Degenerate colorings of planar graphs ★★★

Author(s): Borodin

A graph $ G $ is $ k $-degenerate if every subgraph of $ G $ has a vertex of degree $ \le k $.

Conjecture   Every simple planar graph has a 5-coloring so that for $ 1 \le k \le 4 $, the union of any $ k $ color classes induces a $ (k-1) $-degenerate graph.

The Two Color Conjecture ★★

Author(s): Neumann-Lara

Conjecture   If $ G $ is an orientation of a simple planar graph, then there is a partition of $ V(G) $ into $ \{X_1,X_2\} $ so that the graph induced by $ X_i $ is acyclic for $ i=1,2 $.

Keywords: acyclic; digraph; planar
