| abstract: |
A proper vertex coloring of a non oriented graph
G=(V,E)
is linear if the graph induced by the
vertices of two color classes is a forest of paths. A graph
G
is
L
-list colorable if for a given list assignment
L={L(v): v∈V}
, there exists a proper coloring
c
of
G
such that
c(v)∈L(v)
for all
v∈V
. If
G
is
L
-list colorable for every list assignment with
|L(v)|≥k
for all
v∈V
, then
G
is said
k
-choosable. A graph is said to be lineary
k
-choosable if the coloring obtained is linear. In
this paper, we investigate the linear choosability of
graphs for some families of graphs: graphs with small
maximum degree, with given maximum average degree, planar
graphs... Moreover, we prove that determining whether a
bipartite subcubic planar graph is lineary 3-colorable is
an NP-complete problem.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
