Abstract

Tutte [W.T. Tutte, On the algebraic theory of graph colorings, J. Combin. Theory 1 (1966) 15-20] conjectured that every bridgeless Petersen-minor free graph admits a nowhere-zero 4-flow. Let (P"1"0)"@m"@? be the graph obtained from the Petersen graph by contracting @m edges from a perfect matching. In this paper we prove that every bridgeless (P"1"0)"3"@?-minor free graph admits a nowhere-zero 4-flow.
