摘要
We show that the game chromatic number of a planar graph is at most 33. More generally, there exists a function f: N --> N so that for each n is-an-element-of N, if a graph does not contain a homeomorph of K(n), then its game chromatic number is at most f(n). In particular, the game chromatic number of a graph is bounded in terms of its genus. Our proof is motivated by the concept of p-arrangeability, which was first introduced by Guantao and Schelp in a Ramsey theoretic setting. (C) 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
