Suppose each vertex of G is assigned a list of t colors. Albertson, Grossman, and Haas conjecture that at least $t n / {\\chi_\\ell}$ vertices can be colored from these lists. We prove a lower bound for the number of colorable vertices. As a corollary, we show that at least 6/7 of the conjectured number can be colored.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-05-13T16:57:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05C15" ], "keywords": [ "partial list colorings", "lower bound", "n-vertex graph", "haas conjecture", "list-chromatic number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1998math......5066C" } } }
