For a nontrivial connected graph G, let c: V (G) → ℕ be a vertex coloring of G where adjacent vertices may be colored the same. For a vertex v of G, the neighborhood color set NC(v) is the set of colors of the neighbors of v. The coloring c is called a set coloring if NC(u) ≠ NC(v) for every pair u, v of adjacent vertices of G. The minimum number of colors required of such a coloring is called the set chromatic number x

For two vertices u and v of a connected graph G, the set I[u,v] consists of all those vertices lying on a u−v shortest path in G, while for a set S of vertices of G, the set I[S] is the union of all sets I[u,v] for u,v∈S. A set S is convex if I[S]=S. The convexity number con(G) of G is the maximum cardinality of a proper convex set of G. The clique number ω(G) is the maximum cardinality of a clique in G. If G is a connected graph of order n that is not complete, then n≥3 and 2≤ω(G)≤con(G)≤n−1. It is shown that for every triple l,k,n of integers with n≥3 and 2≤l≤k≤n−1, there exists a noncomplete connected graph G of order n with ω(G)=l and con(G)=k. Other results on convex numbers are also presented.

choice number of a graph G is the minimum integer k such that for every assignment of a set S(v) of k colors to every vertex v of G, there is a proper coloring of G that assigns to each vertex v a color from S(v). It is shown that the choice number of the random graph G(n, p(n)) is almost surely whenever . A related result for pseudo-random graphs is proved as well. By a special case of this result, the choice number (as well
as the chromatic number) of any graph on n vertices with minimum degree at least in which no two distinct vertices have more than common neighbors is at most .

A well-known and essential result due to Roy ([4], 1967) and independently to Gallai ([3], 1968) is that if D is a digraph with chromatic number χ(D), then D contains a directed path of at least χ(D) vertices. We generalize this result by showing that if ψ(D) is the minimum value of the number of the vertices in a longest directed path starting from a vertex that is connected to
every vertex of D, then χ(D) ≤ψ(D). For graphs, we give a positive answer to the following question of Fajtlowicz: if G is a graph with chromatic number χ(G), then for any proper coloring of G of χ(G) colors and for any vertex v∈V(G), there is a path P starting at v which represents all χ(G) colors.

A proper total coloring of a graph G such that there are at least 4 colors on those vertices and edges incident with a cycle of G, is called acyclic total coloring. The acyclic total chromatic number of G is the least number of colors in an acyclic total coloring of G. In this paper, it is proved that the acyclic total chromatic number of a planar graph G of maximum degree at least k and without l cycles is at most Δ(G) + 2 if (k, l) ∈ {(6, 3), (7, 4), (6, 5), (7, 6)}. 相似文献

Assume that G is a 3-colourable connected graph with e(G) = 2v(G) −k, where k≥ 4. It has been shown that s

−2, then G contains at most v(G) −k triangles; and the upper bound is attained only if G is a graph obtained by replacing each edge in the k-cycle C

Let G be a connected graph of order n and girth g. If dG(u) + dG(v) ≥ n − 2g + 5 for any two non-adjacent vertices u and v, then G is up-embeddable. Further more, the lower bound is best possible. Similarly the result of k-edge connected simple graph with girth g is also obtained, k = 2,3.

Given a graph G and an integer k, two players take turns coloring the vertices of G one by one using k colors so that neighboring vertices get different colors. The first player wins iff at the end of the game all the vertices of G are colored. The game chromatic number χg(G) is the minimum k for which the first player has a winning strategy. In this study, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of this parameter for a random graph Gn,p. We show that with high probability, the game chromatic number of Gn,p is at least twice its chromatic number but, up to a multiplicative constant, has the same order of magnitude. We also study the game chromatic number of random bipartite graphs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 2008 相似文献

A deBruijn sequence of orderk, or a k-deBruijn sequence, over an alphabet A is a sequence of length |A|k in which the last element is considered adjacent to the first and every possible k-tuple from A appears exactly once as a string of k-consecutive elements in the sequence. We will say that a cyclic sequence is deBruijn-like if for some k, each of the consecutive k-element substrings is distinct.A vertex coloring χ:V(G)→[k] of a graph G is said to be proper if no pair of adjacent vertices in G receive the same color. Let C(v;χ) denote the multiset of colors assigned by a coloring χ to the neighbors of vertex v. A proper coloring χ of G is irregular if χ(u)=χ(v) implies that C(u;χ)≠C(v;χ). The minimum number of colors needed to irregularly color G is called the irregular chromatic number of G. The notion of the irregular chromatic number pairs nicely with other parameters aimed at distinguishing the vertices of a graph. In this paper, we demonstrate a connection between the irregular chromatic number of cycles and the existence of certain deBruijn-like sequences. We then determine the exact irregular chromatic number of Cn and Pn for n≥3, thus verifying two conjectures given by Okamoto, Radcliffe and Zhang. 相似文献

