The list Distinguishing Number Equals the Distinguishing Number for Interval Graphs

Poppy Immel, Paul S. Wenger (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A distinguishing coloring of a graph G is a coloring of the vertices so that every nontrivial automorphism of G maps some vertex to a vertex with a different color. The distinguishing number of G is the minimum k such that G has a distinguishing coloring where each vertex is assigned a color from {1, . . . , k}. A list assignment to G is an assignment L = {L(v)}v∈V (G) of lists of colors to the vertices of G. A distinguishing L-coloring of G is a distinguishing coloring of G where the color of each...

The list linear arboricity of planar graphs

Xinhui An, Baoyindureng Wu (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of G. An and Wu introduce the notion of list linear arboricity lla(G) of a graph G and conjecture that lla(G) = la(G) for any graph G. We confirm that this conjecture is true for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 13, or for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 7 and without i-cycles for some i ∈ {3,4,5}. We also prove that ⌈½Δ(G)⌉ ≤ lla(G) ≤ ⌈½(Δ(G)+1)⌉ for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 9.

The local metric dimension of a graph

Futaba Okamoto, Bryan Phinezy, Ping Zhang (2010)

Mathematica Bohemica

For an ordered set W = { w 1 , w 2 , ... , w k } of k distinct vertices in a nontrivial connected graph G , the metric code of a vertex v of G with respect to W is the k -vector code ( v ) = ( d ( v , w 1 ) , d ( v , w 2 ) , , d ( v , w k ) ) where d ( v , w i ) is the distance between v and w i for 1 i k . The set W is a local metric set of G if code ( u ) code ( v ) for every pair u , v of adjacent vertices of G . The minimum positive integer k for which G has a local metric k -set is the local metric dimension lmd ( G ) of G . A local metric set of G of cardinality lmd ( G ) is a local metric basis of G . We characterize all nontrivial connected...
