Miao et al. (2024) [2] claimed that every planar graph without adjacent $3$-cycles is odd $7$-colorable and every triangle-free planar graph without intersecting $4$-cycles is odd $5$-colorable. Here, we point out that their published proof contains a fundamental flaw which affects the validity of the main results.</dc:description><dc:date>2026</dc:date><dc:date>2026-02-03 09:01:09</dc:date><dc:type>Članek v reviji</dc:type><dc:identifier>179007</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>UDK: 519.17</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>ISSN pri članku: 0012-365X</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>DOI: 10.1016/j.disc.2026.115014</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>COBISS_ID: 266953475</dc:identifier><dc:language>sl</dc:language></metadata>
