## Abstract The __square__ __G__^2^ of a graph __G__ is the graph with the same vertex set __G__ and with two vertices adjacent if their distance in __G__ is at most 2. Thomassen showed that every planar graph __G__ with maximum degree ฮ(__G__)โ=โ3 satisfies ฯ(__G__^2^)โโคโ7. Kostochka and Woodall c
The following question was raised by Bruce Richter. Let G be a planar, 3-connected graph that is not a complete graph. Denoting by d(v) the degree of vertex v, is G L-list colorable for every list assignment L with |L(v)|=min{d(v), 6} for all v โ V (G)? More generally, we ask for which pairs (r, k)
We introduce the closed-neighborhood intersection multigraph as a useful multigraph version of the square of a graph. We characterize those multigraphs which are squares of chordal graphs and include an algorithm to go from the squared chordal graph back to its (unique!) square root. This becomes pa
