Restricted List Colorings of Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
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 generalization of the well known Brooks’ theorem.

Perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs
In this paper, we enumerate the parameter matrices of all perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs consisting of the tetrahedral graph, the cubical graph, the octahedral graph, the dodecahedral graph, and the icosahedral graph.
متن کاملDefective List Colorings of Planar Graphs
We combine the concepts of list colorings of graphs with the concept of defective colorings of graphs and introduce the concept of defective list colorings. We apply these concepts to vertex colorings of various classes of planar graphs. A defective coloring with defect d is a coloring of the vertices such that each color class corresponds to an induced subgraph with maximum degree at most d. A...
متن کاملColorings and Orientations of Matrices and Graphs
We introduce colorings and orientations of matrices as generalizations of the graph theoretic terms. The permanent per(A[ζ|ξ]) of certain copies A[ζ|ξ] of a matrix A can be expressed as a weighted sum over the orientations or the colorings of A . When applied to incidence matrices of graphs these equations include Alon and Tarsi’s theorem about Eulerian orientations and the existence of list co...
متن کاملOn Group Choosability of Total Graphs
In this paper, we study the group and list group colorings of total graphs and present group coloring versions of the total and list total colorings conjectures.We establish the group coloring version of the total coloring conjecture for the following classes of graphs: graphs with small maximum degree, two-degenerate graphs, planner graphs with maximum degree at least 11, planner graphs withou...
متن کاملExtending Hall's Theorem into List Colorings: A Partial History
In 1988, A. J. W. Hilton and P. D. Johnson Jr. found a natural generalization of the condition in Philip Hall’s celebrated theorem on systems of distinct representatives. This generalization was formed in the relatively new theory of list colorings of graphs. Here we give an account of a strand of development arising from this generalization, concentrating on extensions of Hall’s theorem. New r...
