Here we address some questions regarding non-repetitive colourings of planar graphs. Specifically, we show that the faces of any outerplanar map can be non-repetitively coloured using at most five colours. We also give some lower bounds for the number of colours required to non-repetitively colour the vertices of both outerplanar and planar graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-07-28T16:06:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15" ], "keywords": [ "planar graphs", "non-repetitively colour", "outerplanar map", "lower bounds", "questions regarding non-repetitive colourings" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......7365R" } } }
