The conjecture on acyclic 5-choosability of planar graphs [Borodin et al., 2002] as yet has been verified only for several restricted classes of graphs. None of these classes allows 4-cycles. We prove that a planar graph is acyclically 5-choosable if it does not contain an i-cycle adjacent to a j-cy

Abstract
Let G be a toroidal graph without cycles of a fixed length k, and Ο~l~(G) the list chromatic number of G. We establish tight upper bounds of Ο~l~(G) for the following values of k:

## Abstract A proper vertex coloring of a graph __G__β=β(__V,E__) is acyclic if __G__ contains no bicolored cycle. A graph __G__ is acyclically __L__βlist colorable if for a given list assignment __L__β=β{__L__(__v__): __v__:βββ__V__}, there exists a proper acyclic coloringβΟβof __G__ such that Ο(_
A graph G is called k-choosable if k is a number such that if we give lists of k colors to each vertex of G there is a vertex coloring of G where each vertex receives a color from its own list no matter what the lists are. In this paper, it is shown that each plane graph without 4-cycles is 4-choosa
## Abstract A proper vertex coloring of a graph __G__=(__V, E__) is acyclic if __G__ contains no bicolored cycle. A graph __G__ is acyclically __L__βlist colorable if for a given list assignment __L__={__L__(__v__)|__v__β__V__}, there exists a proper acyclic coloring Ο of __G__ such that Ο(__v__)β_
It is shown that there is a constant \(c\) such that if \(G\) is a graph embedded in a surface of genus \(g\) (either orientable or non-orientable) and the length of a shortest non-bounding cycle of \(G\) is at least \(c \log (g+1)\), then \(G\) is six-colorable. A similar result holds for three- an
Motivated by the work of NeΕ‘etΕil and R ΓΆdl on "Partitions of vertices" we are interested in obtaining some quantitative extensions of their result. In particular, given a natural number r and a graph G of order m with odd girth g, we show the existence of a graph H with odd girth at least g and ord
