Edge-choosability of Planar Graphs
According to the List Colouring Conjecture, if G is a multigraph then χ' (G)=χl' (G) . In this thesis, we discuss a relaxed version of this conjecture that every simple graph G is edge-(∆ + 1)-choosable as by Vizing’s Theorem ∆(G) ≤χ' (G)≤∆(G) + 1. We prove that if G is a planar graph without …

Acyclic 5-Choosability of Planar Graphs Without Adjacent Short Cycles
The conjecture claiming that every planar graph is acyclic 5-choosable[Borodin et al., 2002] has been verified for several restricted classes of planargraphs. Recently, O. V. Borodin and A. O. Ivanova, [Journal of Graph Theory,68(2), October 2011, 169-176], have shown that a planar graph is …

Coloring problems in graph theory
… a new variation to list coloring which we call choosability with union separation: For a graph G, a list assignment L to the vertices of G is a (k,k+t)-list assignment if every vertex is assigned a list of size at least k and the union of the lists of each pair of adjacent vertices is at least …

Small cycle cover, group coloring with related problems
… of graphs.;The concept of list coloring, choosability and choice number was introduced by Erdos, Rubin and Taylor in 1979 and Vizing in 1976. Alon and Tarsi proved that every bipartite planar graph is 3-choosable. Thomassen showed that every planar graph is 5-choosable and that every …

Extremal problems on variations of graph colorings
… for a question by \v Skrekovski regarding choosability with separation for planar graphs, and we completely answer a question by Raspaud and Wang regarding vertex arboricity for toroidal graphs. We also improve results regarding improper coloring of planar graphs, responding to a question …

Extremal problems on counting combinatorial structures
The fast developing field of extremal combinatorics provides a diverse spectrum of powerful tools with many applications to economics, computer science, and optimization theory. In this thesis, we focus on counting and coloring problems in this field. The complete balanced bipartite graph on $n$ …
