DP-4-colorability of two classes of planar graphs

Abstract

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Postle (2017). In this paper, we prove that every planar graph GG without 44-cycles adjacent to kk-cycles is DP-44-colorable for k=5k=5 and 66. As a consequence, we obtain two new classes of 44-choosable planar graphs. We use identification of verticec in the proof, and actually prove stronger statements that every pre-coloring of some short cycles can be extended to the whole graph.
