Abstract
A (proper) total-k-coloring of a graph G is a mapping \(\phi : V (G) \cup E(G)\mapsto \{1, 2, \ldots , k\}\) such that any two adjacent elements in \(V (G) \cup E(G)\) receive different colors. Let C(v) denote the set of the color of a vertex v and the colors of all incident edges of v. A total-k-adjacent vertex distinguishing-coloring of G is a total-k-coloring of G such that for each edge \(uv\in E(G)\), \(C(u)\ne C(v)\). We denote the smallest value k in such a coloring of G by \(\chi ''_{a}(G)\). It is known that \(\chi _{a}''(G)\le \Delta (G)+3\) for any planar graph with \(\Delta (G)\ge 11\). In this paper, we show that if G is a planar graph with \(\Delta (G)\ge 10\), then \(\chi _{a}''(G)\le \Delta (G)+3\). Our approach is based on Combinatorial Nullstellensatz and the discharging method.
