Abstract
We generalize the Five-Color Theorem by showing that it extends to graphs with two crossings. Furthermore, we show that if a graph has three crossings, but does not contain K6 as a subgraph, then it is also 5-colorable. We also consider the question of whether the result can be extended to graphs with more crossings. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
