摘要
We prove that for every integer t > 1 there exists a constant c(t) such that for every K-t-minor-free graph G, and every set S of balls in G, the minimum size of a set of vertices of G intersecting all the balls of S is at most c(t) times the maximum number of vertex-disjoint balls in S. This was conjectured by Chepoi, Estellon, and Vaxes in 2007 in the special case of planar graphs and of balls having the same radius.
