Abstract: | We view an undirected graph as a symmetric digraph, where each edge is replaced by two opposite arcs and . Assume is an inverse closed subset of permutations of positive integers. We say is --colourable if for any mapping with , there is a mapping such that for each arc . The concept of --colourable is a common generalization of several other colouring concepts. This paper is focused on finding the sets such that every triangle-free planar graph is -3-colourable. Such a set is called TFP-good. Grötzsch’s theorem is equivalent to say that is TFP-good. We prove that for any inverse closed subset of which is not isomorphic to , is TFP-good if and only if either or there exists such that for each , . It remains an open question to determine whether or not is TFP-good. |
