Planar graphs with $\Delta\geq 7$ and no triangle adjacent to a $C_4$ are minimally edge and total choosable

چکیده
For planar graphs, we consider the problems of list edge coloring and list total coloring. Edge coloring is the problem of coloring the edges while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent receive different colors. Total coloring is the problem of coloring the edges and the vertices while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent, two vertices that are adjacent, or a vertex and an edge that are incident receive different colors. In their list extensions, instead of having the same set of colors for the whole graph, every vertex or edge is assigned some set of colors and has to be colored from it. A graph is minimally edge or total choosable if it is list edge∆-colorable or list total (∆+ 1)-colorable, respectively, where∆ is the maximum degree in the graph. It is already known that planar graphs with ∆ ≥ 8 and no triangle adjacent to a C4 are minimally edge and total choosable (Li Xu 2011), and that planar graphs with∆ ≥ 7 and no triangle sharing a vertex with a C4 or no triangle adjacent to a Ck (∀3 ≤ k ≤ 6) are minimally total colorable (Wang Wu 2011). We strengthen here these results and prove that planar graphs with∆ ≥ 7 and no triangle adjacent to a C4 are minimally edge and total choosable.

متن کاملAdaptable choosability of planar graphs with sparse short cycles
Given a (possibly improper) edge-colouring F of a graph G, a vertex colouring of G is adapted to F if no colour appears at the same time on an edge and on its two endpoints. A graph G is called adaptably k-choosable (for some positive integer k) if for any list assignment L to the vertices of G, with |L(v)| ≥ k for all v, and any edge-colouring F of G, G admits a colouring c adapted to F where ...
متن کامل3-Choosability of Triangle-Free Planar Graphs with Constraints on 4-Cycles
A graph is k-choosable if it can be colored whenever every vertex has a list of at least k available colors. A theorem by Grötzsch [2] asserts that every triangle-free planar graph is 3-colorable. On the other hand Voigt [10] found such a graph which is not 3-choosable. We prove that if a triangle-free planar graph is not 3-choosable, then it contains a 4-cycle that intersects another 4or 5-cyc...
متن کاملOn the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...
متن کاملEdge choosability of planar graphs without small cycles
We investigate structural properties of planar graphs without triangles or without 4-cycles, and show that every triangle-free planar graph G is edge-( (G) + 1)-choosable and that every planar graph with (G) = 5 and without 4-cycles is also edge-( (G) + 1)-choosable. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
