路和平方路笛卡尔乘积图的r-多彩着色（英文）

图G的r-多彩k-着色是图G的一个正常k-着色,并满足G中的每一个顶点的邻点的颜色数至少为这个顶点的度d(v)和r的最小值.使得图G具有r-多彩k-着色的最小整数k称为图G的r-多彩色数,用X_r(G)表示.本文研究了路和平方路的笛卡尔乘积图的r-多彩着色,得出了其r-多彩色数的确切值.     

关于Mycielski图循环色数的猜想

通过引进Mycielski图点集的一类特殊划分,利用该划分在Mycielski图循环着色中的特点改进了如下猜想:完全图的Mycielski图的循环色数等于它的点色数.     

树均匀着色的一些结果(英文)

如果一个图的顶点集可以划分为基数尽可能相等的k个独立集,则称该图是可均匀k-着色的.本文得到树可均匀k-着色的一些条件;直径为4的树可均匀k-着色的一个充分必要条件和均匀色数表达式.     

Hadwiger猜想的一个等价命题

Hadwiger 猜想说:如果简单图 G 的色数为 k,那么它就含有能收缩到 k 点完全图 S_k 的子图.当 k=5时,这个猜想等价于平面地图四色定理.本文用满色集概念来给出Hadwiger 猜想的一个等价命题。当 k=5时,它也是平面地图四色定理的一个新的等价命题.     

星和轮的Mycielski图的[r,s,t]色数

给定非负整数r,s和t,若图G(V,E)有一个映射σ:V∪E→{0,1,…,k-1},k∈N,满足对V中相邻的点v_i,v_j有|σ(v_i)-σ(v_j)|≥r;对E中相邻的边e_i,e_j有|σ(e_i)-σ(e_j)|≥s;对V∪E中相关联的点v_i和边e_j有|σ(v_i)-σ(e_j)|≥t,则称σ为G的一个[r,s,t]-着色.使得图G存在使用了k种颜色的[r,s,t]-着色的最小整数k称为G的[r,s,t]-色数.研究星和轮的Mycielski图的[r,s,t]-着色,并给出其在一定条件下的[r,s,t]-色数.     

一类含有奇数个顶点的三色有向图本原指数上界

一个三色有向图D是本原的,当且仅当存在非负整数h、k和v,且h+k+v0,使得D中的每一对顶点(i,j)都存在从i到j的(h,k,v)-途径,h+k+v的最小值定义为三色有向图D的本原指数.研究了一类三色有向图,它的未着色图中包含2佗-4个顶点,一个n-圈、一个(n-2)-圈和一个2-圈,给出了本原指数上界.     

路与完全图的笛卡尔积图和广义图K(n,m)的关联色数

Richrd A.Brualdi和J.Quinn Massey在[1]中引入了图的关联着色概念,并且提出了关联着色猜想,即每一个图G都可以用△(G)+2种色正常关联着色.B.Guiduli[2]说明关联着色的概念是I.Algor和N.Alon[3]提出的有向星荫度的一个特殊情况,并证实[1]的关联着色猜想是错的,给出图G的关联色数的一个新的上界是△(G)+O(Log(△G)).[4]确定了某些特殊图类的关联色数.本文给出了路和完全图的笛卡尔积图的关联色数,而且利用此结果又确定了完全图Kn的广义图K(n,m)的关联色数.     

图的围长与无圈边色数之间的关系

对于一个图G的正常边着色，如果此种边着色使得该图没有2—色的圈，那么这种边着色被称为是G的无圈边着色．用d(G)表示图G的无圈边色数，即G的无圈边着色中所使用的最小颜色数．Alon N，Sadakov B and Zaks A在[1]中有如下结果：对于围长至少是2000△(G)log△(G)的图G，有d(G)≤△ 2，其中△是图G的最大度．我们改进了这个结果，得到了如下结论：对于围长至少是700△(G)log△(G)的图G，有d(G)≤△ 2．     

