Abstract

A graph GG is equitably kk-choosable if, for every kk-uniform list assignment LL, GG is LL-colorable and each color appears on at most V(G)/k\left\lceil |V(G)|/k\right\rceil vertices. Equitable list-coloring was introduced by Kostochka, Pelsmajer, and West in 2003. They conjectured that a connected graph GG with Δ(G)3\Delta(G)\geq 3 is equitably Δ(G)\Delta(G)-choosable, as long as GG is not complete or Kd,dK_{d,d} for odd dd. In this paper, we use a discharging argument to prove their conjecture for the infinite family of prism graphs.
