Zusammenfassung: | Odd coloring is a proper coloring with an additional restriction that every
non-isolated vertex has some color that appears an odd number of times in its
neighborhood. The minimum number of colors $k$ that can ensure an odd coloring
of a graph $G$ is denoted by $\chi_o(G)$. We say $G$ is $k$-colorable if
$\chi_o(G)\le k$. This notion is introduced very recently by Petru\v{s}evski
and \v{S}krekovski, who proved that if $G$ is planar then $ \chi_{o}(G) \leq 9
$. A toroidal graph is a graph that can be embedded on a torus. Note that a
$K_7$ is a toroidal graph, $\chi_{o}(G)\leq7$. In this paper, we proved that,
every toroidal graph without $3$-cycles is odd $7$-colorable. Thus, every
planar graph without $3$-cycles is odd $7$-colorable holds as a corollary.
That's to say, every toroidal graph is $7$-colorable can be proved if the
remained cases around $3$-cycle is resolved. |
