  An edge e is normal in a proper edge-coloring of a cubic graph G if the
number of distinct colors on four edges incident to e is 2 or 4: A normal
edge-coloring of G is a proper edge-coloring in which every edge of G is
normal. The Petersen Coloring Conjecture is equivalent to stating that every
bridgeless cubic graph has a normal 5-edge-coloring. Since every
3-edge-coloring of a cubic graph is trivially normal, it is suficient to
consider only snarks to establish the conjecture. In this paper, we consider a
class of superpositioned snarks obtained by choosing a cycle C in a snark G and
superpositioning vertices of C by one of two simple supervertices and edges of
C by superedges Hx;y, where H is any snark and x; y any pair of nonadjacent
vertices of H: For such superpositioned snarks, two suficient conditions are
given for the existence of a normal 5-edge-coloring. The first condition yields
a normal 5-edge-coloring for all hypohamiltonian snarks used as superedges, but
only for some of the possible ways of connecting them. In particular, since the
Flower snarks are hypohamiltonian, this consequently yields a normal
5-edge-coloring for many snarks superpositioned by the Flower snarks. The
second sufficient condition is more demanding, but its application yields a
normal 5-edge-colorings for all superpositions by the Flower snarks. The same
class of snarks is considered in [S. Liu, R.-X. Hao, C.-Q. Zhang,
Berge{Fulkerson coloring for some families of superposition snarks, Eur. J.
Comb. 96 (2021) 103344] for the Berge-Fulkerson conjecture. Since we
established that this class has a Petersen coloring, this immediately yields
the result of the above mentioned paper.
