Abstract

ABSTRACTAn acyclic colouring of a graph is a proper colouring of the graph, for which every cycle uses at least three colours. In this paper, we describe a method for constructing all 4-connected acyclically 4-colourable planar triangulations that have exactly four odd-vertices, except the ones that contain no adjacent odd-vertices. Unlike previous operations, our method successfully establishes a connection with (acyclic) 4-colourings. Moreover, we discuss a special class of graphs, called diamond triangulations, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a diamond triangulation to be acyclically 4-colourable.
