We use $P_t$ to denote the path with $t$ vertices and $K_{1,s}$ to denote the complete bipartite graph with parts of size $1$ and $s$ respectively. The one-subdivision of $K_{1,s}$ is obtained by replacing every edge $\\{u,v\\}$ of $K_{1,s}$ by two edges $\\{u,w\\}$ and $\\{v,w\\}$ with a new vertex $w$. In this paper, we give a polynomial-time algorithm for the list-three-coloring problem restricted to the class of $P_t$-free graph with no induced 1-subdivision of $K_{1,s}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-04T16:56:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "free graph", "complete bipartite graph", "polynomial-time algorithm", "positive integers", "one-subdivision" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
