We prove that for every graph H, if a graph G has no (odd) H minor, then its vertex set V (G) can be partitioned into three sets X 1, X 2, X 3 such that for each i, the subgraph induced on X i has no component of size larger than a function of H and the maximum degree of G. This improves a previous result of Alon, Ding, Oporowski and Vertigan (2003)[1] stating that V (G) can be partitioned into four such sets if G has no H minor. Our theorem generalizes a result of Esperet and Joret (2014)[9], who proved it for graphs embeddable on a fixed surface and asked whether it is true for graphs with no H minor. As a corollary, we prove that for every positive integer t, if a graph G has no K t+ 1 minor, then its vertex set V (G) can be partitioned into 3t sets X 1,…, X 3 t such that for each i, the subgraph induced on X i has no component of size larger than a function of t. This corollary improves a result of Wood (2010)[21], which states that V (G) can be partitioned into⌈ 3.5 t+ 2⌉ such sets.
