Abstract
Then, we study the class of all graphs with independence number less than three, which are graphs of interest for Hadwiger's Conjecture. We study such graphs for the immersion-analog. If Abu-Khzam and Langston's conjecture is true for this class of graphs, then an easy argument shows that every graph of independence number less than 3 contains Kn2 as an immersion. We show that the converse is also true. That is, if every graph with independence number less than 3 contains an immersion of Kn2, then Abu-Khzam and Langston's conjecture is true for this class of graphs. Furthermore, we show that every graph of independence number less than 3 has an immersion of Kn3.
