Every planar graph is $1$-defective $(9,2)$-paintable
Abstract
Assume is a -list assignment of a graph . A -defective -fold -colouring of assigns to each vertex a set of colours, so that for each vertex , and for each colour , the set induces a subgraph of maximum degree at most . In this paper, we consider on-line list -defective -fold colouring of graphs, where the list assignment is given on-line, and the colouring is constructed on-line. To be precise, the -defective -painting game on a graph is played by two players: Lister and Painter. Initially, each vertex has tokens and is uncoloured. In each round, Lister chooses a set of vertices and removes one token from each chosen vertex. Painter colours a subset of which induces a subgraph of maximum degree at most . A vertex is fully coloured if has received colours. Lister wins if at the end of some round, there is a vertex with no more tokens left and is not fully coloured. Otherwise, at some round, all vertices are fully coloured and Painter wins. We say is -defective -paintable if Painter has a winning strategy in this game. This paper proves that every planar graph is -defective -paintable.
