Abstract
A sequence of the form s 1 s 2 … s m s 1 s 2 … s m is called a repetition. A vertex-coloring of a graph is called nonrepetitive if none of its paths is repetitively colored. We answer a question of Grytczuk [Thue type problems for graphs, points and numbers, manuscript] by proving that every outerplanar graph has a nonrepetitive 12-coloring. We also show that graphs of tree-width t have nonrepetitive 4 t -colorings.
