Popis: Let G be a plane graph. A vertex-colouring $$\varphi $$? of G is called facial non-repetitive if for no sequence $$r_1 r_2 \ldots r_{2n}$$r1r2?r2n, $$n\ge 1$$n?1, of consecutive vertex colours of any facial path it holds $$r_i=r_{n+i}$$ri=rn+i for all $$i=1,2,\ldots ,n$$i=1,2,?,n. A plane graph G is facial non-repetitivelyk-choosable if for every list assignment $$L:V\rightarrow 2^{\mathbb {N}}$$L:V?2N with minimum list size at least k there is a facial non-repetitive vertex-colouring $$\varphi $$? with colours from the associated lists. The facial Thue choice number, $$\pi _{fl}(G)$$?fl(G), of a plane graph G is the minimum number k such that G is facial non-repetitively k-choosable. We use the so-called entropy compression method to show that $$\pi _{fl} (G)\le c \varDelta $$?fl(G)≤cΔ for some absolute constant c and G a plane graph with maximum degree $$\varDelta $$Δ. Moreover, we give some better (constant) upper bounds on $$\pi _{fl} (G)$$?fl(G) for special classes of plane graphs.
