Let G be a 2-connected planar graph with maximum degree Δ such that G has no cycle of length from 4 to k, where k ≥ 4. Then the total chromatic number of G is Δ +1 if (Δ,k) ∈ {(7,4),(6,5),(5,7),(4,14)}.

The total generalised colourings considered in this paper are colourings of graphs such that the vertices and edges of the graph which receive the same colour induce subgraphs from two prescribed hereditary graph properties while incident elements receive different colours. The associated total chromatic number is the least number of colours with which this is possible. We study such colourings for sets of planar graphs and determine, in particular, upper bounds for these chromatic numbers...

In this paper, we study the existence of cycle double covers for infinite planar graphs. We show that every infinite locally finite bridgeless k-indivisible graph with a 2-basis admits a cycle double cover.

Let G be a planar graph with no two 3-cycles sharing an edge. We show that if Δ(G) ≥ 9, then χ'ₗ(G) = Δ(G) and χ''ₗ(G) = Δ(G)+1. We also show that if Δ(G) ≥ 6, then χ'ₗ(G) ≤ Δ(G)+1 and if Δ(G) ≥ 7, then χ''ₗ(G) ≤ Δ(G)+2. All of these results extend to graphs in the projective plane and when Δ(G) ≥ 7 the results also extend to graphs in the torus and Klein bottle. This second edge-choosability result improves on work of Wang and Lih and of Zhang and Wu. All of our results use the discharging...

Let G be a simple 4-regular plane graph and let S be a decomposition of G into edge-disjoint cycles. Suppose that every two adjacent edges on a face belong to different cycles of S. Such a graph G arises as a superposition of simple closed curves in the plane with tangencies disallowed. Studies of coloring of graphs of this kind were originated by Grötzsch. Two 4-chromatic graphs generated by circles in the plane were constructed by Koester in 1984 [10,11,12]. Until now, no other examples...

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r(Cₘ,Kₙ) is the smallest integer N such that every graph G of order N contains a cycle Cₘ on m vertices or has independence number α(G) ≥ n. It has been conjectured by Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp that r(Cₘ,Kₙ) = (m-1)(n-1)+1 for all m ≥ n ≥ 3 (except r(C₃,K₃) = 6). This conjecture holds for 3 ≤ n ≤ 6. In this paper we will present a proof for r(C₅,K₇) = 25.

The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of G. An and Wu introduce the notion of list linear arboricity lla(G) of a graph G and conjecture that lla(G) = la(G) for any graph G. We confirm that this conjecture is true for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 13, or for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 7 and without i-cycles for some i ∈ {3,4,5}. We also prove that ⌈½Δ(G)⌉ ≤ lla(G) ≤ ⌈½(Δ(G)+1)⌉ for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 9. ...

W. He et al. showed that a planar graph not containing 4-cycles can be decomposed into a forest and a graph with maximum degree at most 7. This degree restriction was improved to 6 by Borodin et al. We further lower this bound to 5 and show that it cannot be improved to 3.

A graph is edge cycle extendable if every cycle C that is formed from edges and one chord of a larger cycle C⁺ is also formed from edges and one chord of a cycle C' of length one greater than C with V(C') ⊆ V(C⁺). Edge cycle extendable graphs are characterized by every block being either chordal (every nontriangular cycle has a chord) or chordless (no nontriangular cycle has a chord); equivalently, every chord of a cycle of length five or more has a noncrossing chord.

Say that a cycle C almost contains a cycle C¯ if every edge except one of C¯ is an edge of C. Call a graph G strongly pancyclic if every nontriangular cycle C almost contains another cycle C¯ and every nonspanning cycle C is almost contained in another cycle C⁺. This is equivalent to requiring, in addition, that the sizes of C¯ and C⁺ differ by one from the size of C. Strongly pancyclic graphs are pancyclic and chordal, and their cycles enjoy certain interpolation and extrapolation properties...

The trivial lower bound for the 2-distance chromatic number χ₂(G) of any graph G with maximum degree Δ is Δ+1. It is known that χ₂ = Δ+1 if the girth g of G is at least 7 and Δ is large enough. There are graphs with arbitrarily large Δ and g ≤ 6 having χ₂(G) ≥ Δ+2. We prove the 2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with g ≥ 22.