有向图的L(j,k)数的上界

给定正整数j≥k,有向图D的一个L(j,k)-标号是指从V(D)到非负整数集的一个函数f,使得当x在D中邻接到y时|f(x)-f(y)|≥j,当x在D中到y距离为二时|f(x)-f(y)|≥k.f的像元素称为标号.L(j,k)一标号问题就是确定(?)j,k-数(?)j,k(D),这个参数等于(?) max{f(x)|x∈V(D)},这里f取遍D的所有L(j,k)-标号.本文根据有向图的有向着色数及最长有向路的长度来研究(?)j,k-数,证明了:(1)对任何有向着色数为(?)(D)的有向图D,(?)j,k(D)≤((?)(D)-1)j;(2)对任何最长有向路的长度为l的有向图D,如果不含有向圈或者D中最长有向圈长度为l 1,则(?)j,k(D)≤lj.并且这两个界都是可达的.最后我们对l=3的有向图给出了3j-L(j,k)-labelling的一个有效算法.     

联图的关联着色

图G的一个κ-关联着色是指从G的关联集I(G)到颜色集{1,2,…,κ}的一个映射,满足任意一对相邻的关联分配到不同的颜色.使得G有κ-关联着色的最小的数κ称为G的关联色数,记为X_i(G).研究了联图的关联着色,给出了G∨H的关联色数的一个上界,讨论了路与路,路与圈,圈与圈的联图的关联色数.     

Defective coloring revisited

A graph is (k, d)-colorable if one can color the vertices with k colors such that no vertex is adjacent to more than d vertices of its same color. In this paper we investigate the existence of such colorings in surfaces and the complexity of coloring problems. It is shown that a toroidal graph is (3, 2)- and (5, 1)-colorable, and that a graph of genus γ is (χ_γ/(d + 1) + 4, d)-colorable, where χ_γ is the maximum chromatic number of a graph embeddable on the surface of genus γ. It is shown that the (2, k)-coloring, for k ≥ 1, and the (3, 1)-coloring problems are NP-complete even for planar graphs. In general graphs (k, d)-coloring is NP-complete for k ≥ 3, d ≥ 0. The tightness is considered. Also, generalizations to defects of several algorithms for approximate (proper) coloring are presented. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

阿基米德图的面唯一极大染色

给定平面图G的一个正常κ-顶点染色φ:V(G)→{1,2,…,κ},若对G的每个面f,与f关联的顶点所染颜色的极大颜色在与f关联的顶点中仅出现一次,则称φ是图G的面唯一极大κ-染色.图G存在面唯一极大κ-染色的κ的最小值称为G的面唯一极大色数,记作χfum(G).本文研究了阿基米德图的面唯一极大色数,证得若图G是阿基米德图,则χfum(G)=4.     

推广的奇轮的圆色数

图G的圆色数(又称"星色数")xc(G)是Vince在1988年提出的,它是图的色数 的自然推广.本文由奇轮出发构造了一族平面图,并证明了此类图的圆色数恰恰介于2和 3之间,填补了该领域的空白.     

On the Hardness of Approximating the Chromatic Number

k -colorable for some fixed . Our main result is that it is NP-hard to find a 4-coloring of a 3-chromatic graph. As an immediate corollary we obtain that it is NP-hard to color a k-chromatic graph with at most colors. We also give simple proofs of two results of Lund and Yannakakis [20]. The first result shows that it is NP-hard to approximate the chromatic number to within for some fixed ε > 0. We point here that this hardness result applies only to graphs with large chromatic numbers. The second result shows that for any positive constant h, there exists an integer , such that it is NP-hard to decide whether a given graph G is -chromatic or any coloring of G requires colors.

关于图的3-条件色数

For integers k0,r0,a(k,r)-coloring of a graph G is a proper k-coloring of the vertices such that every vertex of degree d is adjacent to vertices with at least min{d,r}diferent colors.The r-hued chromatic number,denoted byχr(G),is the smallest integer k for which a graph G has a(k,r)-coloring.Define a graph G is r-normal,ifχr(G)=χ(G).In this paper,we present two sufcient conditions for a graph to be 3-normal,and the best upper bound of 3-hued chromatic number of a certain families of graphs.     

