Abstract

Let GG be an nn-vertex graph and let L:V(G)P({1,2,3})L:V(G)\rightarrow P(\{1,2,3\}) be a list assignment over the vertices of GG, where each vertex with list of size 3 and of degree at most 5 has at least three neighbors with lists of size 2. We can determine LL-choosability of GG in O(1.3196n3+.5n2)O(1.3196^{n_3+.5n_2}) time, where nin_i is the number of vertices in GG with list of size ii for i{2,3}i\in \{2,3\}. As a corollary, we conclude that the 3-colorability of any graph GG with minimum degree at least 6 can be determined in O(1.3196n.5Δ(G))O(1.3196^{n-.5\Delta(G)}) time.
