Abstract
A graph is -colorable if the vertex set can be partitioned into sets , such that for every the subgraph has maximum degree at most . We show that every planar graph without 4- and 5-cycles is -colorable and -colorable. This is a relaxation of the Steinberg Conjecture that every planar graph without 4- and 5-cycles are properly 3-colorable (i.e., -colorable).
