List recoloring of planar graphs

A list assignment $L$ of a graph $G$ is a function that assigns to every vertex $v$ of $G$ a set $L(v)$ of colors. A proper coloring $\alpha$ of $G$ is called an $L$-coloring of $G$ if $\alpha(v)\in L(v)$ for every $v\in V(G)$. For a list assignment $L$ of $G$, the $L$-recoloring graph $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ of $G$ is a graph whose vertices correspond to the $L$-colorings of $G$ and two vertices of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ are adjacent if their corresponding $L$-colorings differ at exactly one vertex of $G$. A $d$-face in a plane graph is a face of length $d$. Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Feghali conjectured for a planar graph $G$ and a list assignment $L$ of $G$, that: (i) If $|L(v)|\geq 10$ for every $v\in V(G)$, then the diameter of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ is $O(|V(G)|)$. (ii) If $G$ is triangle-free and $|L(v)|\geq 7$ for every $v\in V(G)$, then the diameter of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ is $O(|V(G)|)$. In a recent paper, Cranston (European J. Combin. (2022)) has proved (ii). In this paper, we prove the following results. Let $G$ be a plane graph and $L$ be a list assignment of $G$. $\bullet$ If for every $3$-face of $G$, there are at most two $3$-faces adjacent to it and $|L(v)|\geq 10$ for every $v\in V(G)$, then the diameter of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ is at most $190|V(G)|$. $\bullet$ If for every $3$-face of $G$, there is at most one $3$-face adjacent to it and $|L(v)|\geq 9$ for every $v\in V(G)$, then the diameter of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ is at most $13|V(G)|$. $\bullet$ If the faces adjacent to any $3$-face have length at least $6$ and $|L(v)|\geq 7$ for every $v\in V(G)$, then the diameter of $\mathcal{G}(G,L)$ is at most $242|V(G)|$. This result strengthens the Cranston's result on (ii).
