Abstract

We prove that chordal graphs are chromatic-choosable and present a decomposition theorem to help estimate the choice numbers for certain classes of chordless and non-chordal graphs.
Keywords: list coloring; chromatic-choosable; chordal; chordless; non-chordal list coloring; chromatic-choosable; chordal; chordless; non-chordal
