Abstract

A facial 33-complete kk-coloring of a triangulation GG on a surface is a vertex kk-coloring such that every triple of kk-colors appears on the boundary of some face of GG. The facial 33-achromatic number ψ3(G)\psi_3(G) of GG is the maximum integer kk such that GG has a facial 33-complete kk-coloring. This notion is an expansion of the complete coloring, that is, a proper vertex coloring of a graph such that every pair of colors appears on the ends of some edge. For two triangulations GG and GG' on a surface, ψ3(G)\psi_3(G) may not be equal to ψ3(G)\psi_3(G') even if GG is isomorphic to GG' as graphs. Hence, it would be interesting to see how large the difference between ψ3(G)\psi_3(G) and ψ3(G)\psi_3(G') can be. We shall show that the upper bound for such difference in terms of the genus of the surface.
