## Abstract In this paper, the concept of the ๐ขโconstructibility of graphs is introduced and investigated with particular reference to planar graphs. It is conjectured that the planar graphs are minimally __N__โconstructible, where __N__ is a finite set of graphs and an infinite set ๐ข is obtained s

โฆ Synopsis
A well-known theorem of Heawood states that 3-edge-coloring bridgeless planar cubic graphs-and, hence, the four-color theorem-is equivalent to labeling vertices with either +1 or -1 so that the sum around any face is 0 (mod 3). In this paper we introduce the notion of "angle-labeling" and give results analogous to Heawood's for bridgeless planar graphs with vertices of degree 2 or 3.

A graph G = G(EE) with lists L(v), associated with its vertices v E V, is called L-list colourable if there is a proper vertex colouring of G in which the colour assigned to a vertex v is chosen from L(v). We say G is k-choosable if there is at least one L-list colouring for every possible list assi
This paper concerns a labeling problem of the plane graphs P,,. The present paper describes a nqic vertex labeling and a consecutive labeling ef type (0, I, I). These labelings combine to a consecutice labeling qf type (I, I, I).
## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph drawn in the plane so that its edges are represented by __x__โmonotone curves, any pair of which cross an even number of times. We show that __G__ can be redrawn in such a way that the __x__โcoordinates of the vertices remain unchanged and the edges become nonโcross
The problem of determining the domination number of a graph is a well known NPhard problem, even when restricted to planar graphs. By adding a further restriction on the diameter of the graph, we prove that planar graphs with diameter two and three have bounded domination numbers. This implies that
