Least conflict choosability

چکیده
Given a multigraph, suppose that each vertex is given a local assignment of k colours to its incident edges. We are interested in whether there is a choice of one local colour per vertex such that no edge has both of its local colours chosen. The least k for which this is always possible given any set of local assignments we call the conflict choosability of the graph. This parameter is closely related to separation choosability and adaptable choosability. We show that conflict choosability of simple graphs embeddable on a surface of Euler genus g is O(g log g) as g → ∞. This is sharp up to the logarithmic factor.

Circular consecutive choosability of k-choosable graphs
Let S(r) denote a circle of circumference r. The circular consecutive choosability chcc(G) of a graph G is the least real number t such that for any r > χc(G), if each vertex v is assigned a closed interval L(v) of length t on S(r), then there is a circular r-colouring f of G such that f(v) ∈ L(v). We investigate, for a graph, the relations between its circular consecutive choosability and choo...
متن کاملBounds on circular consecutive choosability
The circular consecutive choosability chcc(G) of a graph G has been recently introduced in [2]. In this paper we prove upper bounds on chcc for series-parallel graphs, planar graphs and k-choosable graphs. Our bounds are tight for classes of series-parallel graphs and k-choosable graphs for k ≥ 3. Then we study the circular consecutive choosability of generalized theta graphs. Lower bounds for ...

متن کاملCircular consecutive choosability of graphs
Abstract This paper considers list circular colouring of graphs in which the colour list assigned to each vertex is an interval of a circle. The circular consecutive choosability chcc(G) of G is defined to be the least t such that for any circle S(r) of length r ≥ χc(G), if each vertex x of G is assigned an interval L(x) of S(r) of length t, then there is a circular r-colouring f of G such that...
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 ...
