There are two main conjectures known as the Hadwiger conjecture or Hadwiger's conjecture:
- Hadwiger conjecture (graph theory), a relationship between the number of colors needed by a given graph and the size of its largest clique minor
- Hadwiger conjecture (combinatorial geometry) that for any n-dimensional convex body, at most 2n smaller homothetic bodies are necessary to contain the original
Famous quotes containing the word conjecture:
“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
