The reconfiguration graph for the -colorings of a graph has as vertices all possible -colorings of and two colorings are adjacent if they differ in the color of exactly one vertex. A result of Bousquet and Perarnau (2016) regarding graphs of bounded degeneracy implies that for a planar graph with vertices, has diameter at most , and if is triangle-free, then has diameter at most . We use a list coloring technique inspired by results of Thomassen to improve on the number of colors, showing that for a planar graph with vertices, has diameter at most , and if is triangle-free, then has diameter at most .

平面图重着色的Thomassen型方法
重新配置图 为了 图的颜色 具有所有可能的顶点 的颜色 如果两种颜色的恰好一个顶点的颜色不同,则它们是相邻的。Bousquet和Perarnau(2016)关于有限退化图的结果表明,对于平面图 和 顶点 直径最大 , 而如果 没有三角形,那么 直径最大 。我们根据托马森(Thomassen)的结果启发使用列表着色技术来改进颜色数量,从而显示出平面图 和 顶点 直径最大 , 而如果 没有三角形,那么 直径最大 。
