On acyclic colorings of direct products

Simon Špacapan, Aleksandra Tepeh Horvat (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A coloring of a graph G is an acyclic coloring if the union of any two color classes induces a forest. It is proved that the acyclic chromatic number of direct product of two trees T₁ and T₂ equals min{Δ(T₁) + 1, Δ(T₂) + 1}. We also prove that the acyclic chromatic number of direct product of two complete graphs Kₘ and Kₙ is mn-m-2, where m ≥ n ≥ 4. Several bounds for the acyclic chromatic number of direct products are given and in connection to this some questions are raised. ...

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...

Hardness Results for Total Rainbow Connection of Graphs

Lily Chen, Bofeng Huo, Yingbin Ma (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A total-colored path is total rainbow if both its edges and internal vertices have distinct colors. The total rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by trc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in a total-coloring of G in order to make G total rainbow connected, that is, any two vertices of G are connected by a total rainbow path. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of total rainbow connection of graphs. We show that deciding whether...

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...

Bounds for the rainbow connection number of graphs

Ingo Schiermeyer (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An edge-coloured graph G is rainbow-connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colours. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colours that are needed in order to make G rainbow-connected. In this paper we show some new bounds for the rainbow connection number of graphs depending on the minimum degree and other graph parameters. Moreover, we discuss sharpness of some of these bounds. ...

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.

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...

Rainbow Ramsey theorems for colorings establishing negative partition relations

András Hajnal (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a function f, a subset of its domain is a rainbow subset for f if f is one-to-one on it. We start with an old Erdős problem: Assume f is a coloring of the pairs of ω₁ with three colors such that every subset A of ω₁ of size ω₁ contains a pair of each color. Does there exist a rainbow triangle? We investigate rainbow problems and results of this style for colorings of pairs establishing negative "square bracket" relations.

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.

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.

We create and discuss several modifications to traditional graph coloring. In particular, we classify various notions of coloring in a proper hierarchy. We concentrate on grid graphs whose colorings can be represented by natural number entries in arrays with various restrictions.
