A graph G is (k,d)-choosable if there exists an L-coloring of G for every (k,d)-list assignment L. This concept is also known as choosability with separation. It is known that planar graphs are (4,1)-choosable but it is not known if planar graphs are (3,1)-choosable. We strengthen the result that planar graphs are (4,1)-choosable by allowing an independent set of vertices to have lists of size 3 instead of 4.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-22T02:36:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C10", "05C15", "G.2.2" ], "keywords": [ "planar graphs", "choosability", "separation", "adjacent pair xy", "assignment" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.5283K" } } }
