Acyclic Total Colorings of Planar Graphs without l Cycles

A proper total coloring of a graph G such that there are at least 4 colors on those vertices and edges incident with a cycle of G, is called acyclic total coloring. The acyclic total chromatic number of G is the least number of colors in an acyclic total coloring of G. In this paper, it is proved th...

Summary:A proper total coloring of a graph G such that there are at least 4 colors on those vertices and edges incident with a cycle of G, is called acyclic total coloring. The acyclic total chromatic number of G is the least number of colors in an acyclic total coloring of G. In this paper, it is proved that the acyclic total chromatic number of a planar graph G of maximum degree at least k and without 1 cycles is at most △(G) + 2 if (k, l) ∈ {(6, 3), (7, 4), (6, 5), (7, 6)}.
