Abstract

Let G be a plane graph and T an even subset of its vertices. It has been conjectured that if all T-cuts of G have the same parity and the size of every T-cut is at least k, then G contains k edge-disjoint T  -joins. The case k=3k=3 is equivalent to the Four Color Theorem, and the cases k=4k=4, which was conjectured by Seymour, and k=5k=5 were proved by Guenin. We settle the next open case k=6k=6.