超图的强星色数

图的星色数的概念是由Ａ．Ｖｉｎｃｅ（１９８８）首次提出来的,它是图的色数的一个自然而又重要的推广,Ｌ．Ｈａｄａｄ等人（１９９４）将这一概念推广到一致超图,定义了ｈ－一致超图的强（弱）星色数,这里我们给出一般超图的强星色数的概念,研究了它的基本性质,计算了３－一致循环超图的强星色数,它们的强星色数形成了一个严格介于３和４之间的递减序列．     

The chromatic number of oriented graphs

We introduce in this paper the notion of the chromatic number of an oriented graph G (that is of an antisymmetric directed graph) defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph H such that G admits a homomorphism to H. We study the chromatic number of oriented k-trees and of oriented graphs with bounded degree. We show that there exist oriented k-trees with chromatic number at least 2^k+1 - 1 and that every oriented k-tree has chromatic number at most (k + 1) × 2^k. For 2-trees and 3-trees we decrease these upper bounds respectively to 7 and 16 and show that these new bounds are tight. As a particular case, we obtain that oriented outerplanar graphs have chromatic number at most 7 and that this bound is tight too. We then show that every oriented graph with maximum degree k has chromatic number at most (2k - 1) × 2^2k-2. For oriented graphs with maximum degree 2 we decrease this bound to 5 and show that this new bound is tight. For oriented graphs with maximum degree 3 we decrease this bound to 16 and conjecture that there exists no such connected graph with chromatic number greater than 7. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

推广的Mycielski图和类推广的Mycielski图的(邻点可区别的)全染色

Mycielski图是在1955年由Mycielski首先提出的,推广的Mycielski图是在2003年由Peter Che Bor Lam,林文松等给出的Mycielski图的一个自然推广,且研究了它的圆色数.目前关于推广的Mycielski图性质以及它们在点色数,分数色数,圆色数等方面已有许多研究.本文定义了推广的Mycielski图的另一推广称为类推广的Mycielski图,且探讨了推广的Mycielski图和类推广的Mycielski图在全染色、邻点可区别全染色方面与原基础图的关系,从而也得到了它们满足全染色猜想和邻点可区别全染色猜想及它们达到全色数和邻点可区别的全色数的下界的一些充分条件.     

Claw‐free circular‐perfect graphs

The circular chromatic number of a graph is a well‐studied refinement of the chromatic number. Circular‐perfect graphs form a superclass of perfect graphs defined by means of this more general coloring concept. This article studies claw‐free circular‐perfect graphs. First, we prove that if G is a connected claw‐free circular‐perfect graph with χ(G)>ω(G), then min{α(G), ω(G)}=2. We use this result to design a polynomial time algorithm that computes the circular chromatic number of claw‐free circular‐perfect graphs. A consequence of the strong perfect graph theorem is that minimal imperfect graphs G have min{α(G), ω(G)}=2. In contrast to this result, it is shown in Z. Pan and X. Zhu [European J Combin 29(4) (2008), 1055–1063] that minimal circular‐imperfect graphs G can have arbitrarily large independence number and arbitrarily large clique number. In this article, we prove that claw‐free minimal circular‐imperfect graphs G have min{α(G), ω(G)}≤3. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 65: 163–172, 2010     

Oriented coloring of triangle-free planar graphs and 2-outerplanar graphs

A graph is 2-outerplanar if it has a planar embedding such that the subgraph obtained by removing the vertices of the external face is outerplanar (i.e. with all its vertices on the external face). An oriented k-coloring of an oriented graph G is a homomorphism from G to an oriented graph H of order k. We prove that (1) every oriented triangle-free planar graph has an oriented chromatic number at most 40, and (2) every oriented 2-outerplanar graph has an oriented chromatic number at most 40, that improves the previous known bounds of 47 and 67, respectively.
