Definition A proper colouring of a graph is an assignment of ”colours” to the elements of the graph such that adjacent elements get different colours.

Definition (Chromatic number)

1

A proper k-colouring of G is a mapping f : V(G) → {1, 2, · · · , k} such that f(x) = f(y) whenever xy is an edge of G.

2

A graph G is said to be k-colourable if G has a proper k-colouring.

3

The chromatic number of G, denote by χ(G), is defined as χ(G) = min{k : G is k-colourable}.

4

A graph G is called a k-chromatic graph if χ(G) = k.

Four-Colour Theorem

Theorem (Appel and Haken 1976) Every planar graph is 4-colourable. Theorem (Gr¨

  • tzsch’s Theorem 1959)

Every triangle-free planar graph is 3-colourable. Theorem (Garey, Johnson and Stockmeyer 1976) Deciding a planar graph is 3-colourable is NP-complete. Conjecture (Steinberg’s Conjecture 1976) Every planar graph without 4- and 5-cycles is 3-colourable.

Theorem (Yang and Zhu) For a planar graph G, if any 3-cycles and 5-cycles are not adjacent to i-cycles whenever 3 ≤ i ≤ 7, and HG is a forest, then G is 3-colourable. Let Ω be the set of connected planar graphs satisfying the assumption of this theorem. Lemma (Extend-Lemma) Suppose G ∈ Ω and f0 is an i-face of G with 3 ≤ i ≤ 11. Then every proper 3-colouring of the vertices of f0 can be extended to the whole G.

Definition (Circular Chromatic Number) Suppose r ≥ 1 is a real number, and G = (V, E) is a graph.

1

A circular r-colouring of G is a mapping f : V → S(r) such that for each edge xy of G, we have |f(x) − f(y)|r ≥ 1.

2

We say G is circular r-colourable if G has a circular r-colouring.

3

The circular chromatic number is defined as χc(G) = inf{r : G is circular r-colourable}.

Definition (Circular Consecutive Choosability)

1

A graph G is called circular consecutive (t, r)-choosable if for any (t, r)-circular consecutive list assignment L, G has a circular L-colouring.

2

The circular consecutive choosability chr

cc(G) of G w.r.t r is

defined as chr

cc(G) = inf{t : G is circular consecutive (t, r)-choosable}.

3

The circular consecutive choosability of G is defined as chcc(G) = sup{chr

cc(G) : r ≥ χc(G)}.

Definition (Cartesian Product) Given two graphs G = (V, E) and G′ = (V ′, E′), the Cartesian product GG′ of G and G′ has vertex set V × V ′ = {(x, x′) : x ∈ V, x′ ∈ V ′}, and (x, x′) ∼ (y, y′) if either x = y and x′y′ ∈ E′ or xy ∈ E and x′ = y′

Definition (Acyclic Colouring) An acyclic t-colouring is a mapping f : V(G) → {1, 2, · · · , t} s.t. (1) : ∀i, f −1(i) is an independent set (2) : ∀i = i′, the subgraph induced by f −1(i) ∪ f −1(i′) is a forest G is acyclic t-colourable if G has an acyclic t-colouring. The acyclic chromatic number χa(G) of G is defined as χa(G) = min{t : G is acyclic t-colourable}

Theorem (Yang, Zhu) Let G be a graph with χa(G) ≤ t, and Tk be a k-tree. Then χadg(TkG) ≤ t(t + 2k) Corollary Let G be a graph with χa(G) ≤ t, and PTk be a partial k-tree. Then χadg(PTkG) ≤ t(t + 2k) Theorem (Yang, Zhu) Let G be a graph with χa(G) ≤ t, and P be a planar graph. Then χadg(PG) ≤ t(t + 10)
