A Note on Partial List Colorings

Abstract

Let GG be a simple graph with nn vertices and list chromatic number χ(G)=χ\chi_\ell(G)=\chi_\ell. Suppose that 0tχ0\leq t\leq \chi_\ell and each vertex of GG is assigned a list of tt colors. Albertson, Grossman and Haas [1] conjectured that at least tnχ\frac{tn}{\chi_\ell} vertices of GG can be colored from these lists. In this paper we find some new results in partial list coloring which help us to show that the conjecture is true for at least half of the numbers of the set {1,2,...,χ(G)1}\{1,2,...,\chi_\ell(G)-1\}. In addition we introduce a new related conjecture and finally we present some results about this conjecture.
