Abstract: A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on a plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we first give a useful structural theorem for 1-planar graphs, and then apply it to the list edge and list total coloring, the (p,1)-total labelling, and the equitable edge coloring of 1-planar graphs. More precisely, we verify the well-known List Edge Coloring Conjecture and List Total Coloring Conjecture for 1-planar graph with maximum degree at least 18, prove that the (p,1)-total labelling number of every 1-planar graph G is at most Delta(G)+2p2 provided that Delta(G)geq8p+2 and pgeq2, and show that every 1-planar graph has an equitable edge coloring with k colors for any integer kgeq18. These three results respectively generalize the main theorems of three different previously published papers.
