Fix a graph $G$, a list-assignment $L$ for $G$, and $L$-colorings $\alpha$ and $\beta$. An $L$-recoloring sequence, starting from $\alpha$, recolors a single vertex at each step, so that each resulting intermediate coloring is a proper…

For a graph $G$ with a list assignment $L$ and two $L$-colorings $\alpha$ and $\beta$, an $L$-recoloring sequence from $\alpha$ to $\beta$ is a sequence of proper $L$-colorings where consecutive colorings differ at exactly one vertex. We…

A list assignment $L$ of a graph $G$ is a function that assigns to every vertex $v$ of $G$ a set $L(v)$ of colors. A proper coloring $\alpha$ of $G$ is called an $L$-coloring of $G$ if $\alpha(v)\in L(v)$ for every $v\in V(G)$. For a list…

Recoloring a graph is about finding a sequence of proper colorings of this graph from an initial coloring $\sigma$ to a target coloring $\eta$. Adding the constraint that each pair of consecutive colorings must differ on exactly one vertex,…

Given a proper (list) colouring of a graph $G$, a recolouring step changes the colour at a single vertex to another colour (in its list) that is currently unused on its neighbours, hence maintaining a proper colouring. Suppose that each…

We study the following question: Given are two $k$-colorings $\alpha$ and $\beta$ of a graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, and integer $\ell$. The question is whether $\alpha$ can be modified into $\beta$, by recoloring vertices one at a time, while…

A recolouring sequence, between $k$-colourings $\alpha$ and $\beta$ of a graph $G$, transforms $\alpha$ into $\beta$ by recolouring one vertex at a time, such that after each recolouring step we again have a proper $k$-colouring of $G$. The…

Given a graph $G$ and two graph homomorphisms $\alpha$ and $\beta$ from $G$ to a fixed graph $H$, the problem $H$-Recoloring asks whether there is a transformation from $\alpha$ to $\beta$ that changes the image of a single vertex at each…

The $k$-colouring reconfiguration problem asks whether, for a given graph $G$, two proper $k$-colourings $\alpha$ and $\beta$ of $G$, and a positive integer $\ell$, there exists a sequence of at most $\ell+1$ proper $k$-colourings of $G$…

Let $k \geq 1$ be an integer. The reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ of the $k$-colourings of a graph~$G$ has as vertex set the set of all possible $k$-colourings of $G$ and two colourings are adjacent if they differ on exactly one vertex. A…

The reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ for the $k$-colorings of a graph $G$ has as vertex set the set of all possible proper $k$-colorings of $G$ and two colorings are adjacent if they differ in the color of exactly one vertex. A result of…

For a list-assignment $L$, the reconfiguration graph $C_L(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are proper $L$-colorings of $G$ and whose edges link two colorings that differ on only one vertex. If $|L(v)| \ge d(v) + 2$ for every…

For a positive integer $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph of a graph $G$ has as vertex set all proper $k$-colourings of $G$ with two $k$-colourings being adjacent if they differ by the colour of exactly one vertex. A result of Dyer et al.…

A graph G is (a:b)-colorable if there exists an assignment of b-element subsets of {1,...,a} to vertices of G such that sets assigned to adjacent vertices are disjoint. We first show that for every triangle-free planar graph G and a vertex…

A sequence $\left(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_{2n}\right)$ of even length is a repetition if $\left(x_1,\ldots,x_n\right) = \left(x_{n+1},\ldots,x_{2n}\right)$. We prove existence of a constant $C < 10^{4 \cdot 10^7}$ such that given any planar…

The reconfiguration graph $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ for the $k$-colourings of a graph $G$ has a vertex for each proper $k$-colouring of $G$, and two vertices of $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ are adjacent precisely when those $k$-colourings differ on a single…

The reconfiguration graph $R_k(G)$ for the $k$-colorings of a graph $G$ has as vertices all possible $k$-colorings of $G$ and two colorings are adjacent if they differ in the color of exactly one vertex. We use a list coloring technique…

We show that there exists a constant $c > 0$ such that if $G$ is a planar graph with 5-correspondence assignment $(L,M)$, then $G$ has at least $2^{c\cdot v(G)}$ distinct $(L,M)$-colourings. This confirms a conjecture of Langhede and…

Thomassen showed that planar graphs are 5-list-colourable, and that planar graphs of girth at least five are 3-list-colourable. An easy degeneracy argument shows that planar graphs of girth at least four are 4-list-colourable. In 2022,…

Let $G$ be a plane graph with outer cycle $C$ and let $(L(v):v\in V(G))$ be a family of sets such that $|L(v)|\ge 5$ for every $v\in V(G)$. By an $L$-coloring of a subgraph $J$ of $G$ we mean a (proper) coloring $\phi$ of $J$ such that…
