2-distance 4-colorability of Planar Subcubic Graphs with Girth at Least 22

چکیده
The trivial lower bound for the 2-distance chromatic number χ2(G) of any graph G with maximum degree ∆ is ∆+1. It is known that χ2 = ∆+1 if the girth g of G is at least 7 and ∆ is large enough. There are graphs with arbitrarily large ∆ and g ≤ 6 having χ2(G) ≥ ∆ + 2. We prove the 2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with g ≥ 22.

Injective choosability of subcubic planar graphs with girth 6
An injective coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices of G so that any two vertices with a common neighbor have distinct colors. A graph G is injectively k-choosable if for any list assignment L, where |L(v)| ≥ k for all v ∈ V (G), G has an injective L-coloring. Injective colorings have applications in the theory of error-correcting codes and are closely related to other...
متن کاملList-colouring Squares of Sparse Subcubic Graphs
The problem of colouring the square of a graph naturally arises in connection with the distance labelings, which have been studied intensively. We consider this problem for sparse subcubic graphs. We show that the choosability χ (G2) of the square of a subcubic graph G of maximum average degree d is at most four if d < 24/11 and G does not contain a 5-cycle, χ (G2) is at most five if d < 7/3 an...

متن کاملChoosability of the square of planar subcubic graphs with large girth
We first show that the choose number of the square of a subcubic graph with maximum average degree less than 18/7 is at most 6. As a corollary, we get that the choose number of the square of a planar graph with girth at least 9 is at most 6. We then show that the choose number of the square of a subcubic planar graph with girth at least 13 is at most 5. Key-words: colouring, list colouring, pla...
متن کاملOn Total Vertex Cover Problem in Subcubic Graphs
A total vertex cover is a vertex cover whose induced subgraph consists of a set of connected components, each of which contains at least two vertices. The total vertex cover (TVC) problem ask for the total vertex cover with minimum cardinality. In this paper, we first show that the TVC problem is NP-complete for connected subcubic grid graphs of arbitrary large girth. Next, we show that the TVC...
