On the Rainbow Vertex-Connection

Xueliang Li, Yongtang Shi (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A vertex-colored graph is rainbow vertex-connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose internal vertices have distinct colors. The rainbow vertex-connection of a connected graph G, denoted by rvc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow vertexconnected. It was proved that if G is a graph of order n with minimum degree δ, then rvc(G) < 11n/δ. In this paper, we show that rvc(G) ≤ 3n/(δ+1)+5 for [xxx] and n ≥ 290, while rvc(G) ≤ 4n/(δ...

Rainbow Vertex-Connection and Forbidden Subgraphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A path in a vertex-colored graph is called vertex-rainbow if its internal vertices have pairwise distinct colors. A vertex-colored graph G is rainbow vertex-connected if for any two distinct vertices of G, there is a vertex-rainbow path connecting them. For a connected graph G, the rainbow vertex-connection number of G, denoted by rvc(G), is defined as the minimum number of colors that are required to make G rainbow vertex-connected. In this paper, we find all the families ℱ of connected...

Vertex Colorings without Rainbow Subgraphs

Wayne Goddard, Honghai Xu (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a coloring of the vertices of a graph G, we say a subgraph is rainbow if its vertices receive distinct colors. For a graph F, we define the F-upper chromatic number of G as the maximum number of colors that can be used to color the vertices of G such that there is no rainbow copy of F. We present some results on this parameter for certain graph classes. The focus is on the case that F is a star or triangle. For example, we show that the K3-upper chromatic number of any maximal...

A Gallai-type equality for the total domination number of a graph

Sanming Zhou (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove the following Gallai-type equality γₜ(G) + εₜ(G) = p for any graph G with no isolated vertex, where p is the number of vertices of G, γₜ(G) is the total domination number of G, and εₜ(G) is the maximum integer s such that there exists a spanning forest F with s the number of pendant edges of F minus the number of star components of F.

Worm Colorings

Wayne Goddard, Kirsti Wash, Honghai Xu (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a coloring of the vertices, we say subgraph H is monochromatic if every vertex of H is assigned the same color, and rainbow if no pair of vertices of H are assigned the same color. Given a graph G and a graph F, we define an F-WORM coloring of G as a coloring of the vertices of G without a rainbow or monochromatic subgraph H isomorphic to F. We present some results on this concept especially as regards to the existence, complexity, and optimization within certain graph classes....

Vertex rainbow colorings of graphs

Futaba Fujie-Okamoto, Kyle Kolasinski, Jianwei Lin, Ping Zhang (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In a properly vertex-colored graph G, a path P is a rainbow path if no two vertices of P have the same color, except possibly the two end-vertices of P. If every two vertices of G are connected by a rainbow path, then G is vertex rainbow-connected. A proper vertex coloring of a connected graph G that results in a vertex rainbow-connected graph is a vertex rainbow coloring of G. The minimum number of colors needed in a vertex rainbow coloring of G is the vertex rainbow connection number...

The vertex monophonic number of a graph

A.P. Santhakumaran, P. Titus (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a connected graph G of order p ≥ 2 and a vertex x of G, a set S ⊆ V(G) is an x-monophonic set of G if each vertex v ∈ V(G) lies on an x -y monophonic path for some element y in S. The minimum cardinality of an x-monophonic set of G is defined as the x-monophonic number of G, denoted by mₓ(G). An x-monophonic set of cardinality mₓ(G) is called a mₓ-set of G. We determine bounds for it and characterize graphs which realize these bounds. A connected graph of order p with vertex monophonic...
