Abstract

Odd coloring is a proper coloring with an additional restriction that every non-isolated vertex has some color that appears an odd number of times in its neighborhood. The minimum number of colors kk that can ensure an odd coloring of a graph GG is denoted by χo(G)\chi_o(G). We say GG is odd kk-colorable if χo(G)k\chi_o(G)\le k. This notion is introduced very recently by Petru\v{s}evski and \v{S}krekovski, who proved that if GG is planar then χo(G)9 \chi_{o}(G) \leq 9 . A toroidal graph is a graph that can be embedded on a torus. Note that a K7K_7 is a toroidal graph, χo(G)7\chi_{o}(G)\leq7. Tian and Yin proved that every toroidal graph is odd 99-colorable and every toroidal graph without 33-cycles is odd 99-colorable. In this paper, we proved that every toroidal graph without adjacent 33-cycles is odd 88-colorable.
