On the Uniquely List Colorable Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
Let G be a graph with ν vertices, and let S1, S2, . . . , Sν be a list of colors on its vertices, each of size k. If there exists a unique proper coloring for G from this list of colors, then G is called uniquely k–list colorable graph. We characterize all uniquely 2–list colorable graphs, and discuss uniquely k–list colorable graphs by introducing some open problems. We also show the connection of this concept with the defining sets in graphs and critical sets in latin squares. AMS subject classification: 05

Restricted 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 کاملJ un 1 99 9 Some Concepts in List Coloring
In this paper uniquely list colorable graphs are studied. A graph G is called to be uniquely k–list colorable if it admits a k–list assignment from which G has a unique list coloring. The minimum k for which G is not uniquely k–list colorable is called the m–number of G. We show that every triangle–free uniquely colorable graph with chromatic number k+1, is uniquely k–list colorable. A bound fo...

Let G be a graph with n vertices and suppose that for each vertex v in G, there exists a list of k colors, L(v), such that there is a unique proper coloring for G from this collection of lists, then G is called a uniquely k–list colorable graph. Recently M. Mahdian and E.S. Mahmoodian characterized uniquely 2–list colorable graphs. Here we state some results which will pave the way in character...
