摘要
In the core of the seminal Graph Minor Theory of Robertson and Seymour lies a powerful theorem capturing the ``rough'' structure of graphs excluding a fixed minor. This result was used to prove Wagner's Conjecture that finite graphs are well-quasi-ordered under the graph minor relation. Recently, a number of beautiful results that use this structural result have appeared. Some of these along with some other recent advances on graph minors are surveyed.
