Abstract
Pilsniak and Woźniak put forward the concept of neighbor sum distinguishing (NSD) total coloring and conjectured that any graph with maximum degree Δ admits an NSD total (Δ + 3)-coloring in 2015. In 2016, Qu et al. showed that the list version of the conjecture holds for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 13. In this paper, we prove that any planar graph with Δ Δ 7 but without 6-cycles satisfies the list version of the conjecture.
