DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvořák and Postle (2017). In this paper, we prove that every planar graph G without 4-cycles adjacent to k-cycles is DP-4-colorable for k = 5 and 6. As a consequence, we obtain two new classes of 4-choosable planar graphs. We use identification of verticec in the proof, and actually prove stronger statements that every pre-coloring of some short cycles can be extended to the whole graph.Recently, Dvorák and Postle [2] introduced DP -coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) as a generalization of list coloring.Definition 1.1. Let G be a simple graph with n vertices and let L be a list assignment for V (G). For each edge uv in G, let M uv be a matching between the sets L(u) and L(v) and let M L = {M uv : uv ∈ E(G)}, called the matching assignment. Let H L be the graph that satisfies the following conditions
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
