Abstract

We show that every planar graph G = (V, E) is 1-relaxed, 4-choosable. This means that, for every list assignment L that assigns a set of at least four colors to each vertex, there exists a coloring f such that f (v) ∈ L (v) for every vertex v ∈ V and each color class f- 1 (α) of f induces a subgraph with maximum degree at most 1.
