All graphs considered in this paper are finite simple graph.A coloring φ :V(G)→ {1,2,…,k} of G is 2-distance if any two vertices at distance at most two from each other get different colors.The minimum number of colors in 2-distance coloring of G is its 2-distance chromatic number,denoted by χ2(G).If every vertex v ∈ V(G)has its own set L(v)of admissible colors,where|L(v)| ≥ k,then we say that V(G)has a list L of size k.A graph G is said to be list 2-distance k-colorable if any list L of size k allows a 2-distance coloring (?) such that (?)(v)∈ L(v)whenever v ∈ V(G).The least k for which G is list 2-distance k-colorable is the list 2-distance chromatic number of G,denoted by ch2(G).In 1977,Wegner proved that if G is a planar graph with ? = 3,then χ2(G)≤ 8and posed the following conjecture in the same paper: For each planar graph,(1)χ2(G)≤ 7 if ?(G)= 3;(2)χ2(G)≤ ?(G)+ 5 if 4 ≤ ?(G)≤ 7;(3)χ2(G)≤ [3/2?(G)] + 1 if ?(G)≥ 8.And this conjecture has not yet been fully proved.This paper consists three chapters and mainly study the list 2-distance coloring of sparse graphs with ? = 6,7.In the first chapter,we introduce some basic definitions and the research status of 2-distance coloring,and gives the results of this paper.In the second chapter,we mainly study the list 2-distance coloring of sparse graphs with ? = 6,proving that:If G with △ = 6 and mad(G)< 2 +17/20(resp.mad(G)< 2 +2/10),then ch2(G)≤ 11(resp.ch2(G)≤ 12).In the third chapter,we mainly study the list 2-distance coloring of sparse graphs with ? = 7,showing that: If G with △ = 7 and mad(G)< 2 +4/5(resp.mad(G)< 2 +2/10),then ch2(G)≤ 11(resp.ch2(G)≤ 12).
