On list extensions of the majority edge colourings
Abstract
We investigate possible list extensions of generalised majority edge colourings of graphs and provide several results concerning these. Given a graph , a list assignment and some level of majority tolerance , an -majority -colouring of is a colouring from the given lists such that for every and each , the number of edges coloured which are incident with does not exceed . We present a simple argument implying that for every integer , each graph with minimum degree admits a -majority -colouring from any assignment of lists of size . This almost matches the best result in a non-list setting and solves a conjecture posed for the basic majority edge colourings, i.e. for , from lists. We further discuss restrictions which permit obtaining corresponding results in a more general setting, i.e. for diversified majority tolerances for distinct colours . Consider a list assignment with for each edge , and suppose that for every or for all edges , where , , are any given constants. Then we in particular show that there exists an -majority -colouring of from any such list assignment, provided that or , respectively. We also strengthen these bounds within a setting where each edge is associated to a list of colours with a fixed vector of majority tolerances, applicable also in a general non-list case.
