Smaller planar triangle-free graphs that are not 3-list-colorable
2005
Discrete Mathematics
In 1995, Voigt constructed a planar triangle-free graph that is not 3-list-colorable. It has 166 vertices. Gutner then constructed such a graph with 164 vertices. ...
The first graph has 97 vertices and a failing list assignment using triples from a set of six colors, while the second has 109 vertices and a failing list assignment using triples from a set of five colors ...
Later, Gutner [4] found a graph with the same properties having 164 vertices. In this note, we construct yet smaller examples of planar triangle-free graphs that are not 3-list-colorable. ...

Edge Bounds and Degeneracy of Triangle-Free Penny Graphs and Squaregraphs
2018
Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications
We show that triangle-free penny graphs have degeneracy at most two, list coloring number (choosability) at most three, diameter $D=\Omega(\sqrt n)$, and at most $\min\bigl(2n-\Omega(\sqrt n),2n-D-2\bigr ...
However, not every triangle-free planar graph is 3-list-colorable: if each vertex is given a list of three colors, it is not always possible to assign each vertex a color from its list that differs from ...
Grötzsch proved that these graphs are 3-colorable [21, 22] and they can be 3-colored in linear time [23] . ...

[chapter]

Proceedings of the Twentieth Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
Grötzsch's theorem states that every triangle-free planar graph is 3-colorable, and several relatively simple proofs of this fact were provided by Thomassen and other authors. ...
We design a linear-time algorithm to find a 3-coloring of a given triangle-free planar graph. The algorithm avoids using any complex data structures, which makes it easy to implement. ...

List Multicoloring of Planar Graphs and Related Classes
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
For general planar graphs, we show that if a/b < 42/5, then there exists a planar graph that is not (a:b)-choosable, thus improving on a result of X. Zhu, which had 42/9. ...
We show that for positive integers a and b, every bipartite planar graph is (a:b)-choosable iff a/b≥ 3. ...
We may assume that H is K 3 ; otherwise choose a vertex that lies in a triangle containing H, color this vertex using colors in its list that are not used on either vertex of H, and add the new vertex ...

Exponentially Many 4-List-Colorings of Triangle-Free Graphs on Surfaces
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Thomassen proved that every planar graph G on n vertices has at least 2^n/9 distinct L-colorings if L is a 5-list-assignment for G and at least 2^n/10000 distinct L-colorings if L is a 3-list-assignment ...
We prove the same result if G is triangle-free and L is a 4-list-assignment of G, where ϵ=1/8, and α= 130. ...
Theorem 1.6 can not be extended to list-coloring, since there exist triangle-free planar graphs that are not 3-choosable. ...

New Linear-Time Algorithms for Edge-Coloring Planar Graphs
2007
Algorithmica
We show efficient algorithms for edge-coloring planar graphs. Our main result is a linear-time algorithm for coloring planar graphs with maximum degree Δ with max{Δ, 9} colors. ...
Thus the coloring is optimal for graphs with maximum degree Δ ≥ 9. Moreover for Δ = 4, 5, 6 we give linear-time algorithms that use Δ + 2 colors. ...
Vizing [8] showed that planar graphs with Δ ≥ 8 are in Class 1. He also noted that there are Class 2 planar graphs for Δ ∈ {2, 3, 4, 5}. ...

Correspondence coloring and its application to list-coloring planar graphs without cycles of lengths 4 to 8
[article]
2016
arXiv
pre-print
Using this tool, we prove that excluding cycles of lengths 4 to 8 is sufficient to guarantee 3-choosability of a planar graph, thus answering a question of Borodin. ...
We introduce a new variant of graph coloring called correspondence coloring which generalizes list coloring and allows for reductions previously only possible for ordinary coloring. ...
For example, while every planar triangle-free graph is 3colorable, there exist such graphs that are not 3-choosable [17] , and while every planar graph is 4-colorable, not all are 4-choosable [16] . ...

Many 3-colorings of triangle-free planar graphs

That result implies that the number of 3-colorings of a planar triangle-free graph with n vertices is at least n/6. ...
The 3-color matrix of G is the matrix whose rows are all these vectors. In [4] it was proved that the 3-color matrix of a planar graph has full column rank if and only if the graph is triangle-free. ...
Acknowledgment Thanks are due to one of the referees who corrected a number of inaccuracies in the proof. ...

Note on 3-Choosability of Planar Graphs with Maximum Degree 4
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Determining subclasses of planar graphs being 3-colorable has a long history, but since Grötzsch's result that triangle-free planar graphs are such, most of the effort was focused to solving Havel's and ...
Deciding whether a planar graph (even of maximum degree 4) is 3-colorable is NP-complete. ...
Therefore it is not surprising that an equivalent of Grötzsch's result does not hold in this setting; as shown by Voigt [27] , there are triangle-free planar graphs which are not 3-choosable. ...
