An adjacent vertex distinguishing total -coloring of a graph is a proper total -coloring of such that any pair of adjacent vertices have different sets of colors. The minimum number needed for such a total coloring of is denoted by . In this paper we prove that if , and in general. This improves a result in Huang et al.

It was conjectured by Mkrtchyan, Petrosyan and Vardanyan that every graph with has a maximum matching such that any two -unsaturated vertices do not share a neighbor. The results obtained in Mkrtchyan et al. (2010), Petrosyan (2014) and Picouleau (2010) leave the conjecture unknown only for -regular graphs with . All counterexamples for -regular graphs given in Petrosyan (2014) have multiple edges. In this paper, we confirm the conjecture for all -regular simple graphs and also -regular multigraphs with . 相似文献

For a subgraph of , let be the maximum number of vertices of that are pairwise distance at least three in . In this paper, we prove three theorems. Let be a positive integer, and let be a subgraph of an -connected claw-free graph . We prove that if , then either can be covered by a cycle in , or there exists a cycle in such that . This result generalizes the result of Broersma and Lu that has a cycle covering all the vertices of if . We also prove that if , then either can be covered by a path in , or there exists a path in such that . By using the second result, we prove the third result. For a tree , a vertex of with degree one is called a leaf of . For an integer , a tree which has at most leaves is called a -ended tree. We prove that if , then has a -ended tree covering all the vertices of . This result gives a positive answer to the conjecture proposed by Kano et al. (2012). 相似文献

The vertex arboricity of a graph is the minimum number of colors the vertices can be labeled so that each color class induces a forest. It was well-known that for every planar graph . In this paper, we prove that if is a planar graph without 7-cycles. This extends a result in [A. Raspaud, W. Wang, On the vertex-arboricity of planar graphs, European J. Combin. 29 (2008) 1064–1075] that for each , planar graphs without -cycles have . 相似文献

A -coloring of a graph with colors is a proper coloring of using colors in which each color class contains a color dominating vertex, that is, a vertex which has a neighbor in each of the other color classes. The largest positive integer for which has a -coloring using colors is the -chromatic number of . The -spectrum of a graph is the set of positive integers , for which has a -coloring using colors. A graph is -continuous if = the closed interval . In this paper, we obtain an upper bound for the -chromatic number of some families of Kneser graphs. In addition we establish that for the Kneser graph whenever . We also establish the -continuity of some families of regular graphs which include the family of odd graphs. 相似文献

A star edge-coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that every 2-colored connected subgraph of is a path of length at most 3. For a graph , let the list star chromatic index of , , be the minimum such that for any -uniform list assignment for the set of edges, has a star edge-coloring from . Dvo?ák et al. (2013) asked whether the list star chromatic index of every subcubic graph is at most 7. In Kerdjoudj et al. (2017) we proved that it is at most 8. In this paper we consider graphs with any maximum degree, we proved that if the maximum average degree of a graph is less than (resp. 3), then (resp. ). 相似文献

Let be a -connected graph of order . In [1], Bondy (1980) considered a degree sum condition for a graph to have a Hamiltonian cycle, say, to be covered by one cycle. He proved that if , then has a Hamiltonian cycle. On the other hand, concerning a degree sum condition for a graph to be covered by two cycles, Enomoto et al. (1995) [4] proved that if and , then can be covered by two cycles. By these results, we conjecture that if , then can be covered by two cycles. In this paper, we prove the case of this conjecture. In fact, we prove a stronger result; if is 2-connected with , then can be covered by two cycles, or belongs to an exceptional class. 相似文献

A proper edge coloring is neighbor-distinguishing if any two adjacent vertices have distinct sets consisting of colors of their incident edges. The minimum number of colors needed for a neighbor-distinguishing edge coloring is the neighbor-distinguishing index, denoted by . A graph is normal if it contains no isolated edges. Let be a normal graph, and let and denote the maximum degree and the chromatic index of , respectively. We modify the previously known techniques of edge-partitioning to prove that , which implies that . This improves the result in Wang et al. (2015), which states that for any normal graph. We also prove that when , is an integer with . 相似文献

The Erd?s–Gallai Theorem states that for , any -vertex graph with no cycle of length at least has at most edges. A stronger version of the Erd?s–Gallai Theorem was given by Kopylov: If is a 2-connected -vertex graph with no cycle of length at least , then , where . Furthermore, Kopylov presented the two possible extremal graphs, one with edges and one with edges.In this paper, we complete a stability theorem which strengthens Kopylov’s result. In particular, we show that for odd and all , every -vertex 2-connected graph with no cycle of length at least is a subgraph of one of the two extremal graphs or . The upper bound for here is tight. 相似文献
