## dedicated to professor w. t. tutte on the occasion of his eightieth birtday It is known that the chromatic number of a graph G=(V, E) with V= [1, 2, ..., n] exceeds k iff the graph polynomial f G => ij # E, i<j (x i &x j ) lies in certain ideals. We describe a short proof of this result, using
The Graph Minor Theorem of Robertson and Seymour establishes nonconstructively that many natural graph properties are characterized by a ΓΏnite set of forbidden substructures, the obstructions for the property. We prove several general theorems regarding the computation of obstruction sets from other
