A vertex v of G is \"redundant\" if there exist k vertex disjoint paths linking si and ti (1 \\lequal i \\lequal k) in G if and only if such paths also exist in G - v. Robertson and Seymour proved in Graph Minors VII that if v is \"far\" from the vertices si and tj and v is surrounded in a planar part of \\sigma by l(g, k) disjoint cycles, then v is redundant. Unfortunately, their proof of the existence of l(g, k) is not constructive. In this paper, we give an explicit single exponential bound in g and k."},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1309.7820","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
