Abstract:
A vertex coloring of a graph G is called injective if every two vertices joined by a path of length 2 get different colors. The minimum number χi(G) of the colors required for an injective coloring of a graph G is clearly not less than the maximum degree Δ(G) of G. There exist planar graphs with girth g⩾6 and χi=Δ+1 for any Δ⩾2. We prove that every planar graph with Δ⩾18 and g⩾6 has χi⩽Δ+1.
