摘要:Consider a graph obtained by taking edge disjoint union of k complete bipartite graphs.
Alon, Saks and Seymour conjectured that such graph has chromatic number at most k+1.
This well known conjecture remained open for almost twenty years.
In this paper, we construct a counterexample to this
conjecture and discuss several related problems in combinatorial geometry
and communication complexity.
