Abstract

The Alon-Tarsi number of a graph GG is the smallest kk for which there is an orientation DD of GG with max outdegree k1k-1 such that the number of Eulerian subgraphs of GG with an even number of edges differs from the number of Eulerian subgraphs with an odd number of edges. In this paper, we obtain the Alon-Tarsi number of a Halin graph equals 4 when it is a wheel of even order and 3 otherwise.
