Abstract

A list-assignment L to the vertices of G is an assignment of a set L(v) of colors to vertex v for every v@?V(G). An (L,d)^*-coloring is a mapping @f that assigns a color @f(v)@?L(v) to each vertex v@?V(G) such that at most d neighbors of v receive color @f(v). A graph is called (k,d)^*-choosable, if G admits an (L,d)^*-coloring for every list assignment L with |L(v)|=k for all v@?V(G). In this note, it is proved that every plane graph, which contains no 4-cycles and l-cycles for some l@?{8,9}, is (3,1)^*-choosable.
