It was shown (Kronk and Mitchen, 1973) that the set of vertices, edges and faces of any normal map on the sphere can be colored with seven colors. In this paper we solve a somewhat different problem: the set of edges and faces of any plane graph with A ~< 3 can be colored by six colors.
We consider the problem of efficient coloring of the edges of a so-called binomial tree T, i.e. acyclic graph containing two kinds of edges: those which must have a single color and those which are to be colored with L consecutive colors, where L is an arbitrary integer greater than 1. We give an O(
Computational algorithms are described which provide for constructing the set of associated edgeweighted directed graphs such that the average of the characteristic polynomials of the edge-weighted graphs gives the matching polynomial of the parent graph. The weights were chosen to be unities or pur
