β¦ Synopsis
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-choosable.

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
It is shown that every simple graph with maximal degree 4 is 5-edgechoosable.
## Abstract It is known that not all planar graphs are 4βchoosable; neither all of them are vertex 2βarborable. However, planar graphs without 4βcycles and even those without 4βcycles adjacent to 3βcycles are known to be 4βchoosable. We extend this last result in terms of covering the vertices of a
