Given a graph G, a total k-coloring of G is a simultaneous coloring of the vertices and edges of G with at most k colors. If β(G) is the maximum degree of G, then no graph has a total β-coloring, but Vizing conjectured that every graph has a total (β + 2)-coloring. This Total Coloring Conjecture rem

β¦ Synopsis
An L-list coloring of a graph G is a proper vertex coloring in which every vertex v gets a color from a list L(v) of allowed colors. G is called k-choosable if all lists L(v) have exactly k elements and if G is L-list colorable for all possible assignments of such lists. Verifying conjectures of ErdΕs, Rubin and Taylor it was shown during the last years that every planar graph is 5-choosable and that there are planar graphs which are not 4-choosable. The question whether there are 3-colorable planar graphs which are not 4-choosable remained unsolved. The smallest known example far a non-4-choosable planar graph has 75 vertices and is described by Gutner. In fact, this graph is also 3 colorable and answers the above question. In addition, we give a list assignment for this graph using 5 colors only in all of the lists together such that the graph is not List-colorable.

A well-known Tutte's theorem claims that every 3-connected planar graph has a convex embedding into the plane. Tutte's arguments also show that, moreover, for every nonseparating cycle C of a 3-connected graph G, there exists a convex embedding of G such that C is a boundary of the outer face in thi
