Abstract

A clique-coloring of a given graph GG is a coloring of the vertices of GG such that no maximal clique of size at least two is monocolored. The clique-chromatic number of GG is the least number of colors for which GG admits a clique-coloring. It has been proved that every planar graph is 33-clique colorable and every claw-free planar graph, different from an odd cycle, is 22-clique colorable. In this paper, we generalize these results to K3,3K_{3,3}-minor free (K3,3K_{3,3}-subdivision free) graphs.
