Erdős Problem #1032

partialconfidence 70%

VibeMathed reports this item as partial. VibeMath preserves that report as a source assertion and has not independently authored a plain-language mathematical explanation.

Precise statement

Do arbitrarily large 4-chromatic edge-critical graphs exist with minimum degree bounded below by a positive constant times the number of vertices?

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.
