Critically paintable, choosable or colorable graphs
2012
Discrete Mathematics
Using a strong version of Brooks' Theorem, we generalize Gallai's Theorem about the structure of the low-degree subgraph of critically k-colorable graphs, and introduce a more adequate lowest-degree subgraph ...
We extend results about critically k-colorable graphs to choosability and paintability (list colorability and on-line list colorability). ...
Even Dirac's very basic construction of (k 1 + k 2 )-critical graphs G out of k 1 -critical and k 2 -critical graphs G 1 and G 2 , by just taking the complete join, does not work for choosability and paintability ...

Coloring Vertices and Faces of Locally Planar Graphs
2006
Graphs and Combinatorics
A graph G drawn on a surface S is said to be 1-embedded in S if every edge crosses at most one other edge. Borodin proved that if G is 1-embedded in the plane, then χ(G) ≤ 6. ...
Open Questions We summarize some open problems related to vertex-face colorings of embedded graphs.
Question 1. If G is planar, is ch vf (G) ≤ 6 (or 7)? ...
If G is embedded in S, then the natural construction of superimposing the dual of G onto the embedding of G and adding the vertexface incidences gives a 1-embedding of G vf in S. ...

Color-Critical Graphs and Hypergraphs with Few Edges: A Survey

Bolyai Society Mathematical Studies
The current situation with bounds on the smallest number of edges in colorcritical graphs and hypergraphs is discussed. ...
Coloring deals with the fundamental problem of partitioning a set of objects into classes that avoid certain conflicts. Many timetabling, sequencing, and scheduling problems are of this nature. ...
For k ≥ 6 and arbitrary g, this implies that the problem of testing k-colorability is solvable in polynomial time for graphs that embed on the orientable surface of genus g. ...
