Note on highly connected monochromatic subgraphs in 2-colored complete graphs.
A graph is called improperly -colorable if the vertex set can be partitioned into subsets such that the graph induced by the vertices of has maximum degree at most for all . In this paper, we mainly study the improper coloring of -planar graphs and show that -planar graphs with girth at least are -colorable.
In this paper we characterize -chromatic graphs without isolated vertices and connected -chromatic graphs having a minimal number of edges.
Chartrand and Kronk in 1969 showed that there are planar graphs whose vertices cannot be partitioned into two parts inducing acyclic subgraphs. In this note we show that the same is true even in the case when one of the partition classes is required to be triangle-free only.
We generalize the methods of Esperet and Zhu [6] providing an upper bound for the game colouring number of squares of graphs to obtain upper bounds for the game colouring number of m-th powers of graphs, m ≥ 3, which rely on the maximum degree and the game colouring number of the underlying graph. Furthermore, we improve these bounds in case the underlying graph is a forest.
For a connected graph G of order n ≥ 3, let f: E(G) → ℤₙ be an edge labeling of G. The vertex labeling f’: V(G) → ℤₙ induced by f is defined as , where the sum is computed in ℤₙ. If f’ is one-to-one, then f is called a modular edge-graceful labeling and G is a modular edge-graceful graph. A modular edge-graceful labeling f of G is nowhere-zero if f(e) ≠ 0 for all e ∈ E(G) and in this case, G is a nowhere-zero modular edge-graceful graph. It is shown that a connected graph G of order n ≥ 3 is nowhere-zero...
A graph is called -choosable if for every list assignment satisfying for all , there is an -coloring of such that each vertex of has at most neighbors colored with the same color as itself. In this paper, it is proved that every toroidal graph without chordal 7-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles is -choosable.
What is the least number of colours which can be used to colour all points of the real Euclidean plane so that no two points which are unit distance apart have the same colour? This well known problem, open more than 25 years is studied in the paper. Some partial results and open subproblems are presented.
