List-colouring the square of a K4-minor-free graph

چکیده
Let G be a K4-minor-free graph with maximum degree . It is known that if ∈ {2, 3} then G2 is ( + 2)-degenerate, so that (G2) ch(G2) + 3. It is also known that if 4 then G2 is ( 3 2 + 1)-degenerate and (G2) 3 2 + 1. It is proved here that if 4 then G2 is 3 2 -degenerate and ch(G2) 3 2 + 1. These results are sharp. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

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 کاملEdge and Total Choosability of Near-Outerplanar Graphs
It is proved that, if G is a K4-minor-free graph with maximum degree ∆ > 4, then G is totally (∆ + 1)-choosable; that is, if every element (vertex or edge) of G is assigned a list of ∆ + 1 colours, then every element can be coloured with a colour from its own list in such a way that every two adjacent or incident elements are coloured with different colours. Together with other known results, t...
متن کاملChoosability of Squares of K4-minor Free Graphs
Lih, Wang and Zhu [Discrete Math. 269 (2003), 303–309] proved that the chromatic number of the square of a K4-minor free graph with maximum degree ∆ is bounded by ⌊3∆/2⌋+1 if ∆ ≥ 4, and is at most ∆+3 for ∆ ∈ {2, 3}. We show that the same bounds hold for the list chromatic number of squares of K4-minor free graphs. The same result was also proved independently by Hetherington and Woodall.
متن کاملTotal 4-Choosability of Series-Parallel Graphs
It is proved that, if G is a K4-minor-free graph with maximum degree 3, then G is totally 4-choosable; that is, if every element (vertex or edge) of G is assigned a list of 4 colours, then every element can be coloured with a colour from its own list in such a way that every two adjacent or incident elements are coloured with different colours. Together with other known results, this shows that...
متن کامل-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2
For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...
