  • Abstract
    This paper proves that counterexample of Heawood is four-colorable by using Tait´s methods and that counterexample of Tutte is also four-colorable by using Kempe´s chains. Authors discover formation mechanism of two-level Hamilton cycle in a 3-regular plane graph. It provides a new way for the non-computer proof of four-color problem.
