Such a coloring is said to be proper anti-rainbow. A plane quadrangulation G is a plane graph in which all faces are bounded by a cycle of length 4. In this paper, we show that the number of colors in a proper anti-rainbow coloring of a plane quadrangulation G does not exceed 3α(G)/2, where α(G) is the independence number of G. Moreover, if the minimum degree of G is 3 or if G is 3-connected, then this bound can be improved to 5α(G)/4 or 7α(G)/6+1/3, respectively. All of these bounds are tight., This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Graphs and Combinatorics.
