Fabrici and G\\\"{o}ring conjectured the following stronger statement to also hold: the vertices of every plane graph can be properly coloured with the numbers 1,...,4 in such a way that every face contains a unique vertex coloured with the maximal color appearing on that face. They proved that every plane graph has such a colouring with the numbers 1,...,6. We prove that every plane graph has such a colouring with the numbers 1,...,5 and we also prove the list variant of the statement for lists of sizes seven.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-09-08T09:24:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "plane graph", "unique maximal colours", "colour theorem asserts", "maximal color", "stronger statement" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014arXiv1409.2250W" } } }
