Solutions of Some L(2, 1)-Coloring Related Open Problems

Nibedita Mandal, Pratima Panigrahi (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An L(2, 1)-coloring (or labeling) of a graph G is a vertex coloring f : V (G) → Z+ ∪ {0} such that |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ 2 for all edges uv of G, and |f(u)−f(v)| ≥ 1 if d(u, v) = 2, where d(u, v) is the distance between vertices u and v in G. The span of an L(2, 1)-coloring is the maximum color (or label) assigned by it. The span of a graph G is the smallest integer λ such that there exists an L(2, 1)-coloring of G with span λ. An L(2, 1)-coloring of a graph with span equal to the span of...

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...

2-Tone Colorings in Graph Products

Jennifer Loe, Danielle Middelbrooks, Ashley Morris, Kirsti Wash (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A variation of graph coloring known as a t-tone k-coloring assigns a set of t colors to each vertex of a graph from the set {1, . . . , k}, where the sets of colors assigned to any two vertices distance d apart share fewer than d colors in common. The minimum integer k such that a graph G has a t- tone k-coloring is known as the t-tone chromatic number. We study the 2-tone chromatic number in three different graph products. In particular, given graphs G and H, we bound the 2-tone chromatic...

M 2 -Edge Colorings Of Cacti And Graph Joins

Július Czap, Peter Šugerek, Jaroslav Ivančo (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An edge coloring φ of a graph G is called an M2-edge coloring if |φ(v)| ≤ 2 for every vertex v of G, where φ(v) is the set of colors of edges incident with v. Let 𝒦2(G) denote the maximum number of colors used in an M2-edge coloring of G. In this paper we determine 𝒦2(G) for trees, cacti, complete multipartite graphs and graph joins.

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....

Unique-Maximum Coloring Of Plane Graphs

Igor Fabrici, Frank Göring (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A unique-maximum k-coloring with respect to faces of a plane graph G is a coloring with colors 1, . . . , k so that, for each face of G, the maximum color occurs exactly once on the vertices of α. We prove that any plane graph is unique-maximum 3-colorable and has a proper unique-maximum coloring with 6 colors.

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...

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...

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...

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.
