We characterize those graphs which have at least one embedding into some surface such that the faces can be properly colored in four or fewer colors. Embeddings into both orientable and nonorientable surfaces are considered.

An edge-face coloring of a plane graph with edge set E and face set F is a coloring of the elements of E βͺF so that adjacent or incident elements receive different colors. Borodin [Discrete Math 128(1-3): [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] 1994] proved that every plane graph of max
This paper shows that a simple graph which can be cellularly embedded on some closed surface in such a way that the size of each face does not exceed 7 is upper embeddable. This settles one of two conjectures posed by Nedela and S8 koviera (1990, in ``Topics in Combinatorics and Graph Theory,'' pp.
The face-hypergraph, H(G), of a graph G embedded in a surface has vertex set V(G), and every face of G corresponds to an edge of H(G) consisting of the vertices incident to the face. We study coloring parameters of these embedded hypergraphs. A hypergraph is k-colorable (k-choosable) if there is a c
## G, let a(G? maximum number k such that G contains a circuit with k Theorem. For any graph G with minimum valency n 2 3, a(G) z=:$(n + l)(n -2). If the equality holds and :3 is connected, then either G is isomorphic to K,,, or G is separable and each of its terminal blocks is isomorphic to K,+,
