We show that the choice number of a graph G is equal to its chromatic number when G belongs to a restricted class of claw-free graphs, in view of the conjecture that this is true for every claw-free graph. We consider only finite, undirected graphs, without loops. Given a graph G = ( V, E), a k-col

A graph G is k-choosable if it admits a vertex-coloring whenever the colors allowed at each vertex are restricted to a list of length k. If Ο denotes the usual chromatic number of G, we are interested in which kind of G is Ο-choosable. This question contains a famous conjecture, which states that ev
We prove that every 3-chromatic claw-free perfect graph is 3-choosable.
## Abstract We calculate the asymptotic value of the choice number of complete multiβpartite graphs, given certain limitations on the relation between the sizes of the different sides. In the bipartite case, we prove that if __n__~0~ β€ __n__~1~ and log__n__~0~ β« loglog__n__~1~, then $ch(K\_{n\_{0},
The choice number ch G of a graph G = V E is the minimum number k such that for every assignment of a list S v of at least k colors to each vertex v β V , there is a proper vertex coloring of G assigning to each vertex v a color from its list S v . We prove that if the minimum degree of G is d, then
