    Assume that we assign a list of colors \(L(x)\), \(|L(x)|\leq k\), to each element \(x\) of the set \(V(G)\cup E(G)\cup F(G)\), where \(G\) is a plane graph. If it is possible to color the elements of \(V(G)\cup E(G)\cup F(G)\) in such a way that all the adjacent and incident elements have distinct colors, then we say that \(G\) is entirely \(k\)-choosable. The authors use the discharching method to show that every plane graph with \(\Delta(G)\leq 5\) is entirely \((\Delta(G)+5)\)-choosable.
