Abstract

We show that List Colouring can be solved on n-vertex trees by a deterministic Turing machine using O(log n) bits on the worktape. Given an n-vertex graph G = (V,E) and a list L(v) ⊆ {1,… ,n} of available colours for each v ∈ V, a list colouring for G is a proper colouring c such that c(v) ∈ L(v) for all v.
