Sum List Coloring Block Graphs

چکیده

A graph is f -choosable if for every collection of lists with list sizes specified by f there is a proper coloring using colors from the lists. We characterize f -choosable functions for block graphs (graphs in which each block is a clique, including trees and line graphs of trees). The sum choice number is the minimum over all choosable functions f of the sum of the sizes in f . The sum choice number of any graph is at most the number of vertices plus the number of edges. We show that this bound is tight for block graphs.

Sum List Coloring 2*n Arrays

A graph is f -choosable if for every collection of lists with list sizes specified by f there is a proper coloring using colors from the lists. The sum choice number is the minimum over all choosable functions f of the sum of the sizes in f . We show that the sum choice number of a 2 × n array (equivalent to list edge coloring K2,n and to list vertex coloring the cartesian product K22Kn) is n2 ...

Sum list coloring, the sum choice number, and sc-greedy graphs

Let G = (V,E) be a graph and let f be a function that assigns list sizes to the vertices of G. It is said that G is f -choosable if for every assignment of lists of colors to the vertices of G for which the list sizes agree with f , there exists a proper coloring of G from the lists. The sum choice number is the minimum of the sum of list sizes for f over all choosable functions f for G. The su...

k-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree

A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...

Colorings and Orientations of Matrices and Graphs

We introduce colorings and orientations of matrices as generalizations of the graph theoretic terms. The permanent per(A[ζ|ξ]) of certain copies A[ζ|ξ] of a matrix A can be expressed as a weighted sum over the orientations or the colorings of A . When applied to incidence matrices of graphs these equations include Alon and Tarsi’s theorem about Eulerian orientations and the existence of list co...
