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.

Interval Edge-Colorings of Cartesian Products of Graphs I

Petros A. Petrosyan, Hrant H. Khachatrian, Hovhannes G. Tananyan (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A proper edge-coloring of a graph G with colors 1, . . . , t is an interval t-coloring if all colors are used and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of G form an interval of integers. A graph G is interval colorable if it has an interval t-coloring for some positive integer t. Let [...] be the set of all interval colorable graphs. For a graph G ∈ [...] , the least and the greatest values of t for which G has an interval t-coloring are denoted by w(G) and W(G), respectively....

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.

Almost-Rainbow Edge-Colorings of Some Small Subgraphs

Elliot Krop, Irina Krop (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let f(n, p, q) be the minimum number of colors necessary to color the edges of Kn so that every Kp is at least q-colored. We improve current bounds on these nearly “anti-Ramsey” numbers, first studied by Erdös and Gyárfás. We show that [...] , slightly improving the bound of Axenovich. We make small improvements on bounds of Erdös and Gyárfás by showing [...] and for all even n ≢ 1(mod 3), f(n, 4, 5) ≤ n− 1. For a complete bipartite graph G= Kn,n, we show an n-color construction to color...

Strong Edge-Coloring Of Planar Graphs

Wen-Yao Song, Lian-Ying Miao (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A strong edge-coloring of a graph is a proper edge-coloring where each color class induces a matching. We denote by 𝜒's(G) the strong chromatic index of G which is the smallest integer k such that G can be strongly edge-colored with k colors. It is known that every planar graph G has a strong edge-coloring with at most 4 Δ(G) + 4 colors [R.J. Faudree, A. Gyárfás, R.H. Schelp and Zs. Tuza, The strong chromatic index of graphs, Ars Combin. 29B (1990) 205–211]. In this paper, we show that...

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...

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 improper interval edge colourings

Peter Hudák, František Kardoš, Tomáš Madaras, Michaela Vrbjarová (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study improper interval edge colourings, defined by the requirement that the edge colours around each vertex form an integer interval. For the corresponding chromatic invariant (being the maximum number of colours in such a colouring), we present upper and lower bounds and discuss their qualities; also, we determine its values and estimates for graphs of various families, like wheels, prisms or complete graphs. The study of this parameter was inspired by the interval colouring, introduced...

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,...
