We show that every planar graph without cycles of length 4 or 5 is (11:3)-colorable, a weakening of recently disproved Steinberg's conjecture. In particular, each such graph with n vertices has an independent set of size at least 3n/11.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-02-12T16:47:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15", "05C10", "G.2.2" ], "keywords": [ "planar graph", "b-element subsets", "disproved steinbergs conjecture", "independent set", "adjacent vertices" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
