Choosability with Separation in Complete Multipartite Graphs

Combinatorics 2014-03-24 v2

Abstract

We show that there is a constant kk such that when r2r \geq 2 and mrkm \geq r^k, the complete rr-partite graph KmrK_{m*r} has a non-colorable list assignment LL such that L(v)7750rlnm|L(v)| \geq \frac{7}{750}r\ln m for all vv and such that L(u)L(v)2rr1|L(u) \cap L(v)| \leq \left\lfloor \frac{2r}{r-1} \right\rfloor whenever uvu \neq v. This roughly extends a result of Alon to the context of "choosability with separation", introduced by Kratochv\'il, Tuza, and Voigt.
