On edge-colorings of bicubic planar graphs
Abstract
In the first part, we introduce a notion a degree of edge-colorings of bicubic plane graphs and proves some local formula of the graded number of colorings. In the second part, we give a new proof of a result of Fisk saying that any two edge-3-colorings of a planar bicubic graph are Kempe equivalent. Additionaly we show that the degree of colorings behaves well with respect to Kempe equivalence.
