文摘

A total weighting of a graph G is a mapping \(\phi \) that assigns a weight to each vertex and each edge of G. The vertex-sum of \(v \in V(G)\) with respect to \(\phi \) is \(S_{\phi }(v)=\sum _{e\in E(v)}\phi (e)+\phi (v)\). A total weighting is proper if adjacent vertices have distinct vertex-sums. A graph \(G=(V,E)\) is called \((k,k')\)-choosable if the following is true: If each vertex x is assigned a set L(x) of k real numbers, and each edge e is assigned a set L(e) of \(k'\) real numbers, then there is a proper total weighting \(\phi \) with \(\phi (y)\in L(y)\) for any \(y \in V \cup E\). In this paper, we prove that for any graph \(G\ne K_1\), the Mycielski graph of G is (1,4)-choosable. Moreover, we give some sufficient conditions for the Mycielski graph of G to be (1,3)-choosable. In particular, our result implies that if G is a complete bipartite graph, a complete graph, a tree, a subcubic graph, a fan, a wheel, a Halin graph, or a grid, then the Mycielski graph of G is (1,3)-choosable.
