Circular choosability
International audienceWe study circular choosability, a notion recently introduced by Mohar and by Zhu. First, we provide a negative answer to a question of Zhu about circular cliques. We next prove that cch(G) = O(ch(G) + ln |V(G)|) for every graph G. We investigate a generalisation of circular choosability, the circular f-choosability, where f is a function of the degrees. We also consider the circular choice number of planar graphs. Mohar asked for the value of τ := sup {cch(G) : G is planar}, and we prove that 68, thereby providing a negative answer to another question of Mohar. We also study the circular choice number of planar and outerplanar graphs with prescribed girth, and graphs with bounded density
On edge-group choosability of graphs
In this paper, we study the concept of edge-group choosability of graphs. We
say that G is edge k-group choosable if its line graph is k-group choosable. An
edge-group choosability version of Vizing conjecture is given. The evidence of
our claim are graphs with maximum degree less than 4, planar graphs with
maximum degree at least 11, planar graphs without small cycles, outerplanar
graphs and near-outerplanar graphs
Coloring, List Coloring, and Painting Squares of Graphs (and other related problems)
We survey work on coloring, list coloring, and painting squares of graphs; in
particular, we consider strong edge-coloring. We focus primarily on planar
graphs and other sparse classes of graphs.Comment: 32 pages, 13 figures and tables, plus 195-entry bibliography,
