β¦ Synopsis
A graph coloring problem usdul in deciding whether a set of call requests in cellular radio is compatible with frequency use constraints is introduced. Lower and upper bounds are obtained for the hexagonal cell case typical of raany urban cellular systems. These bounds are on the number of frequencies needed to satisfy demand when there is an upper bound on the demand with small subsets. For example, if we have 308 frequency channels available, as for American cellular systems, then this is enough to satisfy any set of call requests when every "superhex" of 7 hexagons, 6 around 1, has at most 154 call" requests. But 308 frequencies are definitely not enough if we permit some superhexes to have 206 or more call requests.

## Abstract A __polychromatic k__β__coloring__ of a plane graph __G__ is an assignment of __k__ colors to the vertices of __G__ such that every face of __G__ has __all k__ colors on its boundary. For a given plane graph __G__, one seeks the __maximum__ number __k__ such that __G__ admits a polychro
It is shown that there is a constant \(c\) such that if \(G\) is a graph embedded in a surface of genus \(g\) (either orientable or non-orientable) and the length of a shortest non-bounding cycle of \(G\) is at least \(c \log (g+1)\), then \(G\) is six-colorable. A similar result holds for three- an
