abstract

a proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. a graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $g$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. in this paper, we prove that the $k$-forested choosability of a graph with maximum degree $deltageq kgeq 4$ is at most $leftlceilfrac{delta}{k-1}rightrceil+1$, $leftlceilfrac{delta}{k-1}rightrceil+2$ or $leftlceilfrac{delta}{k-1}rightrceil+3$ if its maximum average degree is less than $frac{12}{5}$, $frac{8}{3}$ or $3$, respectively.

K-forested Choosability of Graphs with Bounded Maximum Average Degree

A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is k-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than k. A graph is k-forested qchoosable if for a given list of q colors associated with each vertex v, there exists a k-forested coloring of G such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prove that the k-fore...

Improper 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 ...

Acyclic Choosability of Graphs with Small Maximum Degree

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G = (V, E) is acyclic if G contains no bicolored cycle. A graph G is L-list colorable if for a given list assignment L = {L(v) : v ∈ V }, there exists a proper coloring c of G such that c(v) ∈ L(v) for all v ∈ V . If G is L-list colorable for every list assignment with |L(v)| ≥ k for all v ∈ V , then G is said k-choosable. A graph is said to be acyclically k-...

Linear 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...

Induced-Universal Graphs for Graphs with Bounded Maximum Degree

For a family F of graphs, a graph U is induced-universal for F if every graph in F is an induced subgraph of U . We give a construction for an induceduniversal graph for the family of graphs on n vertices with degree at most r, which has Cnb(r+1)/2c vertices and Dn2b(r+1)/2c−1 edges, where C and D are constants depending only on r. This construction is nearly optimal when r is even in that such...
