چکیده

Suppose the edges and the vertices of a simple graph G are assigned k-element lists of real weights. By choosing a representative of each list, we specify a vertex colouring, where for each vertex its colour is defined as the sum of the weights of its incident edges and the weight of the vertex itself. How long lists ensures a choice implying a proper vertex colouring for any graph? Is there any finite bound or maybe already lists of length two are sufficient? We prove that 2-element lists are enough for trees, wheels, unicyclic and complete graphs, while the ones of length 3 are sufficient for complete bipartite graphs. Our main tool is an algebraic theorem by Alon called Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.

k-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree

A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...

Total weight choosability of graphs

A graph G = (V, E) is called (k, k′)-total weight choosable if the following holds: For any total list assignment L which assigns to each vertex x a set L(x) of k real numbers, and assigns to each edge e a set L(e) of k′ real numbers, there is a mapping f : V ∪ E → R such that f(y) ∈ L(y) for any y ∈ V ∪ E and for any two adjacent vertices x, x′, ∑ e∈E(x) f(e)+f(x) 6= ∑ e∈E(x′) f(e)+f(x ′). We ...

Bounds 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 ...

Choosability, Edge Choosability, and Total Choosability of Outerplane Graphs

Let χl (G), χ ′ l (G), χ ′′ l (G), and 1(G) denote, respectively, the list chromatic number, the list chromatic index, the list total chromatic number, and the maximum degree of a non-trivial connected outerplane graph G. We prove the following results. (1) 2 ≤ χl (G) ≤ 3 and χl (G) = 2 if and only if G is bipartite with at most one cycle. (2) 1(G) ≤ χ ′ l (G) ≤ 1(G) + 1 and χ ′ l (G) = 1(G) + ...

Adapted List Coloring of Graphs and Hypergraphs

We introduce and study adapted list coloring of graphs and hypergraphs. This is a generalization of ordinary list coloring and adapted coloring, and has more applications than these. We prove that the upper bounds on the adaptable choosability of graphs and uniform hypergraphs in terms of maximum degree are sufficiently stronger than those on the ordinary choosability, while the bounds in terms...
