摘要
The Total Coloring Conjecture, in short, TCC, says that every simple graph is (Delta + 2)-totally-colorable where Delta is the maximum degree of the graph. Even for planar graphs this conjecture has not been completely settled yet. However, every planar graph with Delta >= 9 has been proved to be (Delta + 1)-totally-colorable. In this paper, we prove that planar graphs with maximum degree 8 and without adjacent triangles are 9-totally-colorable. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
