Flexible list colorings in graphs with special degeneracy conditions

چکیده
For a given $\varepsilon > 0$, we say that graph $G$ is $\varepsilon$-flexibly $k$-choosable if the following holds: for any assignment $L$ of color lists size $k$ on $V(G)$, preferred from list requested at set $R$ vertices, then least |R|$ these requests are satisfied by some $L$-coloring. We consider question flexible choosability in several classes with certain degeneracy conditions. characterize graphs maximum degree $\Delta$ $\Delta$-choosable = \varepsilon(\Delta) which answers Dvo\v{r}\'ak, Norin, and Postle [List coloring requests, JGT 2019]. In particular, show $\Delta\geq 3$, not isomorphic to $K_{\Delta+1}$ $\frac{1}{6\Delta}$-flexibly $\Delta$-choosable. Our fraction $\frac{1}{6 \Delta}$ within constant factor being best possible. also treewidth $2$ $\frac{1}{3}$-flexibly $3$-choosable, answering Choi et al.~[arXiv 2020], give conditions assignments $\frac{1}{k+1}$-flexibly $(k+1)$-choosable. furthermore treedepth $\frac{1}{k}$-flexibly $k$-choosable. Finally, introduce notion degeneracy, strengthens choosability, apart well-understood class exceptions, 3-connected non-regular flexibly $(\Delta - 1)$-degenerate.

List Colorings of K5-Minor-Free Graphs With Special List Assignments
A list assignment L of G is a function that assigns to every vertex v of G a set (list) L(v) of colors. The graph G is called L-list colorable if there is a coloring φ of the vertices of G such that φ(v) ∈ L(v) for all v ∈ V (G) and φ(v) 6= φ(w) for all vw ∈ E(G). We consider the following question of Bruce Richter, where d(v) denotes the degree of v in G: Let G be a planar, 3-connected graph t...
متن کاملList-Distinguishing Colorings of Graphs
A coloring of the vertices of a graph G is said to be distinguishing provided that no nontrivial automorphism of G preserves all of the vertex colors. The distinguishing number of G, denoted D(G), is the minimum number of colors in a distinguishing coloring of G. The distinguishing number, first introduced by Albertson and Collins in 1996, has been widely studied and a number of interesting res...
متن کاملRestricted List Colorings of Graphs
A graph is called to be uniquely list colorable, if it admits a list assignment which induces a unique list coloring. We study uniquely list colorable graphs with a restriction on the number of colors used. In this way we generalize a theorem which characterizes uniquely 2–list colorable graphs. We introduce the uniquely list chromatic number of a graph and make a conjecture about it which is a...
متن کاملList total colorings of graphs
We introduce the concept of list total colorings and prove that every multigraph of maximum degree 3 is 5-total-choosable. We also show that the total-choosability of a graph of maximum degree 2 is equal to its total chromatic number.
متن کاملOriented list colorings of graphs
A 2-assignment on a graph G = (V; E) is a collection of pairs L(v) of allowed colors speciied for all vertices v 2 V. The graph G (with at least one edge) is said to have oriented choice number 2 if it admits an orientation which satisses the following property : For every 2-assignment there exists a choice c(v) 2 L(v) for all v 2 V such that (i) if c(v) = c(w), then vw = 2 E, and (ii) for ever...
