Abstract

As a generalization of list coloring, DP-coloring of graphs was introduced by Dvořák and Postle (2018). Recently, Bernshteyn and Kostochka introduced edge DP-coloring of graphs which is naturally corresponding to the DP-coloring of their line graphs. Let χ_DP^′(G) denote the edge DP-chromatic number of a graph G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a planar graph with maximum degree Δ and without cycles of length k, then (1) χ_DP^′(G)=Δ if either Δ≥7 and k=4 or Δ≥8 and k=3; (2) χ_DP^′(G)≤Δ+1 if Δ≥9.
