Let be a graph. If and are two integers, a -colouring of is a function from to such that for each edge . Given a list assignment of , i.e.~a mapping that assigns to every vertex a set of non-negative integers, an -colouring of is a mapping such that for every . A list assignment is a --list-assignment if and for each vertex . Given such a list assignment , the graph G is --colourable if there exists a --colouring , i.e. is both a -colouring and an -colouring. For any real number , the graph is --choosable if it is --colourable for every --list-assignment . Last, is circularly -choosable if it is --choosable for any , . The circular choosability (or circular list chromatic number or circular choice number) of G is

Conjecture Can the approximation ratio be improved for the Maximum Edge Disjoint Paths problem (MaxEDP) in planar graphs or can an inapproximability result stronger than -hardness?
An oriented colouring of an oriented graph is assignment of colours to the vertices such that no two arcs receive ordered pairs of colours and . It is equivalent to a homomorphism of the digraph onto some tournament of order .

Conjecture If is a cubic graph not containing a triangle, then it is possible to color the edges of by five colors, so that the complement of every color class is a bipartite graph.
