摘要
Grotzsch proved that every planar triangle-free graph is 3-colorable. We prove that it has at least 2(n1/2)/20000 distinct 3-colorings where n is the number of vertices. If the graph has girth at least 5, then it has at least 2(n/10000) distinct list-colorings provided every vertex has at least three available colors. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
