A relaxation of the Bordeaux Conjecture (1407.5138v3)

Abstract: A $(c_1,c_2,...,c_k)$-coloring of $G$ is a mapping $\varphi:V(G)\mapsto{1,2,...,k}$ such that for every $i,1 \leq i \leq k$, $G[V_i]$ has maximum degree at most $c_i$, where $G[V_i]$ denotes the subgraph induced by the vertices colored $i$. Borodin and Raspaud conjecture that every planar graph without intersecting triangles and $5$-cycles is $3$-colorable. We prove in this paper that every planar graph without intersecting triangles and $5$-cycles is (2,0,0)-colorable.
