Vertex Colorings without Rainbow Subgraphs

Wayne Goddard, Honghai Xu (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a coloring of the vertices of a graph G, we say a subgraph is rainbow if its vertices receive distinct colors. For a graph F, we define the F-upper chromatic number of G as the maximum number of colors that can be used to color the vertices of G such that there is no rainbow copy of F. We present some results on this parameter for certain graph classes. The focus is on the case that F is a star or triangle. For example, we show that the K3-upper chromatic number of any maximal...

Adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-colorings of planar graphs with girth at least six

Yuehua Bu, Ko-Wei Lih, Weifan Wang (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring o G such that any pair of adjacent vertices are incident to distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors required for an adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of G is denoted by χ'ₐ(G). We prove that χ'ₐ(G) is at most the maximum degree plus 2 if G is a planar graph without isolated edges whose girth is at least 6. This gives new evidence to a conjecture proposed in [Z. Zhang, L. Liu,...

A Tight Bound on the Set Chromatic Number

Jean-Sébastien Sereni, Zelealem B. Yilma (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We provide a tight bound on the set chromatic number of a graph in terms of its chromatic number. Namely, for all graphs G, we show that χs(G) > ⌈log2 χ(G)⌉ + 1, where χs(G) and χ(G) are the set chromatic number and the chromatic number of G, respectively. This answers in the affirmative a conjecture of Gera, Okamoto, Rasmussen and Zhang.

Worm Colorings

Wayne Goddard, Kirsti Wash, Honghai Xu (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a coloring of the vertices, we say subgraph H is monochromatic if every vertex of H is assigned the same color, and rainbow if no pair of vertices of H are assigned the same color. Given a graph G and a graph F, we define an F-WORM coloring of G as a coloring of the vertices of G without a rainbow or monochromatic subgraph H isomorphic to F. We present some results on this concept especially as regards to the existence, complexity, and optimization within certain graph classes....

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.

Coloring subgraphs with restricted amounts of hues

Wayne Goddard, Robert Melville (2017)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider vertex colorings where the number of colors given to specified subgraphs is restricted. In particular, given some fixed graph F and some fixed set A of positive integers, we consider (not necessarily proper) colorings of the vertices of a graph G such that, for every copy of F in G, the number of colors it receives is in A. This generalizes proper colorings, defective coloring, and no-rainbow coloring, inter alia. In this paper we focus on the case that A is a singleton set....

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,...
