SummaryTwo polynomials θ(G, n) and ϕ(G, n) connected with the colourings of a graph G or of associated maps are discussed. A result believed to be new is proved for the lesser-known polynomial ϕ(G, n). Attention is called to some unsolved problems concerning ϕ(G, n) which are natural generalizations of the Four Colour Problem from planar graphs to general graphs. A polynomial χ(G, x, y) in two variables x and y, which can be regarded as generalizing both θ(G, n) and ϕ(G, n) is studied. For a connected graph χ(G, x, y) is defined in terms of the “spanning” trees of G (which include every vertex) and in terms of a fixed enumeration of the edges.

Abstract A (not necessarily proper) vertex colouring of a graph has clustering c if every monochromatic component has at most c vertices. We prove that planar graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^2)$ . The previous best bound was $O(\Delta^{37})$ . This result for planar graphs generalises to graphs that can be drawn on a surface of bounded Euler genus with a bounded number of crossings per edge. We then prove that graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ that exclude a fixed minor are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^5)$ . The best previous bound for this result was exponential in $\Delta$ .
