## 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__: Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 65: 1β15, 2010.
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
In this article we find necessary and sufficient conditions to decompose a complete equipartite graph into cycles of uniform length, in the case that the length is both even and short relative to the number of parts.
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
