List edge-colouring and total colouring in graphs of low treewidth

چکیده
We prove that the list chromatic index of a graph of maximum degree ∆ and treewidth ≤ √ 2∆ − 3 is ∆; and that the total chromatic number of a graph of maximum degree ∆ and treewidth ≤ ∆/3 + 1 is ∆ + 1. This improves results by Meeks and Scott.

List-colourings of Near-outerplanar Graphs
A list-colouring of a graph is an assignment of a colour to each vertex v from its own list L(v) of colours. Instead of colouring vertices we may want to colour other elements of a graph such as edges, faces, or any combination of vertices, edges and faces. In this thesis we will study several of these different types of list-colouring, each for the class of a near-outerplanar graphs. Since a g...
متن کاملEquitable neighbour-sum-distinguishing edge and total colourings
With any (not necessarily proper) edge k-colouring γ : E(G) −→ {1, . . . , k} of a graph G, one can associate a vertex colouring σγ given by σγ(v) = ∑ e∋v γ(e). A neighbour-sumdistinguishing edge k-colouring is an edge colouring whose associated vertex colouring is proper. The neighbour-sum-distinguishing index of a graph G is then the smallest k for which G admits a neighbour-sum-distinguishin...
متن کاملA unified approach to distance-two colouring of planar graphs
We introduce the notion of (A,B)-colouring of a graph: For given vertex sets A, B, this is a colouring of the vertices in B so that both adjacent vertices and vertices with a common neighbour in A receive different colours. This concept generalises the notion of colouring the square of graphs and of cyclic colouring of plane graphs. We prove a general result which implies asymptotic versions of...
متن کاملOn List Colouring and List Homomorphism of Permutation and Interval Graphs
List colouring is an NP-complete decision problem even if the total number of colours is three. It is hard even on planar bipartite graphs. We give a polynomial-time algorithm for solving list colouring of permutation graphs with a bounded total number of colours. More generally we give a polynomial-time algorithm that solves the listhomomorphism problem to any fixed target graph for a large cl...
متن کاملAdapted list colouring of planar graphs
Given a (possibly improper) edge-colouring F of a graph G, a vertex colouring of G is adapted to F if no colour appears at the same time on an edge and on its two endpoints. If for some integer k, a graph G is such that given any list assignment L to the vertices of G, with |L(v)| ≥ k for all v, and any edgecolouring F of G, G admits a colouring c adapted to F where c(v) ∈ L(v) for all v, then ...
