A graph is outer-1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that all vertices lie on the outer-face and each edge crosses at most one another edge.It is known that every outer-1-planar graph is a planar partial3-tree...A graph is outer-1-planar if it can be drawn in the plane so that all vertices lie on the outer-face and each edge crosses at most one another edge.It is known that every outer-1-planar graph is a planar partial3-tree.In this paper,we conjecture that every planar graph G has a proper incidence(Δ(G)+2)-coloring and confirm it for outer-1-planar graphs with maximum degree at least 8 or with girth at least 4.Specifically,we prove that every outer-1-planar graph G has an incidence(Δ(G)+3,2)-coloring,and every outer-1-planar graph G with maximum degree at least 8 or with girth at least 4 has an incidence(Δ(G)+2,2)-coloring.展开更多
