A Lean 4 / Mathlib formalization of classical results on planar graphs and graphs without a K5 minor. (1) Wagner's theorem (1937): a finite graph is planar if and only if it has neither K5 nor K3,3 as a minor. (2) Škrekovski's theorem (1998): every finite graph without a K5 minor is 5-choosable, proved along the route of Wood and Linusson, and Thomassen's theorem (1994) that every finite planar graph is 5-choosable, as a corollary. (3) DP-colouring: every finite graph without a K5 minor (Li–Wang, 2022), hence every finite planar graph (Dvořák–Postle, 2018), is DP-5-colourable. (4) Voigt's…
