Spanning trees with many or few colors in edge-colored graphs

Hajo Broersma, Xueliang Li (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a graph G = (V,E) and a (not necessarily proper) edge-coloring of G, we consider the complexity of finding a spanning tree of G with as many different colors as possible, and of finding one with as few different colors as possible. We show that the first problem is equivalent to finding a common independent set of maximum cardinality in two matroids, implying that there is a polynomial algorithm. We use the minimum dominating set problem to show that the second problem is NP-hard. ...

Graphs with 4-Rainbow Index 3 and n − 1

Xueliang Li, Ingo Schiermeyer, Kang Yang, Yan Zhao (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ ℕ, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is called a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree that connects S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such that there is a rainbow S-tree for every set S of k vertices of V (G) is called the k-rainbow index of G, denoted...

Semi-definite positive programming relaxations for graph K 𝐧 -coloring in frequency assignment

Philippe Meurdesoif, Benoît Rottembourg (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper we will describe a new class of coloring problems, arising from military frequency assignment, where we want to minimize the number of distinct n -uples of colors used to color a given set of n -complete-subgraphs of a graph. We will propose two relaxations based on Semi-Definite Programming models for graph and hypergraph coloring, to approximate those (generally) NP-hard problems, as well as a generalization of the works of Karger et al. for hypergraph coloring, to find...

Graphs with 3-Rainbow Index n − 1 and n − 2

Xueliang Li, Ingo Schiermeyer, Kang Yang, Yan Zhao (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be a nontrivial connected graph of order n with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ N, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree connecting S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such that there is a rainbow S-tree for each k-subset S of V (G) is called the k-rainbow index of...

Backbone colorings along stars and matchings in split graphs: their span is close to the chromatic number

Hajo Broersma, Bert Marchal, Daniel Paulusma, A.N.M. Salman (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We continue the study on backbone colorings, a variation on classical vertex colorings that was introduced at WG2003. Given a graph G = (V,E) and a spanning subgraph H of G (the backbone of G), a λ-backbone coloring for G and H is a proper vertex coloring V→ {1,2,...} of G in which the colors assigned to adjacent vertices in H differ by at least λ. The algorithmic and combinatorial properties of backbone colorings have been studied for various types of backbones in a number of papers....

Parity vertex colorings of binomial trees

Petr Gregor, Riste Škrekovski (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We show for every k ≥ 1 that the binomial tree of order 3k has a vertex-coloring with 2k+1 colors such that every path contains some color odd number of times. This disproves a conjecture from [1] asserting that for every tree T the minimal number of colors in a such coloring of T is at least the vertex ranking number of T minus one.

Efficient list cost coloring of vertices and/or edges of bounded cyclicity graphs

Krzysztof Giaro, Marek Kubale (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider a list cost coloring of vertices and edges in the model of vertex, edge, total and pseudototal coloring of graphs. We use a dynamic programming approach to derive polynomial-time algorithms for solving the above problems for trees. Then we generalize this approach to arbitrary graphs with bounded cyclomatic numbers and to their multicolorings.

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...
