摘要
We prove that every triangle-free graph with maximum degree A has list chromatic number at most (1 + o(1))Delta/ln Delta. This matches the best-known upper bound for graphs of girth at least 5. We also provide a new proof that for any r >= 4 every K-r-free graph has list-chromatic number at most 200r Delta ln ln Delta/ln Delta. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
