\section{Kempe's Proof (Valid Portion)}
\subsection{Setup}
Kempe's strategy, published in 1879, follows a \emph{minimal counterexample} argument. Suppose, for contradiction, that there exists a planar graph requiring 5 colors. Among all such graphs, let $G$ be one with the fewest vertices. Then every planar graph with fewer vertices than $G$ is 4-colorable, but $G$ itself is not.
\subsection{Every Planar Graph Has a Vertex of Degree at Most 5}
\begin{lemma}
Every planar graph has at least one vertex of degree $\leq 5$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Let $G$ be a connected planar graph with $V$ vertices, $E$ edges, and $F$ faces. By Euler's formula,
\[
V - E + F = 2.
\]
Since every face is bounded by at least 3 edges and each edge borders at most 2 faces, we have $2E \geq 3F$, hence $F \leq \frac{2E}{3}$. Substituting into Euler's formula:
\[
V - E + \frac{2E}{3} \geq 2 \implies E \leq 3V - 6.
\]
If every vertex had degree $\geq 6$, then $2E \geq 6V$, so $E \geq 3V$, contradicting $E \leq 3V - 6$. Therefore at least one vertex has degree $\leq 5$.
\end{proof}
Since $G$ is a minimal counterexample, it must contain a vertex $v$ of degree at most 5. Kempe argued by cases on the degree of $v$.
\subsection{Cases of Degree at Most 3}
Suppose $v$ has degree $\leq 3$. Remove $v$ from $G$ to obtain the graph $G - v$. Since $G - v$ has fewer vertices than $G$, it is 4-colorable by minimality. Fix such a 4-coloring. Now reinsert $v$: its at most 3 neighbors occupy at most 3 of the 4 colors, so at least one color remains available for $v$. This yields a valid 4-coloring of $G$, a contradiction.
\subsection{Case of Degree 4}
Suppose $v$ has degree exactly 4 with neighbors $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$ appearing in cyclic order around $v$ in the planar embedding. Remove $v$ and 4-color $G - v$ by minimality. If the four neighbors do not all receive distinct colors, then at least one color is unused among them, and we may assign that color to $v$, giving a contradiction.
So assume $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$ receive all four distinct colors; call them $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$ respectively. Define a \emph{Kempe chain} to be a maximal connected subgraph whose vertices are colored with exactly two specified colors.
Consider the Kempe chain $K_{13}$ containing $a$ (using colors 1 and 3).
\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Case 1}: $c$ is not in $K_{13}$. Swap colors 1 and 3 throughout $K_{13}$. This is still a valid coloring of $G - v$, and now $a$ receives color 3, so color 1 is free for $v$.
\item \textbf{Case 2}: $c$ is in $K_{13}$. Then there is a path of alternating colors 1 and 3 from $a$ to $c$ in the planar embedding. Because $a$ and $c$ alternate around $v$ with $b$ and $d$, this path separates $b$ from $d$ in the plane. Therefore $b$ and $d$ lie in different Kempe chains for colors 2 and 4. Swap colors 2 and 4 in the chain containing $b$; now $b$ receives color 4, freeing color 2 for $v$.
\end{itemize}
In both cases we obtain a valid 4-coloring of $G$, a contradiction.
\section{Resolution of Degree 5 Case}
\subsection{At Least 12 Vertices of Degree 5}
Since we have already handled every vertex of degree $\leq 4$, we may assume without loss of generality that the minimal counterexample $G$ has minimum degree 5. We now show that $G$ must contain at least 12 vertices of degree exactly 5.
\begin{lemma}
If $G$ is a planar graph with minimum degree 5, then $G$ contains at least 12 vertices of degree exactly 5.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
For each $k \geq 5$, let $n_k$ denote the number of vertices of degree exactly $k$ in $G$. Since every vertex has degree $\geq 5$,
\[
V = \sum_{k \geq 5} n_k, \qquad 2E = \sum_{k \geq 5} k\, n_k.
\]
Using $E \leq 3V - 6$, we obtain $2E \leq 6V - 12$, so
\[
\sum_{k \geq 5} k\, n_k \leq 6\sum_{k \geq 5} n_k - 12.
