Colorings with neighborhood parity condition

Abstract: In this short paper, we introduce a new vertex coloring whose motivation comes from our series on odd edge-colorings of graphs. A proper vertex coloring varphi of graph G is said to be odd if for each non-isolated vertex xinV(G) there exists a color c such that varphi−1(c)capN(x) is odd-sized. We prove that every simple planar graph admits an odd 9-coloring, and conjecture that 5 colors always suffice.
