A vertex coloring of a plane graph is called cyclic if the vertices in each face bounding cycle are colored differently. The main result is an improvement of the upper bound for the cyclic chromatic number of 3-polytopes due to Plummer and Toft, 1987 (J. Graph Theory 11 (1 987) 505-51 7). The proof

A cyclic coloration of a planar graph G is an assignment of colors to the points of G such that for any face bounding cycle the points of f have different colors. We observe that the upper bound 2p\*(G), due to 0. Ore and M. D. Plummer, can be improved to p \* ( G ) + 9 when G is 3connected (p\* den
A remarkable result of Shemer [7] states that the combinatorial structure of a neighbourly 2mpolytope determines the combinatorial structure of each of its subpolytopes. From this, it follows that every subpolytope of a cyclic 2m-polytope is cyclic. In this note, we present a direct proof of this co
