We show that, for any graph or matroid, its ``arboricity'' and its ``list arboricity'' are equal. ## 1998 Academic Press A celebrated recent theorem of Galvin [2] asserts that for any bipartite graph, its chromatic index and its list-chromatic index are equal. This can be formulated as a property

## Abstract In this paper, we study the critical pointβarboricity graphs. We prove two lower bounds for the number of edges of __k__βcritical pointβarboricity graphs. A theorem of Kronk is extended by proving that the pointβarboricity of a graph __G__ embedded on a surface __S__ with Euler genus __
The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests that partition the edges of G. Akiyama, Exoo, and Harary conjectured for any simple graph G with maximum degree β. The conjecture has been proved to be true for graphs having β =
Bermond et al. [2] conjectured that the edge set of a cubic graph G can be partitioned into two k-linear forests, that is to say two forests whose connected components are paths of length at most k, for all k >/5. We shall prove a weaker result that the statement is valid for all k/> 18. All graphs
