Discharging method was proposed in 1977 by Appel and Haken, he used it to prove that for any planar graph G, χ(G)≤4, that is well-known 4-Color Theorem. Heuvel et al. used discharging method to prove χ(G^2 )≤2"Δ"+25 in 1999. In this paper, we reduce this upper bound to 2"Δ"+10 and also generalize the result to λ(G;p,q)≤(4q-2)"Δ"+10p+8q-9.
