Planar graphs without cycles of lengths 4 and 5 and close triangles are DP-3-colorable
Abstract
Montassier, Raspaud, and Wang (2006) asked to find the smallest positive integers and such that planar graphs without -cycles and are -choosable and planar graphs without -cycles and are -choosable, where is the smallest distance between triangles. They showed that and . In this paper, we show that the following planar graphs are DP-3-colorable: (1) planar graphs without -cycles and are DP--colorable, and (2) planar graphs without -cycles and are DP--colorable. DP-coloring is a generalization of list-coloring, thus as a corollary, and . We actually prove stronger statements that each pre-coloring on some cycles can be extended to the whole graph.
