Bounds for the b-Chromatic Number of Subgraphs and Edge-Deleted Subgraphs

P. Francis, S. Francis Raj (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A b-coloring of a graph G with k colors is a proper coloring of G using k colors in which each color class contains a color dominating vertex, that is, a vertex which has a neighbor in each of the other color classes. The largest positive integer k for which G has a b-coloring using k colors is the b-chromatic number b(G) of G. In this paper, we obtain bounds for the b- chromatic number of induced subgraphs in terms of the b-chromatic number of the original graph. This turns out to be...

The set chromatic number of a graph

Gary Chartrand, Futaba Okamoto, Craig W. Rasmussen, Ping Zhang (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a nontrivial connected graph G, let c: V(G)→ N be a vertex coloring of G where adjacent vertices may be colored the same. For a vertex v of G, the neighborhood color set NC(v) is the set of colors of the neighbors of v. The coloring c is called a set coloring if NC(u) ≠ NC(v) for every pair u,v of adjacent vertices of G. The minimum number of colors required of such a coloring is called the set chromatic number χₛ(G) of G. The set chromatic numbers of some well-known classes of graphs...

Three edge-coloring conjectures

Similarity:

The focus of this article is on three of the author's open conjectures. The article itself surveys results relating to the conjectures and shows where the conjectures are known to hold.

A Note on Neighbor Expanded Sum Distinguishing Index

Evelyne Flandrin, Hao Li, Antoni Marczyk, Jean-François Saclé, Mariusz Woźniak (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A total k-coloring of a graph G is a coloring of vertices and edges of G using colors of the set [k] = {1, . . . , k}. These colors can be used to distinguish the vertices of G. There are many possibilities of such a distinction. In this paper, we consider the sum of colors on incident edges and adjacent vertices.

Chromatic Polynomials of Mixed Hypercycles

Julian A. Allagan, David Slutzky (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We color the vertices of each of the edges of a C-hypergraph (or cohypergraph) in such a way that at least two vertices receive the same color and in every proper coloring of a B-hypergraph (or bihypergraph), we forbid the cases when the vertices of any of its edges are colored with the same color (monochromatic) or when they are all colored with distinct colors (rainbow). In this paper, we determined explicit formulae for the chromatic polynomials of C-hypercycles and B-hypercycles ...

The upper domination Ramsey number u(4,4)

Tomasz Dzido, Renata Zakrzewska (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The upper domination Ramsey number u(m,n) is the smallest integer p such that every 2-coloring of the edges of Kₚ with color red and blue, Γ(B) ≥ m or Γ(R) ≥ n, where B and R is the subgraph of Kₚ induced by blue and red edges, respectively; Γ(G) is the maximum cardinality of a minimal dominating set of a graph G. In this paper, we show that u(4,4) ≤ 15.

On Monochromatic Subgraphs of Edge-Colored Complete Graphs

Eric Andrews, Futaba Fujie, Kyle Kolasinski, Chira Lumduanhom, Adam Yusko (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

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...
