Graphes cubiques d'indice trois,graphes cubiques isochromatiques,graphes cubiques d'indice quatre

The process introduced by E. Johnson [Amer. Math. Monthly73 (1966), 52–55] for constructing connected cubic graphs can be modified so as to obtain restricted classes of cubic graphs, in particular, those defined by their chromatic number or their chromatic index. We construct here the graphs of chromatic number three and the graphs whose chromatic number is equal to its chromatic index (isochromatic graphs). We then give results about the construction of the class of graphs of chromatic index four, and in particular, we construct an infinite class of “snarks.”     

On critical graphs with chromatic index 4

It is shown that the number of vertices of valency 2 in a critical graph with chromatic index 4 is at most 1/3 of the total number of vertices, and that there exist critical graphs with just one vertex of valency 2, but none with exactly two vertices of valency 2. From this bounds for the number of edges are deduced. The paper ends with a presentation of a catalogue of all critical graphs with chromatic index 4 and at most 8 vertices, and all simple critical graphs with chromatic index 4 and at most 10 vertices.     

On the strong chromatic index and maximum induced matching of tree-cographs,permutation graphs and chordal bipartite graphs

We show that there exist linear-time algorithms that compute the strong chromatic index and a maximum induced matching of tree-cographs when the decomposition tree is a part of the input. We also show that there exist efficient algorithms for the strong chromatic index of (bipartite) permutation graphs and of chordal bipartite graphs.     

子立方无爪图的单射边色数至多为6

设$G$是一个图. 图$G$的一个单射边染色是指图$G$的一个边染色, 使得距离为$2$的两条边或者在同一个三角形中的两条边染不同的颜色. 图$G$的单射边色数是指图$G$的任意单射边染色所需要的最少颜色数. 关于单射边色数有一个猜想: 任意一个子立方图的单射边色数都不超过$6$. 在本文中, 我们证明了这个猜想对子立方无爪图是成立的, 并且给出图例说明上界$6$是紧的. 同时, 我们的证明隐含了求解这类图不超过$6$种颜色的单射边染色方案的一个线性时间算法.

On small graphs critical with respect to edge colourings

A simple graph is said to be of class 1 or of class 2 according as its chromatic index equals the maximum degree or is one greater. A graph of class 2 is called critical if all its proper subgraphs have smaller chromatic index. It has been conjectured by Beineke and Wilson and by Jakobsen that all critical graphs have odd order. In this paper we verify the truth of this conjecture for all graphs of order less than 12 and all graphs of order 12 and maximum degree 3. We also determine all critical graphs through order 7.     

Distance edge-colourings and matchings

We consider a distance generalisation of the strong chromatic index and the maximum induced matching number. We study graphs of bounded maximum degree and Erd?s–Rényi random graphs. We work in three settings. The first is that of a distance generalisation of an Erd?s–Ne?et?il problem. The second is that of an upper bound on the size of a largest distance matching in a random graph. The third is that of an upper bound on the distance chromatic index for sparse random graphs. One of our results gives a counterexample to a conjecture of Skupień.

Colouring series-parallel graphs

Online coloring graphs with high girth and high odd girth

We give an upper bound for the online chromatic number of graphs with high girth and for graphs with high odd girth generalizing Kierstead’s algorithm for graphs that contain neither a C₃ or C₅ as an induced subgraph.     

Class 1 conditions depending on the minimum degree and the number of vertices of maximum degree

A graph is called Class 1 if the chromatic index equals the maximum degree. We prove sufficient conditions for simple graphs to be Class 1. Using these conditions we improve results on some edge-coloring theorems of Chetwynd and Hilton. We also improve a theorem concerning the 1-factorization of regular graphs of high degree.     

Star chromatic numbers of some planar graphs

The concept of the star chromatic number of a graph was introduced by Vince (A. Vince, Star chromatic number, J. Graph Theory 12 (1988), 551–559), which is a natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. This paper calculates the star chromatic numbers of three infinite families of planar graphs. More precisely, the first family of planar graphs has star chromatic numbers consisting of two alternating infinite decreasing sequences between 3 and 4; the second family of planar graphs has star chromatic numbers forming an infinite decreasing sequence between 3 and 4; and the third family of planar graphs has star chromatic number 7/2. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Total and fractional total colourings of circulant graphs

In this paper, the total chromatic number and the fractional total chromatic number of circulant graphs are studied. For cubic circulant graphs we give upper bounds on the fractional total chromatic number and for 4-regular circulant graphs we find the total chromatic number for some cases and we give the exact value of the fractional total chromatic number in most cases.
