Linear coloring of planar graphs with large girth

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is linear if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is the union of vertex-disjoint paths. The linear chromatic number of the graph G is the smallest number of colors in a linear coloring of G. In this paper we prove that every planar graph G with girth g and maximum degree Δ has if G satisfies one of the following four conditions: (1) g≥13 and Δ≥3; (2) g≥11 and Δ≥5; (3) g≥9 and Δ≥7; (4) g≥7 and Δ≥13. Moreover, we give better upper bounds of linear chromatic number for planar graphs with girth 5 or 6.

An oriented coloring of planar graphs with girth at least five

An oriented k-coloring of an oriented graph G is a homomorphism from G to an oriented graph H of order k. We prove that every oriented graph with a maximum average degree less than and girth at least 5 has an oriented chromatic number at most 16. This implies that every oriented planar graph with girth at least 5 has an oriented chromatic number at most 16, that improves the previous known bound of 19 due to Borodin et al. [O.V. Borodin, A.V. Kostochka, J. Nešet?il, A. Raspaud, É. Sopena, On the maximum average degree and the oriented chromatic number of a graph, Discrete Math. 206 (1999) 77-89].     

Linear choosability of sparse graphs

A linear coloring is a proper coloring such that each pair of color classes induces a union of disjoint paths. We study the linear list chromatic number, denoted , of sparse graphs. The maximum average degree of a graph G, denoted mad(G), is the maximum of the average degrees of all subgraphs of G. It is clear that any graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) satisfies . In this paper, we prove the following results: (1) if and Δ(G)≥3, then , and we give an infinite family of examples to show that this result is best possible; (2) if and Δ(G)≥9, then , and we give an infinite family of examples to show that the bound on cannot be increased in general; (3) if G is planar and has girth at least 5, then .     

Upper bounds on the linear chromatic number of a graph

In this paper we prove the following results: (1) ; (2) if Δ(G)≤4; (3) if Δ(G)≤5; (4) if G is planar and Δ(G)≥52.

Planar graphs with maximum degree 8 and without adjacent triangles are 9-totally-colorable

The Total Coloring Conjecture, in short, TCC, says that every simple graph is (Δ+2)-totally-colorable where Δ is the maximum degree of the graph. Even for planar graphs this conjecture has not been completely settled yet. However, every planar graph with Δ≥9 has been proved to be (Δ+1)-totally-colorable. In this paper, we prove that planar graphs with maximum degree 8 and without adjacent triangles are 9-totally-colorable.     

Total Colorings of Planar Graphs without Small Cycles

On the 7 Total Colorability of Planar Graphs with Maximum Degree 6 and without 4-cycles

Vizing and Behzad independently conjectured that every graph is (Δ + 2)-totally-colorable, where Δ denotes the maximum degree of G. This conjecture has not been settled yet even for planar graphs. The only open case is Δ = 6. It is known that planar graphs with Δ ≥ 9 are (Δ + 1)-totally-colorable. We conjecture that planar graphs with 4 ≤ Δ ≤ 8 are also (Δ + 1)-totally-colorable. In addition to some known results supporting this conjecture, we prove that planar graphs with Δ = 6 and without 4-cycles are 7-totally-colorable.
