Optimal Backbone Coloring of Split Graphs with Matching Backbones

Krzysztof Turowski (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G with a given subgraph H, the backbone coloring is defined as the mapping c : V (G) → N+ such that |c(u) − c(v)| ≥ 2 for each edge {u, v} ∈ E(H) and |c(u) − c(v)| ≥ 1 for each edge {u, v} ∈ E(G). The backbone chromatic number BBC(G,H) is the smallest integer k such that there exists a backbone coloring with maxv∈V (G) c(v) = k. In this paper, we present the algorithm for the backbone coloring of split graphs with matching backbone.

Grundy number of graphs

Brice Effantin, Hamamache Kheddouci (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Grundy number of a graph G is the maximum number k of colors used to color the vertices of G such that the coloring is proper and every vertex x colored with color i, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, is adjacent to (i-1) vertices colored with each color j, 1 ≤ j ≤ i -1. In this paper we give bounds for the Grundy number of some graphs and cartesian products of graphs. In particular, we determine an exact value of this parameter for n-dimensional meshes and some n-dimensional toroidal meshes. Finally,...

On the cost chromatic number of outerplanar, planar, and line graphs

John Mitchem, Patrick Morriss, Edward Schmeichel (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider vertex colorings of graphs in which each color has an associated cost which is incurred each time the color is assigned to a vertex. The cost of the coloring is the sum of the costs incurred at each vertex. The cost chromatic number of a graph with respect to a cost set is the minimum number of colors necessary to produce a minimum cost coloring of the graph. We show that the cost chromatic number of maximal outerplanar and maximal planar graphs can be arbitrarily large and...

Generalized total colorings of graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Arnfried Kemnitz, Massimiliano Marangio, Peter Mihók (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphism. Let P and Q be additive hereditary properties of graphs. A (P,Q)-total coloring of a simple graph G is a coloring of the vertices V(G) and edges E(G) of G such that for each color i the vertices colored by i induce a subgraph of property P, the edges colored by i induce a subgraph of property Q and incident vertices and edges obtain different colors. In this...

K3-Worm Colorings of Graphs: Lower Chromatic Number and Gaps in the Chromatic Spectrum

Csilla Bujtás, Zsolt Tuza (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A K3-WORM coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices in such a way that the vertices of each K3-subgraph of G get precisely two colors. We study graphs G which admit at least one such coloring. We disprove a conjecture of Goddard et al. [Congr. Numer. 219 (2014) 161-173] by proving that for every integer k ≥ 3 there exists a K3-WORM-colorable graph in which the minimum number of colors is exactly k. There also exist K3-WORM colorable graphs which have a K3-WORM...

Adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-colorings of planar graphs with girth at least six

Yuehua Bu, Ko-Wei Lih, Weifan Wang (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring o G such that any pair of adjacent vertices are incident to distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors required for an adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring of G is denoted by χ'ₐ(G). We prove that χ'ₐ(G) is at most the maximum degree plus 2 if G is a planar graph without isolated edges whose girth is at least 6. This gives new evidence to a conjecture proposed in [Z. Zhang, L. Liu,...

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,...

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)...
