Among other results, it is shown that 3-trees are $\Delta$-edge-choosable and that graphs of tree-width 3 and maximum degree at least 7 are $\Delta$-edge-choosable.
We prove that the list chromatic index of a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ and treewidth $\leq \sqrt{2\Delta} -3$ is $\Delta$; and that the total chromatic number of a graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ and treewidth $\leq \Delta/3 +1$ is…
Total coloring is a variant of edge coloring where both vertices and edges are to be colored. A graph is totally $k$-choosable if for any list assignment of $k$ colors to each vertex and each edge, we can extract a proper total coloring. In…
The \emph{total graph} $T(G)$ of a multigraph $G$ has as its vertices the set of edges and vertices of $G$ and has an edge between two vertices if their corresponding elements are either adjacent or incident in $G$. We show that if $G$ has…
A Halin graph is a graph obtained by embedding a tree having no nodes of degree two in the plane, and then adding a cycle to join the leaves of the tree in such a way that the resulting graph is planar. According to the four color theorem,…
We prove that every triangle-free graph of tree-width t has chromatic number at most ceil((t + 3)/2), and demonstrate that this bound is tight. The argument also establishes a connection between coloring graphs of tree-width t and on-line…
A star $k$-edge coloring is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic paths or cycles of length four. The smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ admits a star $k$-edge coloring is the star chromatic index of $G$. Deng \etal…
For planar graphs, we consider the problems of \emph{list edge coloring} and \emph{list total coloring}. Edge coloring is the problem of coloring the edges while ensuring that two edges that are adjacent receive different colors. Total…
In this article, we use a unified approach to prove several classes of planar graphs are DP-$3$-colorable, which extend the corresponding results on $3$-choosability.
In this paper, we aim to introduce the group version of edge coloring and list edge coloring, and prove that all 2-degenerate graphs along with some planar graphs without adjacent short cycles is group $(\Delta(G)+1)$-edge-choosable while…
Deciding whether a planar graph (even of maximum degree $4$) is $3$-colorable is NP-complete. Determining subclasses of planar graphs being $3$-colorable has a long history, but since Gr\"{o}tzsch's result that triangle-free planar graphs…
A proper total weighting of a graph $G$ is a mapping $\phi$ which assigns to each vertex and each edge of $G$ a real number as its weight so that for any edge $uv$ of $G$, $\sum_{e \in E(v)}\phi(e)+\phi(v) \ne \sum_{e \in…
For a planar graph $G$, Borodin stated that $G$ is $(\Delta+1)$-edge-choosable if $\Delta \geq9$ and later Bonamy showed that $G$ is $9$-edge-choosable if $\Delta=8$. At the same time, Borodin et al. proved that $G$ is…
A graph is (7, 2)-edge-choosable if, for every assignment of lists of size 7 to the edges, it is possible to choose two colors for each edge from its list so that no color is chosen for two incident edges. We show that every…
We consider the problem of list edge coloring for planar graphs. Edge coloring is the problem of coloring the edges while ensuring that two edges that are incident receive different colors. A graph is k-edge-choosable if for any assignment…
We initiate the study of total-coloring extensions, and focus our attention on planar graphs, asking: ``When can a total-$k$-coloring of some subgraph $H$ of a planar graph $G$ be extended to a total-$k$-coloring of $G$?'' We prove that if…
A total weighting of the vertices and edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the total weights of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted…
We say that an edge colouring breaks an automorphism if some edge is mapped to an edge of a different colour. We say that the colouring is distinguishing if it breaks every non-identity automorphism. We show that such colouring can be…
We prove a conjecture of Dvo\v{r}\'ak, Kr\'al, Nejedl\'y, and \v{S}krekovski that planar graphs of girth at least five are square $(\Delta+2)$-colorable for large enough $\Delta$. In fact, we prove the stronger statement that such graphs…
For an integer $\ell\geq 2$, let ${\cal{H}}_{\ell}$ denote the family of graphs which have girth $2\ell$ and have no even hole of length greater than $2\ell$. Wu, Xu and Xu conjectured that every graph in $\bigcup_{\ell\geq 2}…
