Channel Assignment and Improper Choosability of Graphs

چکیده
We model a problem proposed by Alcatel, a satellite building company, using improper colourings of graphs. The relation between improper colourings and maximum average degree is underlined, which contributes to generalise and improve previous known results about improper colourings of planar graphs.

Acyclic improper choosability of graphs
We consider improper colorings (sometimes called generalized, defective or relaxed colorings) in which every color class has a bounded degree. We propose a natural extension of improper colorings: acyclic improper choosability. We prove that subcubic graphs are acyclically (3,1)∗-choosable (i.e. they are acyclically 3-choosable with color classes of maximum degree one). Using a linear time algo...
متن کاملImproper choosability of graphs and maximum average degree
Improper choosability of planar graphs has been widely studied. In particular, Škrekovski investigated the smallest integer gk such that every planar graph of girth at least gk is k-improper 2-choosable. He proved [9] that 6 ≤ g1 ≤ 9; 5 ≤ g2 ≤ 7; 5 ≤ g3 ≤ 6 and ∀k ≥ 4, gk = 5. In this paper, we study the greatest real M(k, l) such that every graph of maximum average degree less than M(k, l) is ...
متن کاملStar and Biclique Coloring and Choosability
A biclique of a graph G is an induced complete bipartite graph. A star of G is a biclique contained in the closed neighborhood of a vertex. A star (biclique) k-coloring of G is a k-coloring of G that contains no monochromatic maximal stars (bicliques). Similarly, for a list assignment L of G, a star (biclique) L-coloring is an L-coloring of G in which no maximal star (biclique) is monochromatic...
متن کاملOn Choosability with Separation of Planar Graphs with Forbidden Cycles
We study choosability with separation which is a constrained version of list coloring of graphs. A (k, d)-list assignment L of a graph G is a function that assigns to each vertex v a list L(v) of at least k colors and for any adjacent pair xy, the lists L(x) and L(y) share at most d colors. A graph G is (k, d)-choosable if there exists an L-coloring of G for every (k, d)-list assignment L. This...
متن کاملLinear and 2-Frugal Choosability of Graphs of Small Maximum Average Degree
A proper vertex colouring of a graph G is 2-frugal (resp. linear) if the graph induced by the vertices of any two colour classes is of maximum degree 2 (resp. is a forest of paths). A graph G is 2-frugally (resp. linearly) L-colourable if for a given list assignment L : V (G) → 2, there exists a 2-frugal (resp. linear) colouring c of G such that c(v) ∈ L(v) for all v ∈ V (G). If G is 2-frugally...
