Abstract

In this note, it is shown that every graph with no K"4","k-minor is 4k-list-colorable. We also give an extremal function for the existence for a K"4","k-minor. Our proof implies that there is a linear time algorithm for showing that either G has a K"4","k-minor or G is 4k-choosable. In fact, if the latter holds, then the algorithm gives rise to a 4k-list-coloring.
