Choosability conjectures and multicircuits

From MaRDI portal





For a graph \(G\), let \(\chi(G)\), \(\chi'(G)\) and \(\chi(G)\) respectively be the ordinary vertex, edge and total chromatic number. Let \(\text{ch}(G)\), \(\text{ch}'(G)\) and \(ch(G)\) be the list (vertex), list (edge) and list total chromatic number of a graph \(G\). Several old and new conjectures about choosability in graphs are discussed. Some of them are the following conjectures. The list-edge-colouring conjecture (LECC): For every multigraph \(G\), \(\text{ch}'(G)=\chi'(G)\). The list-total-colouring conjecture (LTCC): For every multigraph \(G\), \(\text{ch}(G)=\chi(G)\). The list-square-colouring conjecture (LSCC): For every graph \(G\), \(\text{ch}(G^2)=\chi(G^2)\), where \(G^2\) is the square of \(G\). In this paper LSCC and LTCC are verified for some classes of graphs which bring the authors to new conjectures.
