摘要
A signed graph is said to be weakly bipartite if the clutter of its odd circuits is ideal. P. D. Seymour (1977, J. Combin. Theory Scr. B 23. 189 122: 1981, Europ. J. Combin. 257-290) conjectured that a signed graph is weakly bipartite if and only if it does not contain a minor called an odd K-5. A proof of this conjecture is given in this paper.
