چکیده

We give a linear-time algorithm to decide 3-colorability (and find a 3coloring, if it exists) of quadrangulations of a fixed surface. The algorithm also allows to prescribe the coloring for a bounded number of vertices.

Three-coloring triangle-free graphs on surfaces VII. A linear-time algorithm

We give a linear-time algorithm to decide 3-colorability of a trianglefree graph embedded in a fixed surface, and a quadratic-time algorithm to output a 3-coloring in the affirmative case. The algorithms also allow to prescribe the coloring for a bounded number of vertices.

Coloring triangle - free graphs on surfaces . Extended

Gimbel and Thomassen asked whether 3-colorability of a triangle-free graph drawn on a fixed surface can be tested in polynomial time. We settle the question by giving a linear-time algorithm for every surface which combined with previous results gives a lineartime algorithm to compute the chromatic number of such graphs. Our algorithm is based on a structure theorem that for a triangle-free gra...

Complexity of the conditional colorability of graphs

For an integer r > 0, a conditional (k, r)-coloring of a graph G is a proper k-coloring of the vertices of G such that every vertex v of degree d(v) in G is adjacent to vertices with at least min{r, d(v)} different colors. The smallest integer k for which a graph G has a conditional (k, r)-coloring is called the rth order conditional chromatic number, denoted by χr(G). It is easy to see that th...

Fine structure of 4-critical triangle-free graphs III. General surfaces

Dvořák, Král’ and Thomas [4, 6] gave a description of the structure of triangle-free graphs on surfaces with respect to 3-coloring. Their description however contains two substructures (both related to graphs embedded in plane with two precolored cycles) whose coloring properties are not entirely determined. In this paper, we fill these gaps.

Complexity of Coloring Graphs without Paths and Cycles

Let Pt and C` denote a path on t vertices and a cycle on ` vertices, respectively. In this paper we study the k-coloring problem for (Pt, C`)-free graphs. Maffray and Morel, and Bruce, Hoang and Sawada, have proved that 3-colorability of P5-free graphs has a finite forbidden induced subgraphs characterization, while Hoang, Moore, Recoskie, Sawada, and Vatshelle have shown that k-colorability of...
