Title
Rainbowness of cubic plane graphs
Abstract
The rainbowness, rb(G), of a connected plane graph G is the minimum number k such that any colouring of vertices of the graph G using at least k colours involves a face all vertices of which receive distinct colours. For a connected cubic plane graph G we prove that n2+α1*-1⩽rb(G)⩽n-α0*+1,where α0* and α1* denote the independence number and the edge independence number, respectively, of the dual graph G* of G. We also prove that if the dual graph G* of an n-vertex cubic 3-connected plane graph G has a perfect matching then rb(G)=34n.
