| Description | Reed conjectured that for every epsilon > 0 and every integer Delta, there exists g such that the fractional total chromatic number of every graph with maximum degree Delta and girth at least g is at most Delta + 1 + epsilon. The conjecture was proven to be true when Delta = 3 or Delta is even. We settle the conjecture by proving it for the remaining cases. |
