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...

The chromaticity of a family of 2-connected 3-chromatic graphs with five triangles and cyclomatic number six

Halina Bielak (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this note, all chromatic equivalence classes for 2-connected 3-chromatic graphs with five triangles and cyclomatic number six are described. New families of chromatically unique graphs of order n are presented for each n ≥ 8. This is a generalization of a result stated in [5]. Moreover, a proof for the conjecture posed in [5] is given.

On partitions of hereditary properties of graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Anna Fiedorowicz (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper a concept 𝓠-Ramsey Class of graphs is introduced, where 𝓠 is a class of bipartite graphs. It is a generalization of well-known concept of Ramsey Class of graphs. Some 𝓠-Ramsey Classes of graphs are presented (Theorem 1 and 2). We proved that 𝓣₂, the class of all outerplanar graphs, is not 𝓓₁-Ramsey Class (Theorem 3). This results leads us to the concept of acyclic reducible bounds for a hereditary property 𝓟 . For 𝓣₂ we found two bounds (Theorem 4). An improvement,...

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.

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.

Relating 2-Rainbow Domination To Roman Domination

José D. Alvarado, Simone Dantas, Dieter Rautenbach (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G, let R(G) and yr2(G) denote the Roman domination number of G and the 2-rainbow domination number of G, respectively. It is known that yr2(G) ≤ R(G) ≤ 3/2yr2(G). Fujita and Furuya [Difference between 2-rainbow domination and Roman domination in graphs, Discrete Appl. Math. 161 (2013) 806-812] present some kind of characterization of the graphs G for which R(G) − yr2(G) = k for some integer k. Unfortunately, their result does not lead to an algorithm that allows to recognize...

2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with girth at least 22

Oleg V. Borodin, Anna O. Ivanova (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The trivial lower bound for the 2-distance chromatic number χ₂(G) of any graph G with maximum degree Δ is Δ+1. It is known that χ₂ = Δ+1 if the girth g of G is at least 7 and Δ is large enough. There are graphs with arbitrarily large Δ and g ≤ 6 having χ₂(G) ≥ Δ+2. We prove the 2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with g ≥ 22.

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...
