Radio antipodal colorings of graphs

Gary Chartrand, David Erwin, Ping Zhang (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A radio antipodal coloring of a connected graph G with diameter d is an assignment of positive integers to the vertices of G , with x V ( G ) assigned c ( x ) , such that d ( u , v ) + | c ( u ) - c ( v ) | d for every two distinct vertices u , v of G , where d ( u , v ) is the distance between u and v in G . The radio antipodal coloring number a c ( c ) of a radio antipodal coloring c of G is the maximum color assigned to a vertex of G . The radio antipodal chromatic number a c ( G ) of G is min { a c ( c ) } over all radio antipodal colorings c of G . Radio antipodal chromatic numbers...

Gary Chartrand, Ladislav Nebeský, Ping Zhang (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a connected graph G of diameter d and an integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ d, a radio k-coloring of G is an assignment c of colors (positive integers) to the vertices of G such that d(u,v) + |c(u)- c(v)| ≥ 1 + k for every two distinct vertices u and v of G, where d(u,v) is the distance between u and v. The value rcₖ(c) of a radio k-coloring c of G is the maximum color assigned to a vertex of G. The radio k-chromatic number rcₖ(G) of G is the minimum value of rcₖ(c) taken over all radio k-colorings...

On detectable colorings of graphs

Henry Escuadro, Ping Zhang (2005)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let G be a connected graph of order n 3 and let c E ( G ) { 1 , 2 , ... , k } be a coloring of the edges of G (where adjacent edges may be colored the same). For each vertex v of G , the color code of v with respect to c is the k -tuple c ( v ) = ( a 1 , a 2 , , a k ) , where a i is the number of edges incident with v that are colored i ( 1 i k ). The coloring c is detectable if distinct vertices have distinct color codes. The detection number det ( G ) of G is the minimum positive integer k for which G has a detectable k -coloring. We establish a formula for the...

3-consecutive c-colorings of graphs

Csilla Bujtás, E. Sampathkumar, Zsolt Tuza, M.S. Subramanya, Charles Dominic (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A 3-consecutive C-coloring of a graph G = (V,E) is a mapping φ:V → ℕ such that every path on three vertices has at most two colors. We prove general estimates on the maximum number ( χ ̅ ) 3 C C ( G ) of colors in a 3-consecutive C-coloring of G, and characterize the structure of connected graphs with ( χ ̅ ) 3 C C ( G ) k for k = 3 and k = 4.

Maximum Edge-Colorings Of Graphs

Stanislav Jendrol’, Michaela Vrbjarová (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An r-maximum k-edge-coloring of G is a k-edge-coloring of G having a property that for every vertex v of degree dG(v) = d, d ≥ r, the maximum color, that is present at vertex v, occurs at v exactly r times. The r-maximum index [...] χr′(G) χ r ' ( G ) is defined to be the minimum number k of colors needed for an r-maximum k-edge-coloring of graph G. In this paper we show that [...] χr′(G)≤3 χ r ' ( G ) 3 for any nontrivial connected graph G and r = 1 or 2. The bound 3 is tight. All graphs G with [...] χ1′(G)=i...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and cycles

Tomasz Dzido (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For given graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, k ≥ 2, the multicolor Ramsey number R(G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ) is the smallest integer n such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph on n vertices with k colors, then it is always a monochromatic copy of some G i , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. We give a lower bound for k-color Ramsey number R(Cₘ,Cₘ,...,Cₘ), where m ≥ 8 is even and Cₘ is the cycle on m vertices. In addition, we provide exact values for Ramsey numbers R(P₃,Cₘ,Cₚ), where P₃ is the path on 3 vertices,...

Set vertex colorings and joins of graphs

Futaba Okamoto, Craig W. Rasmussen, Ping Zhang (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a nontrivial connected graph G , let c V ( G ) 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 χ s ( G ) . A study is made of the set chromatic number of the join G + H of two graphs G and H . Sharp lower...

Kaleidoscopic Colorings of Graphs

Gary Chartrand, Sean English, Ping Zhang (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For an r-regular graph G, let c : E(G) → [k] = 1, 2, . . . , k, k ≥ 3, be an edge coloring of G, where every vertex of G is incident with at least one edge of each color. For a vertex v of G, the multiset-color cm(v) of v is defined as the ordered k-tuple (a1, a2, . . . , ak) or a1a2 … ak, where ai (1 ≤ i ≤ k) is the number of edges in G colored i that are incident with v. The edge coloring c is called k-kaleidoscopic if cm(u) ≠ cm(v) for every two distinct vertices u and v of G. A regular...
