Choosability of planar graphs of girth 5

چکیده
Thomassen proved that any plane graph of girth 5 is list-colorable from any list assignment such that all vertices have lists of size two or three and the vertices with list of size two are all incident with the outer face and form an independent set. We present a strengthening of this result, relaxing the constraint on the vertices with list of size two. This result is used to bound the size of the 3-list-coloring critical plane graphs with one precolored face.

Choosability in signed planar graphs
This paper studies the choosability of signed planar graphs. We prove that every signed planar graph is 5-choosable and that there is a signed planar graph which is not 4-choosable while the unsigned graph is 4-choosable. For each k ∈ {3, 4, 5, 6}, every signed planar graph without circuits of length k is 4-choosable. Furthermore, every signed planar graph without circuits of length 3 and of le...
متن کاملImproper choosability of graphs and maximum average degree
Improper choosability of planar graphs has been widely studied. In particular, Škrekovski investigated the smallest integer gk such that every planar graph of girth at least gk is k-improper 2-choosable. He proved [9] that 6 ≤ g1 ≤ 9; 5 ≤ g2 ≤ 7; 5 ≤ g3 ≤ 6 and ∀k ≥ 4, gk = 5. In this paper, we study the greatest real M(k, l) such that every graph of maximum average degree less than M(k, l) is ...
متن کاملChoosability of the square of planar subcubic graphs with large girth
We first show that the choose number of the square of a subcubic graph with maximum average degree less than 18/7 is at most 6. As a corollary, we get that the choose number of the square of a planar graph with girth at least 9 is at most 6. We then show that the choose number of the square of a subcubic planar graph with girth at least 13 is at most 5. Key-words: colouring, list colouring, pla...
متن کاملGroup edge choosability of planar graphs without adjacent short cycles
In this paper, we aim to introduce the group version of edge coloring and list edge coloring, and prove that all 2-degenerate graphs along with some planar graphs without adjacent short cycles is group (∆(G) + 1)-edgechoosable while some planar graphs with large girth and maximum degree is group ∆(G)-edge-choosable.
متن کاملList-colouring Squares of Sparse Subcubic Graphs
The problem of colouring the square of a graph naturally arises in connection with the distance labelings, which have been studied intensively. We consider this problem for sparse subcubic graphs. We show that the choosability χ (G2) of the square of a subcubic graph G of maximum average degree d is at most four if d < 24/11 and G does not contain a 5-cycle, χ (G2) is at most five if d < 7/3 an...
