Hamiltonicity and Generalised Total Colourings of Planar Graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Izak Broere (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The total generalised colourings considered in this paper are colourings of graphs such that the vertices and edges of the graph which receive the same colour induce subgraphs from two prescribed hereditary graph properties while incident elements receive different colours. The associated total chromatic number is the least number of colours with which this is possible. We study such colourings for sets of planar graphs and determine, in particular, upper bounds for these chromatic numbers...

WORM Colorings of Planar Graphs

J. Czap, S. Jendrol’, J. Valiska (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given three planar graphs F,H, and G, an (F,H)-WORM coloring of G is a vertex coloring such that no subgraph isomorphic to F is rainbow and no subgraph isomorphic to H is monochromatic. If G has at least one (F,H)-WORM coloring, then W−F,H(G) denotes the minimum number of colors in an (F,H)-WORM coloring of G. We show that (a) W−F,H(G) ≤ 2 if |V (F)| ≥ 3 and H contains a cycle, (b) W−F,H(G) ≤ 3 if |V (F)| ≥ 4 and H is a forest with Δ (H) ≥ 3, (c) W−F,H(G) ≤ 4 if |V (F)| ≥ 5 and H is...

Edge-choosability and total-choosability of planar graphs with no adjacent 3-cycles

Daniel W. Cranston (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a planar graph with no two 3-cycles sharing an edge. We show that if Δ(G) ≥ 9, then χ'ₗ(G) = Δ(G) and χ''ₗ(G) = Δ(G)+1. We also show that if Δ(G) ≥ 6, then χ'ₗ(G) ≤ Δ(G)+1 and if Δ(G) ≥ 7, then χ''ₗ(G) ≤ Δ(G)+2. All of these results extend to graphs in the projective plane and when Δ(G) ≥ 7 the results also extend to graphs in the torus and Klein bottle. This second edge-choosability result improves on work of Wang and Lih and of Zhang and Wu. All of our results use the discharging...

Analogues of cliques for oriented coloring

William F. Klostermeyer, Gary MacGillivray (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We examine subgraphs of oriented graphs in the context of oriented coloring that are analogous to cliques in traditional vertex coloring. Bounds on the sizes of these subgraphs are given for planar, outerplanar, and series-parallel graphs. In particular, the main result of the paper is that a planar graph cannot contain an induced subgraph D with more than 36 vertices such that each pair of vertices in D are joined by a directed path of length at most two.