\]
Moving all terms to the right-hand side gives
\[
12 \leq 6\sum_{k \geq 5} n_k - \sum_{k \geq 5} k\, n_k = \sum_{k \geq 5} (6 - k)\, n_k.
\]
We now expand this sum by separating the $k = 5$, $k = 6$, and $k \geq 7$ terms:
\[
\sum_{k \geq 5}(6-k)\,n_k
= \underbrace{(6-5)\,n_5}_{=\,n_5}
+ \underbrace{(6-6)\,n_6}_{=\,0}
+ \sum_{k \geq 7}(6-k)\,n_k
= n_5 - \sum_{k \geq 7}(k-6)\,n_k.
\]
Therefore $12 \leq n_5 - \sum_{k \geq 7}(k-6)\,n_k$, which rearranges to
\[
n_5 \geq 12 + \sum_{k \geq 7}(k-6)\,n_k.
\]
Since $k - 6 \geq 1 > 0$ and $n_k \geq 0$ for all $k \geq 7$, each term in the sum is non-negative, so $\sum_{k \geq 7}(k-6)\,n_k \geq 0$ and thus $n_5 \geq 12$.
\end{proof}
\subsection{Two Non-Adjacent Vertices of Degree 5}
\begin{lemma}
If $G$ is a planar graph with minimum degree 5, then $G$ contains two non-adjacent vertices of degree exactly 5.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
By the previous lemma, $G$ contains at least 12 vertices of degree exactly 5. Let $S$ denote the set of all degree-5 vertices, so $|S| \geq 12$. Suppose for contradiction that every two vertices in $S$ are adjacent, i.e., $S$ induces a clique in $G$. Then every vertex $v \in S$ is adjacent to all other $|S| - 1 \geq 11$ vertices of $S$. But $\deg(v) = 5$, so $v$ has at most 5 neighbors in total. Since $11 > 5$, this is a contradiction. Therefore $S$ does not form a clique, and there exist two vertices $v_1, v_2 \in S$ that are non-adjacent.
\end{proof}
\subsection{The Reduced Subgraph $G'$}
By the previous lemma, we may fix two non-adjacent vertices $v_0, v_1 \in G$ each of degree 5. Define
\[
G' = G - \{v_0, v_1\},
\]
as the subgraph of $G$ obtained by deleting $v_0$ and $v_1$ together with all edges incident to either vertex. Since $G'$ has strictly fewer vertices than $G$, the minimality of $G$ guarantees that $G'$ admits a proper 4-coloring $\phi : V(G') \to \{1,2,3,4\}$. Because $v_0$ and $v_1$ are non-adjacent in $G$, neither is a neighbor of the other, so each retains all 5 of its neighbors in $G'$. Let $N(v_i)$ denote the set of neighbors of $v_i$ in $G$; then $N(v_0)$ and $N(v_1)$ are each sets of 5 vertices, all of which lie in $G'$ and are assigned colors by $\phi$. Note also that $N(v_0)$ and $N(v_1)$ may overlap. Let $\Phi$ be the set of all possible 4-colorings of $G'$.
\subsection{Not All Colorings in $\Phi$ Saturate Both Neighborhoods}
\begin{lemma}
It is not possible that every $\phi \in \Phi$ satisfies both $|\phi(N(v_0))| = 4$ and $|\phi(N(v_1))| = 4$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
We show the stronger fact that there exists $\phi \in \Phi$ with $|\phi(N(v_0))| \leq 3$.
Since $v_1$ is a single vertex, $G - \{v_1\}$ is a planar graph on $V - 1$ vertices. Because $V - 1 < V$ and $G$ is a minimal counterexample, $G - \{v_1\}$ is 4-colorable. Fix a proper 4-coloring $\psi$ of $G - \{v_1\}$. This coloring assigns a color to every vertex of $G'$ and also to $v_0$.
