If the vertices of a graph G are partitioned into k classes V~, I/2 ..... Vk such that each V~ is an independent set and I1V~I-IV~[I ~< 1 for all i#j, then G is said to be equitably colored with k colors. The smallest integer n for which G can be equitably colored with n colors is called the equitab

It is proved that there is a function f: N Q N such that the following holds. Let G be a graph embedded in a surface of Euler genus g with all faces of even size and with edge-width \ f(g). Then (i) If every contractible 4-cycle of G is facial and there is a face of size > 4, then G is 3-colorable.
## Abstract Given a bipartite graph __G__(__U__โช__V, E__) with __n__ vertices on each side, an independent set __I__โ__G__ such that |__U__โฉ__I__|=|__V__โฉ__I__| is called a balanced bipartite independent set. A balanced coloring of __G__ is a coloring of the vertices of __G__ such that each color c
