Every graph embedded on a surface of positive genus with every face bounded by an even number of edges can be 3-colored provided all noncontractible cycles in the graph are sufficiently long. The bound of three colors is the smallest possible for this type of result. 1995 Academic Press. Inc.

We characterize those graphs which have at least one embedding into some surface such that the faces can be properly colored in four or fewer colors. Embeddings into both orientable and nonorientable surfaces are considered.
A face 2-colourable triangulation of an orientable surface by a complete graph K n exists if and only if n#3 or 7 (mod 12). The existence of such triangulations follows from current graph constructions used in the proof of the Heawood conjecture. In this paper we give an alternative construction for
For any graph \(G\) embedded on the torus, the face-width \(r(G)\) of \(G\) is the minimum number of intersections of \(G\) and \(C\), where \(C\) ranges over all nonnullhomotopic closed curves on the torus. We call \(G r\)-minimal if \(r(G) \geqslant r\) and \(r\left(G^{\prime}\right)<r\) for each
A graph is called of type k if it is connected, regular, and has k distinct eigenvalues. For example graphs of type 2 are the complete graphs, while those of type 3 are the strongly regular graphs. We prove that for any positive integer n, every graph can be embedded in n cospectral, non-isomorphic
## Abstract We prove that every simple cubic planar graph admits a planar embedding such that each edge is embedded as a straight line segment of integer length. ยฉ 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 58:270โ274, 2008
