Abstract

An r-dynamick-coloring of a graphG is a proper k-coloring such that every vertex v in V(G) has neighbors in at least $$min\{d(v),r\}$$ m i n { d ( v ) , r } different classes. The r-dynamic chromatic number ofG, written $$\chi _{r}(G)$$ χ r ( G ) , is the minimum integer k such that G has such a coloring. In this paper, we investigate the r-dynamic $$(r+1)$$ ( r + 1 ) -coloring (i.e. optimal r-dynamic coloring) of sparse graphs and prove that $$\chi _{r}(G)\le r+1$$ χ r ( G ) ≤ r + 1 holds if G is a planar graph with $$g(G)\ge 7$$ g ( G ) ≥ 7 and $$r\ge 16$$ r ≥ 16 , which is a generalization of the case $$r=\Delta $$ r = Δ .
