摘要
In this paper, we prove that every plane graph without 5-circuits and without triangles of distance less than 3 is 3-colorable. This improves the main result of Borodin and Raspaud [Borodin, O. V., Raspaud, A.： A sufficient condition for planar graphs to be 3-colorable. Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Ser. B, 88, 17-27 （2003）], and provides a new upper bound to their conjecture.
