Equitable coloring of Kneser graphs

Robert Fidytek, Hanna Furmańczyk, Paweł Żyliński (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Kneser graph K(n,k) is the graph whose vertices correspond to k-element subsets of set {1,2,...,n} and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they represent disjoint subsets. In this paper we study the problem of equitable coloring of Kneser graphs, namely, we establish the equitable chromatic number for graphs K(n,2) and K(n,3). In addition, for sufficiently large n, a tight upper bound on equitable chromatic number of graph K(n,k) is given. Finally, the cases of K(2k,k) and K(2k+1,k)...

Sum List Edge Colorings of Graphs

Arnfried Kemnitz, Massimiliano Marangio, Margit Voigt (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph and for every edge e ∈ E let L(e) be a set (list) of available colors. The graph G is called L-edge colorable if there is a proper edge coloring c of G with c(e) ∈ L(e) for all e ∈ E. A function f : E → ℕ is called an edge choice function of G and G is said to be f-edge choosable if G is L-edge colorable for every list assignment L with |L(e)| = f(e) for all e ∈ E. Set size(f) = ∑e∈E f(e) and define the sum choice index χ′sc(G) as the minimum of size(f)...

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.

List coloring of complete multipartite graphs

Tomáš Vetrík (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The choice number of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that for every assignment of a list L(v) of k colors to each vertex v of G, there is a proper coloring of G that assigns to each vertex v a color from L(v). We present upper and lower bounds on the choice number of complete multipartite graphs with partite classes of equal sizes and complete r-partite graphs with r-1 partite classes of order two.

Edge colorings and total colorings of integer distance graphs

Arnfried Kemnitz, Massimiliano Marangio (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An integer distance graph is a graph G(D) with the set Z of integers as vertex set and two vertices u,v ∈ Z are adjacent if and only if |u-v| ∈ D where the distance set D is a subset of the positive integers N. In this note we determine the chromatic index, the choice index, the total chromatic number and the total choice number of all integer distance graphs, and the choice number of special integer distance graphs.

Remarks on 15-vertex (3,3)-ramsey graphs not containing K₅

Sebastian Urbański (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paper gives an account of previous and recent attempts to determine the order of a smallest graph not containing K₅ and such that every 2-coloring of its edges results in a monochromatic triangle. A new 14-vertex K₄-free graph with the same Ramsey property in the vertex coloring case is found. This yields a new construction of one of the only two known 15-vertex (3,3)-Ramsey graphs not containing K₅.

On multiset colorings of graphs

Futaba Okamoto, Ebrahim Salehi, Ping Zhang (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A vertex coloring of a graph G is a multiset coloring if the multisets of colors of the neighbors of every two adjacent vertices are different. The minimum k for which G has a multiset k-coloring is the multiset chromatic number χₘ(G) of G. For every graph G, χₘ(G) is bounded above by its chromatic number χ(G). The multiset chromatic numbers of regular graphs are investigated. It is shown that for every pair k, r of integers with 2 ≤ k ≤ r - 1, there exists an r-regular graph with multiset...

Equitable Colorings Of Corona Multiproducts Of Graphs

Hanna Furmánczyk, Marek Kubale, Vahan V. Mkrtchyan (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets in such a way that the numbers of vertices in any two sets differ by at most one. The smallest k for which such a coloring exists is known as the equitable chromatic number of G and denoted by 𝜒=(G). It is known that the problem of computation of 𝜒=(G) is NP-hard in general and remains so for corona graphs. In this paper we consider the same model of coloring in the case of corona multiproducts...

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....

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.
