Abstract:A vertex coloring of a graph , is an assigments of colors to the vertices of , such that no two adjacent vertices are assigned the same color. The least number of colors needed for an vertices coloring of a graph is the chromatic number, denoted by . A graph is said to be planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that no edges crossing except at endpoints. A dual graph is constructed from the planar graph. Each region in planar graph can be represented by a vertex of the dual graph. Two vertices are connected… Show more
