We present a variation of James Propp's generalized domino shuffling, which provides an efficient way to obtain perfect matchings of weighted Aztec diamonds. Our modification is specially tailored to deal with cases when some of the weights are zero. This allows us to tile efficiently a large class of planar graphs, by embedding them in a large enough Aztec diamond. We also give a sufficient condition on the size of the latter diamond for the algorithm to succeed.

A proper vertex coloring of [Formula: see text] is acyclic if [Formula: see text] contains no bicolored cycle. Namely, every cycle of [Formula: see text] must be colored with at least three colors. [Formula: see text] is acyclically [Formula: see text]-colorable if for a given list assignment [Formula: see text], there exists an acyclic coloring [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. If [Formula: see text] is acyclically [Formula: see text]-colorable for any list assignment with [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] is acyclically [Formula: see text]-choosable. In this paper, we prove that planar graphs without intersecting [Formula: see text]-cycles are acyclically [Formula: see text]-choosable. This provides a sufficient condition for planar graphs to be acyclically 4-choosable and also strengthens a result in [M. Montassier, A. Raspaud and W. Wang, Acyclic 4-choosability of planar graphs without cycles of specific lengths, in Topics in Discrete Mathematics, Algorithms and Combinatorics, Vol. 26 (Springer, Berlin, 2006), pp. 473–491] which says that planar graphs without [Formula: see text]-, [Formula: see text]-cycles and intersecting 3-cycles are acyclically 4-choosable.

A total k-coloring of a graph is an assignment of k colors to its vertices and edges such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total coloring conjecture (TCC) states that every simple graph G has a total ΔG+2-coloring, where ΔG is the maximum degree of G. This conjecture has been confirmed for planar graphs with maximum degree at least 7 or at most 5, i.e., the only open case of TCC is that of maximum degree 6. It is known that every planar graph G of ΔG≥9 or ΔG∈7,8 with some restrictions has a total ΔG+1-coloring. In particular, in (Shen and Wang, 2009), the authors proved that every planar graph with maximum degree 6 and without 4-cycles has a total 7-coloring. In this paper, we improve this result by showing that every diamond-free and house-free planar graph of maximum degree 6 is totally 7-colorable if every 6-vertex is not incident with two adjacent four cycles or three cycles of size p,q,ℓ for some p,q,ℓ∈3,4,4,3,3,4.

With information processing devices such as radio telescopes, microscopes or hi-fi systems, the quality of the output often is limited by distortion or noise introduced at the input stage of the device. This analogy can be extended usefully to specimen preparation for the electron microscope; fixation, which initiates the processing sequence, is the single most important step and, unfortunately, is the least well understood. Although there is an abundance of fixation mixtures recommended in the light microscopy literature, osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde are favored for electron microscopy. These fixatives react vigorously with proteins at the molecular level. There is clear evidence for the cross-linking of proteins both by osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde and cross-linking may be a necessary if not sufficient condition to define fixatives as a class.
