Abstract

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we confirm the total-coloring conjecture for 1-planar graphs without 4-cycles with maximum degree \(\Delta\geq10\).

Keywords: planar graphs, graph coloring, planar graph theory, edge crossings
