The Incidence Chromatic Number of Toroidal Grids
An incidence in a graph G is a pair (v, e) with v ∈ V (G) and e ∈ E(G), such that v and e are incident. Two incidences (v, e) and (w, f) are adjacent if v = w, or e = f, or the edge vw equals e or f. The incidence chromatic number of G is the smallest k for which there exists a mapping from the set of incidences of G to a set of k colors that assigns distinct colors to adjacent incidences. In this paper, we prove that the incidence chromatic number of the toroidal grid Tm,n = Cm2Cn equals 5 when...
