Relaxed DP-3-coloring of planar graphs without some cycles (2111.13829v3)

Abstract: Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle introduced the concept of DP-coloring to overcome some difficulties in list coloring. Sittitrai and Nakprasit combined DP-coloring and defective list coloring to define a new coloring -- relaxed DP-coloring. For relaxed DP-coloring, Sribunhung et al. proved that planar graphs without 4- and 7-cycles are DP-(0, 2, 2)-colorable. Li et al. proved that planar graphs without 4, 8-cycles or 4, 9-cycles are DP-(1, 1, 1)-colorable. Lu and Zhu proved that planar graphs without 4, 5-cycles, or 4, 6-cycles, or 4, 7-cycles are DP-(1, 1, 1)-colorable. In this paper, we show that planar graphs without 4, 6-cycles or 4, 8-cycles are DP-(0, 2, 2)-colorable.
