Abstract

In this paper, we prove a structural theorem of Lebesgue's type concerning some unavoidable configurations for graphs which can be embedded on surfaces of nonnegative characteristic and in which no two 3-cycles share a common vertex. As a corollary, we get a result about choosability of graphs embedded in surface of positive characteristic.
