次三次图平方的列表染色

List-coloring the Square of a Subcubic Graph

Daniel W. Cranston, Seog-Jin Kim

摘要:

图$G$的{ \em平方} $G^2$是具有与$G$相同的顶点集并且两个顶点相邻的图,如果它们在$G$中的距离至多为2。证明了具有最大度$Δ(G)=3$的平面图$G$满足$χ(G^2)\leq 7$ . Kostochka和Woodall证明了对任何图,$G^2$的列表色数等于$G^2$的色数,即对所有的$G$都是$χ_l(G^2)=χ(G^2)$.如果这个猜想成立,则这个猜想(连同Kassen的结果)意味着每个具有$Δ(G)=3$的平面图$G$满足$χ_l(G^2)\leq 7$。我们证明了每个连通图(不一定是平面的)与$Δ(G)=3$以外的彼得森图满足$χ_l(G^2)\leq 8$(这是最好的可能)。另外,我们证明了如果$G$是一个具有$Δ(G)=3$和围长$g(G)\geq 7$的平面图,那么$χ_l(G^2)\leq 7$ . Dvoák、Škrekovski和Tancer证明了,如果$G$是一个平面图,其周长为$Δ(G) = 3$和$g(G) \geq 10$,则有$χ_l(G^2)\leq 6$。我们改进了围长界,证明了如果$G$是一个平面图,且$Δ(G)=3$和$g(G) \geq 9$都有,则$χ_l(G^2) \leq 6$ .我们所有的证明可以很容易地转化为线性时间着色算法。

英文摘要:

The {\em square} $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph with the same vertex set as $G$ and with two vertices adjacent if their distance in $G$ is at most 2. Thomassen showed that every planar graph $G$ with maximum degree $Δ(G)=3$ satisfies $χ(G^2)\leq 7$. Kostochka and Woodall conjectured that for every graph, the list-chromatic number of $G^2$ equals the chromatic number of $G^2$, that is $χ_l(G^2)=χ(G^2)$ for all $G$. If true, this conjecture (together with Thomassen's result) implies that every planar graph $G$ with $Δ(G)=3$ satisfies $χ_l(G^2)\leq 7$. We prove that every connected graph (not necessarily planar) with $Δ(G)=3$ other than the Petersen graph satisfies $χ_l(G^2)\leq 8$ (and this is best possible). In addition, we show that if $G$ is a planar graph with $Δ(G)=3$ and girth $g(G)\geq 7$, then $χ_l(G^2)\leq 7$. Dvořák, Škrekovski, and Tancer showed that if $G$ is a planar graph with $Δ(G) = 3$ and girth $g(G) \geq 10$, then $χ_l(G^2)\leq 6$. We improve the girth bound to show that if $G$ is a planar graph with $Δ(G)=3$ and $g(G) \geq 9$, then $χ_l(G^2) \leq 6$. All of our proofs can be easily translated into linear-time coloring algorithms.
