Choosability in bounded sequential list coloring
Abstract
The list coloring problem is a variation of the classical vertex coloring problem, extensively studied in recent years, where each vertex has a restricted list of allowed colors, and having some variations as the -coloring, where the color lists have sequential values with known lower and upper bounds. This work discusses the choosability property, that consists in determining the least number for which it has a proper list coloring no matter how one assigns a list of colors to each vertex. This is a -complete problem, however, we show that --choosability is an -problem due to its relation with the -coloring of a graph and application of methods of proof in choosability for some classes of graphs, such as complete bipartite graph, which is -choosable, but --choosable.
