Oriented Coloring of Triangle-Free Planar Graphs and 2-Outerplanar Graphs

Pascal Ochem

Résumé

A graph is planar if it can be embedded on the plane without edge-crossings. A graph is 2-outerplanar if it has a planar embedding such that the subgraph obtained by removing the vertices of the external face is outerplanar (i.e. with all its vertices on the external face). An oriented k-coloring of an oriented graph G is a homomorphism from G to an oriented graph H of order k. We prove that every oriented triangle-free planar graph has an oriented chromatic number at most 40, that improves the previous known bound of 47 [Borodin, O. V. and Ivanova, A. O., An oriented colouring of planar graphs with girth at least 4, Sib. Electron. Math. Reports, vol. 2, 239-249, 2005]. We also prove that every oriented 2-outerplanar graph has an oriented chromatic number at most 40, that improves the previous known bound of 67 [Esperet, L. and Ochem, P. Oriented colouring of 2-outerplanar graphs, Inform. Process. Lett., vol. 101(5), 215-219, 2005].
