A different short proof of Brooks' theorem

Landon Rabern

Published 2012-05-15, updated 2013-06-25Version 5

Lov\'asz gave a short proof of Brooks' theorem by coloring greedily in a good order. We give a different short proof by reducing to the cubic case. Then we show how to extend the result to (online) list coloring via the Kernel Lemma.

Comments: added cute Kernel Lemma trick to lift up to (online) list coloring
