Given lists of available colors assigned to the vertices of a graph G, a list coloring is a proper coloring of G such that the color on each vertex is chosen from its list. If the lists all have size k, then a list coloring is equitable if each color appears on at most [|V(G)|/k] vertices. A graph is equitably k-choosable if such a coloring exists whenever the lists all have size k. Kostochka, Pelsmajer, and West introduced this notion and conjectured that G is equitably k-choosable for k > Delta(G). We prove this for Delta(G) = 3. We also show that every graph G is equitably k-choosable for k greater than or equal to Delta(G)(Delta(G)- 1)/2 + 2. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
