On-line 𝓟-coloring of graphs

Piotr Borowiecki (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a given induced hereditary property 𝓟, a 𝓟-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of one color to each vertex such that the subgraphs induced by each of the color classes have property 𝓟. We consider the effectiveness of on-line 𝓟-coloring algorithms and give the generalizations and extensions of selected results known for on-line proper coloring algorithms. We prove a linear lower bound for the performance guarantee function of any stingy on-line 𝓟-coloring algorithm. In the...

Equitable Colorings Of Corona Multiproducts Of Graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets in such a way that the numbers of vertices in any two sets differ by at most one. The smallest k for which such a coloring exists is known as the equitable chromatic number of G and denoted by 𝜒=(G). It is known that the problem of computation of 𝜒=(G) is NP-hard in general and remains so for corona graphs. In this paper we consider the same model of coloring in the case of corona multiproducts...

2-Tone Colorings in Graph Products

Jennifer Loe, Danielle Middelbrooks, Ashley Morris, Kirsti Wash (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A variation of graph coloring known as a t-tone k-coloring assigns a set of t colors to each vertex of a graph from the set {1, . . . , k}, where the sets of colors assigned to any two vertices distance d apart share fewer than d colors in common. The minimum integer k such that a graph G has a t- tone k-coloring is known as the t-tone chromatic number. We study the 2-tone chromatic number in three different graph products. In particular, given graphs G and H, we bound the 2-tone chromatic...

Solutions of Some L(2, 1)-Coloring Related Open Problems

Nibedita Mandal, Pratima Panigrahi (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An L(2, 1)-coloring (or labeling) of a graph G is a vertex coloring f : V (G) → Z+ ∪ {0} such that |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ 2 for all edges uv of G, and |f(u)−f(v)| ≥ 1 if d(u, v) = 2, where d(u, v) is the distance between vertices u and v in G. The span of an L(2, 1)-coloring is the maximum color (or label) assigned by it. The span of a graph G is the smallest integer λ such that there exists an L(2, 1)-coloring of G with span λ. An L(2, 1)-coloring of a graph with span equal to the span of...

Equitable coloring of Kneser graphs

Robert Fidytek, Hanna Furmańczyk, Paweł Żyliński (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Kneser graph K(n,k) is the graph whose vertices correspond to k-element subsets of set {1,2,...,n} and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they represent disjoint subsets. In this paper we study the problem of equitable coloring of Kneser graphs, namely, we establish the equitable chromatic number for graphs K(n,2) and K(n,3). In addition, for sufficiently large n, a tight upper bound on equitable chromatic number of graph K(n,k) is given. Finally, the cases of K(2k,k) and K(2k+1,k)...

Vertex coloring the square of outerplanar graphs of low degree

Geir Agnarsson, Magnús M. Halldórsson (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Vertex colorings of the square of an outerplanar graph have received a lot of attention recently. In this article we prove that the chromatic number of the square of an outerplanar graph of maximum degree Δ = 6 is 7. The optimal upper bound for the chromatic number of the square of an outerplanar graph of maximum degree Δ ≠ 6 is known. Hence, this mentioned chromatic number of 7 is the last and only unknown upper bound of the chromatic number in terms of Δ.

Generalized colorings and avoidable orientations

Jenő Szigeti, Zsolt Tuza (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Gallai and Roy proved that a graph is k-colorable if and only if it has an orientation without directed paths of length k. We initiate the study of analogous characterizations for the existence of generalized graph colorings, where each color class induces a subgraph satisfying a given (hereditary) property. It is shown that a graph is partitionable into at most k independent sets and one induced matching if and only if it admits an orientation containing no subdigraph from a family...