Let $\phi = \psi|_{V(G')}$ be the restriction of $\psi$ to $G'$. Since $\psi$ is a proper coloring of $G - \{v_1\} \supseteq G'$, the restriction $\phi$ is a proper 4-coloring of $G'$, so $\phi \in \Phi$.
Because $\psi$ is a proper coloring of $G - \{v_1\}$ and $v_0 \in V(G - \{v_1\})$, the color $\psi(v_0)$ differs from the color of every neighbor of $v_0$. In particular, $\psi(v_0) \notin \phi(N(v_0))$. Since $\psi(v_0) \in \{1,2,3,4\}$ and $\psi(v_0)$ does not appear in $\phi(N(v_0))$, it follows that $|\phi(N(v_0))| \leq 3$. Therefore not every coloring in $\Phi$ uses all 4 colors on $N(v_0)$, and in particular it is impossible that every $\phi \in \Phi$ saturates both $N(v_0)$ and $N(v_1)$ with all 4 colors.
\end{proof}
\section{Merged Subgraphs of $G'$}
Let $N(v_0) = \{a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4\}$ be the five neighbors of $v_0$ in $G'$. For each pair of non-adjacent vertices $a_i, a_j \in N(v_0)$ (i.e., $\{a_i, a_j\} \notin E(G')$), define the graph $G'_{ij}$ to be the result of identifying $a_i$ and $a_j$ in $G'$: formally, $G'_{ij}$ is obtained from $G'$ by removing $a_i$ and $a_j$ and adding a new vertex $a_{ij}$ adjacent to every vertex in $N_{G'}(a_i) \cup N_{G'}(a_j)$. Define the set of all such merged subgraphs by
\[
\mathcal{M} = \bigl\{\, G'_{ij} : a_i, a_j \in N(v_0),\ \{a_i, a_j\} \notin E(G') \,\bigr\}.
\]
\subsection{Colorings of Merged Subgraphs Extend to $G'$}
For each $G'_{ij} \in \mathcal{M}$, let $\Phi(G'_{ij})$ denote the set of proper 4-colorings of $G'_{ij}$. Each such coloring can be extended to a coloring of $G'$ by assigning the color of the merged vertex $a_{ij}$ back to both $a_i$ and $a_j$. Formally, for $\psi \in \Phi(G'_{ij})$, define $\widetilde{\psi} : V(G') \to \{1,2,3,4\}$ by
\[
\widetilde{\psi}(v) = \begin{cases} \psi(a_{ij}) & \text{if } v = a_i \text{ or } v = a_j, \\ \psi(v) & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}
\]
Let $\widetilde{\Phi}_{ij} = \{\,\widetilde{\psi} : \psi \in \Phi(G'_{ij})\,\}$ denote the set of all such extensions.
\begin{lemma}
For each $G'_{ij} \in \mathcal{M}$, we have $\widetilde{\Phi}_{ij} \subseteq \Phi$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Let $\psi \in \Phi(G'_{ij})$ and let $\widetilde{\psi}$ be its extension to $G'$. We verify that $\widetilde{\psi}$ is a proper coloring of $G'$ by checking every edge $\{u, w\} \in E(G')$.
\textbf{Case 1: neither $u$ nor $w$ is $a_i$ or $a_j$.} Then $\{u, w\}$ is also an edge of $G'_{ij}$, and $\widetilde{\psi}(u) = \psi(u) \neq \psi(w) = \widetilde{\psi}(w)$.
\textbf{Case 2: $u \in \{a_i, a_j\}$ and $w \notin \{a_i, a_j\}$ (or vice versa).} Then $w \in N_{G'}(a_i) \cup N_{G'}(a_j)$, so $w$ is adjacent to $a_{ij}$ in $G'_{ij}$. Since $\psi$ is proper, $\psi(w) \neq \psi(a_{ij}) = \widetilde{\psi}(u)$.
\textbf{Case 3: $u = a_i$ and $w = a_j$.} This case cannot occur, since $a_i$ and $a_j$ are non-adjacent in $G'$ by the definition of $\mathcal{M}$.
In all cases the endpoints of every edge receive distinct colors, so $\widetilde{\psi} \in \Phi$.
\end{proof}
