Vertex-distinguishing edge-colorings of linear forests

Sylwia Cichacz, Jakub Przybyło (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In the PhD thesis by Burris (Memphis (1993)), a conjecture was made concerning the number of colors c(G) required to edge-color a simple graph G so that no two distinct vertices are incident to the same multiset of colors. We find the exact value of c(G) - the irregular coloring number, and hence verify the conjecture when G is a vertex-disjoint union of paths. We also investigate the point-distinguishing chromatic index, χ₀(G), where sets, instead of multisets, are required to be distinct,...

Rainbow Connection Number of Graphs with Diameter 3

Hengzhe Li, Xueliang Li, Yuefang Sun (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A path in an edge-colored graph G is rainbow if no two edges of the path are colored the same. The rainbow connection number rc(G) of G is the smallest integer k for which there exists a k-edge-coloring of G such that every pair of distinct vertices of G is connected by a rainbow path. Let f(d) denote the minimum number such that rc(G) ≤ f(d) for each bridgeless graph G with diameter d. In this paper, we shall show that 7 ≤ f(3) ≤ 9.

On Twin Edge Colorings of Graphs

Eric Andrews, Laars Helenius, Daniel Johnston, Jonathon VerWys, Ping Zhang (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A twin edge k-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G with the elements of Zk so that the induced vertex coloring in which the color of a vertex v in G is the sum (in Zk) of the colors of the edges incident with v is a proper vertex coloring. The minimum k for which G has a twin edge k-coloring is called the twin chromatic index of G. Among the results presented are formulas for the twin chromatic index of each complete graph and each complete bipartite graph

On Monochromatic Subgraphs of Edge-Colored Complete Graphs

In a red-blue coloring of a nonempty graph, every edge is colored red or blue. If the resulting edge-colored graph contains a nonempty subgraph G without isolated vertices every edge of which is colored the same, then G is said to be monochromatic. For two nonempty graphs G and H without isolated vertices, the mono- chromatic Ramsey number mr(G,H) of G and H is the minimum integer n such that every red-blue coloring of Kn results in a monochromatic G or a monochromatic H. Thus, the standard...
