By a theorem of Johansson, every triangle-free graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ has chromatic number at most $(C+o(1))\Delta/\log \Delta$ for some universal constant $C > 0$. Using the entropy compression method, Molloy proved that one…

We show that any triangle-free graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ has chromatic number at most $\left(1+o(1)\right)\Delta/\log \Delta.$

We prove two distinct and natural refinements of a recent breakthrough result of Molloy (and a follow-up work of Bernshteyn) on the (list) chromatic number of triangle-free graphs. In both our results, we permit the amount of colour made…

While solving a question on list coloring of planar graphs, Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle introduced the new notion of DP-coloring (they called it correspondence coloring). A DP-coloring of a graph $G$ reduces the problem of finding a coloring…

A celebrated result of Johansson in graph theory states that every triangle-free graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be properly colored with $O(\Delta/\ln\Delta)$ colors, improving upon the "greedy bound" of $\Delta+1$ coloring in general…

A conjecture of Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov states that, for any graph $F$, there is a constant $c_F > 0$ such that if $G$ is an $F$-free graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, then $\chi(G) \leq c_F \Delta / \log\Delta$. Alon, Krivelevich,…

We propose a new proof technique that aims to be applied to the same problems as the Lov\'asz Local Lemma or the entropy-compression method. We present this approach in the context of non-repetitive colorings and we use it to improve…

We show that Bernshteyn's proof of the breakthrough result of Molloy that triangle-free graphs are choosable from lists of size $(1+o(1))\Delta/\log\Delta$ can be adapted to yield a stronger result. In particular one may prove that such…

DP-coloring is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Postle. We prove that for every $n$-vertex graph $G$ whose chromatic number $\chi(G)$ is "close" to $n$, the DP-chromatic number of $G$ equals…

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a well-studied generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. The following sharp bound on the DP-chromatic number of the Cartesian product of graphs $G$…

We give a short proof of a bound on the list chromatic number of graphs $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ where each neighbourhood has density at most $d$, namely $\chi_\ell(G) \le (1+o(1)) \frac{\Delta}{\ln \frac{\Delta}{d+1}}$ as…

Alon proved that for any graph $G$, $\chi_\ell(G) = \Omega(\ln d)$, where $\chi_\ell(G)$ is the list chromatic number of $G$ and $d$ is the average degree of $G$. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle recently introduced a generalization of list…

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. Motivated by results related to list coloring Cartesian products of graphs, we initiate the study of the…

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring recently introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. Several known bounds for the list chromatic number of a graph $G$, $\chi_\ell(G)$, also hold for the…

DP-coloring is a relatively new coloring concept by Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Postle and was introduced as an extension of list-colorings of (undirected) graphs. It transforms the problem of finding a list-coloring of a given graph $G$ with a…

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring developed recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. In this paper we introduce and study the fractional DP-chromatic number $\chi_{DP}^\ast(G)$. We…

Correspondence coloring, or DP-coloring, is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. In this paper we establish a version of Dirac's theorem on the minimum number of edges in critical graphs in the…

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. In 2019, Bernshteyn, Kostochka, and Zhu introduced a fractional version of DP-coloring. They showed that…

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. Many known upper bounds for the list-chromatic number extend to the DP-chromatic number, but not all…

The Lov\'asz Local Lemma is a powerful probabilistic technique for proving the existence of combinatorial objects. It is especially useful for colouring graphs and hypergraphs with bounded maximum degree. This paper presents a general…
