## Abstract We associate partitions of the edge‐set of a 4‐regular plane graph into 1‐factors or 2‐factors to certain 3‐valued vertex signatures in the spirit of the work by H. Grötzsch [1]. As a corollary we obtain a simple proof of a result of F. Jaeger and H. Shank [2] on the edge‐4‐colorability

Abstract
A full coloring of a planar map is a face coloring such that all the faces at ech vertex are colored differently. In this paper the planar 4‐regular maps which have a full 4‐coloring are characterized. This leads to a characterization of the planar maps (not necessarily 4‐valent) which have a coupled 4‐coloring.

## Abstract A (plane) 4‐regular map __G__ is called __C__‐simple if it arises as a superposition of simple closed curves (tangencies are not allowed); in this case σ (__G__) is the smallest integer __k__ such that the curves of __G__ can be colored with __k__ colors in such a way that no two curves
On p. 272 of the above article, paragraph # 3 is incomplete. It should read as the following: Hence to prove Proposition 4 it is enough to show that the edges of Q 4 can be colored with 4 colors in such a way that each square has one edge of each color. Such a coloring is displayed on the following
## Abstract On the model of the cycle‐plus‐triangles theorem, we consider the problem of 3‐colorability of those 4‐regular hamiltonian graphs for which the components of the edge‐complement of a given hamiltonian cycle are non‐selfcrossing cycles of constant length ≥ 4. We show that this problem is
In this paper rooted (near-) 4-regular maps on the plane are counted with respect to the root-valency, the number of edges, the number of inner faces, the number of non-root vertex loops, the number of non-root vertex blocks, and the number of multi-edges. As special cases, formulae of several types
