Abstract A (not necessarily proper) vertex colouring of a graph has clustering c if every monochromatic component has at most c vertices. We prove that planar graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^2)$ . The previous best bound was $O(\Delta^{37})$ . This result for planar graphs generalises to graphs that can be drawn on a surface of bounded Euler genus with a bounded number of crossings per edge. We then prove that graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ that exclude a fixed minor are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^5)$ . The best previous bound for this result was exponential in $\Delta$ .

In [5] it has been proved that by using hidden functions the number of equations needed to specify a finite data type is bounded by numbers depending only on the signature of that data type. In the special case of a finite minimal unoid, however, it seems to be relevant to ask whether or not a specification can also be made by a bounded number of equations using only unary hidden functions. In this paper we prove that this can be done.
