Abstract: Suppose ch(G) and X(G) denote, respectively, the choice number and the chromatic number of a graph G = (V;E). If ch(G) = (G) then G is said to be chromatic-choosable. Recently, Reed et al. proved a conjecture by Ohba that states that G is chromatic choosable whenever jV (G)j <= 2(G) + 1. Here, we present otherclasses of chromatic-choosable graphs that do not satisfy the hypothesis of the proven conjecture. Moreover, we give the upper bounds for the choice numbers of the Mycielski graphs and the cartesian product of any two graphs, in terms of a vertex-neighborhood condition.
