A note on on-line ranking number of graphs
A -ranking of a graph is a mapping such that each path with endvertices of the same colour contains an internal vertex with colour greater than . The ranking number of a graph is the smallest positive integer admitting a -ranking of . In the on-line version of the problem, the vertices of arrive one by one in an arbitrary order, and only the edges of the induced graph are known when the colour for the vertex has to be chosen. The on-line ranking number of a graph is the smallest...
