Abstract

The \textit{rr-dynamic choosability} of a graph GG, written chr(G){\rm ch}_r(G), is the least kk such that whenever each vertex is assigned a list of at least kk colors a proper coloring can be chosen from the lists so that every vertex vv has at least min{dG(v),r}\min\{d_G(v),r\} neighbors of distinct colors. Let ch(G){\rm ch}(G) denote the choice number of GG. In this paper, we prove chr(G)(1+o(1))ch(G){\rm ch}_r(G)\leq (1+o(1)){\rm ch}(G) when Δ(G)δ(G)\frac{\Delta(G)}{\delta(G)} is bounded. We also show that there exists a constant CC such that for the random graph G=G(n,p)G=G(n,p) with 2n<p12\frac{2}{n}<p\leq \frac{1}{2}, it holds that ch2(G)ch(G)+C{\rm ch}_2(G)\leq {\rm ch}(G) + C, asymptotically almost surely. Also if GG is triangle-free regualr graph, then ch2(G)ch(G)+86{\rm ch}_2(G)\leq {\rm ch}(G)+86 holds.
