An extension of Thomassen's result on choosability

Abstract

Thomassen proved that all planar graphs are $5$-choosable. \v{S}krekovski strengthened the result by showing that all $K_{5}$-minor-free graphs are $5$-choosable. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle pointed out that all planar graphs are DP-$5$-colorable. In this note, we first improve these results by showing that every $K_{5}$-minor-free or $K_{3, 3}$-minor-free graph is DP-$5$-colorable. In the final section, we further improve these results under the term strictly $f$-degenerate transversal.
