چکیده

We prove that if G is a quasi-line graph with ∆(G) > ω(G) and ∆(G) ≥ 69, then χOL(G) ≤ ∆(G) − 1. Together with our previous work, this implies that if G is a claw-free graph with ∆(G) > ω(G) and ∆(G) ≥ 69, then χl(G) ≤ ∆(G)− 1.

A dynamic k-coloring of a graph G is a proper k-coloring of the vertices of G such that every vertex of degree at least 2 in G will be adjacent to vertices with at least 2 different colors. The smallest number k for which a graph G can have a dynamic k-coloring is the dynamic chromatic number, denoted by χd(G). In this paper, we investigate the dynamic 3-colorings of claw-free graphs. First, we...

Planarization and Acyclic Colorings of Subcubic Claw-Free Graphs

We study methods of planarizing and acyclically coloring claw-free subcubic graphs. We give a polynomial-time algorithm that, given such a graph G, produces an independent set Q of at most n/6 vertices whose removal from G leaves an induced planar subgraph P (in fact, P has treewidth at most four). We further show the stronger result that in polynomial-time a set of at most n/6 edges can be ide...

List-Coloring Claw-Free Graphs with Small Clique Number

Chudnovsky and Seymour proved that every connected claw-free graph that contains a stable set of size 3 has chromatic number at most twice its clique number. We improve this for small clique size, showing that every claw-free graph with clique number at most 3 is 4-choosable and every claw-free graph with clique number at most 4 is 7-choosable. These bounds are tight.
