Abstract: The list coloring problem of the signed graphs is investigated in this paper, which proves that the choosability of every signed graph without [K5]-minor or [K3,3]-minor is at most 5, and this upper bound cannot be lowered anymore. This generalizes a corresponding result of Jin, Kang and Steffen on signed planar graph, which is published in “European Journal of Combinatorics, 2016, 52:234-243”.

Key words: graph theory, signed graph, list vertex coloring, choosability, minor

摘要: 针对符号图的列表点染色问题,证明了任何不含[K5]-子式或[K3,3]-子式的符号图的选择数至多为5,并且此处的上界5是不可再降低的,从而推广了Jin、Kang与Steffen发表于“European Journal of Combinatorics,2016,52:234-243”的关于符号平面图的对应结论。