Consider a simple random walk on a connected graph G=(V, E). Let C(u, v) be the expected time taken for the walk starting at vertex u to reach vertex v and then go back to u again, i.e., the commute time for u and v, and let C(G)=maxu, v∈VC(u, v). Further, let 𝒢(n, m) be the family of connected graphs on n vertices with m edges, , and let 𝒢(n)=∪m𝒢(n, m) be the family of all connected n‐vertex graphs. It is proved that if G∈(n, m) is such that C(G)=maxH∈𝒢(n, m)C(H) then G is either a lollipop graph or a so‐called double‐handled lollipop graph. It is further shown, using this result, that if C(G)=maxH∈𝒢(n)C(H) then G is the full lollipop graph or a full double‐handled lollipop graph with [(2n−1)/3] vertices in the clique unless n≤9 in which case G is the n‐path. ©2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A tree is called a k-tree if the maximum degree is at most k. We prove the following theorem, by which a closure concept for spanning k-trees of n-connected graphs can be defined.

(v) ≥ |G| − 1 − (k − 2)n, where |G| denotes the order of G. Then G has a spanning k-tree if and only if G + uv has a spanning k-tree. 相似文献

Given a simple plane graph G, an edge‐face k‐coloring of G is a function ? : E(G) ∪ F(G) → {1,…,k} such that, for any two adjacent or incident elements a, b ∈ E(G) ∪ F(G), ?(a) ≠ ?(b). Let χe(G), χef(G), and Δ(G) denote the edge chromatic number, the edge‐face chromatic number, and the maximum degree of G, respectively. In this paper, we prove that χef(G) = χe(G) = Δ(G) for any 2‐connected simple plane graph G with Δ (G) ≥ 24. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 相似文献

For a connected graph G and any two vertices u and v in G, let D(u,v) denote the length of a longest u-v path in G. A hamiltonian coloring of a connected graph G of order n is an assignment c of colors (positive integers) to the vertices of G such that |c(u)−c(v)|+D(u,v)≥n−1 for every two distinct vertices u and v in G. The value of a hamiltonian coloring c is the maximum color assigned to a vertex of G. The hamiltonian chromatic number of G is taken over all hamiltonian colorings c of G. In this paper we discuss the hamiltonian chromatic number of graphs G with . As examples, we determine the hamiltonian chromatic number for a class of caterpillars, and double stars. 相似文献

a vertex-distinguishing proper edge coloring of a simple graph G is denoted by c¢vd(G){\chi'_{vd}(G)}. It is proved that c¢vd(G) £ D(G)+5{\chi'_{vd}(G)\leq\Delta(G)+5} if G is a connected graph of order n ≥ 3 and

For an ordered set W = {w 1, w 2,..., w k} of vertices and a vertex v in a connected graph G, the representation of v with respect to W is the k-vector r(v|W) = (d(v, w 1), d(v, w 2),... d(v, w k)), where d(x, y) represents the distance between the vertices x and y. The set W is a resolving set for G if distinct vertices of G have distinct representations with respect to W. A resolving set for G containing a minimum number of vertices is a basis for G. The dimension dim(G) is the number of vertices in a basis for G. A resolving set W of G is connected if the subgraph 〈W〉 induced by W is a nontrivial connected subgraph of G. The minimum cardinality of a connected resolving set in a graph G is its connected resolving number cr(G). Thus 1 ≤ dim(G) ≤ cr(G) ≤ n?1 for every connected graph G of order n ≥ 3. The connected resolving numbers of some well-known graphs are determined. It is shown that if G is a connected graph of order n ≥ 3, then cr(G) = n?1 if and only if G = K n or G = K 1,n?1. It is also shown that for positive integers a, b with a ≤ b, there exists a connected graph G with dim(G) = a and cr(G) = b if and only if $\left( {a,b} \right) \notin \left\{ {\left( {1,k} \right):k = 1\;{\text{or}}\;k \geqslant 3} \right\}$ Several other realization results are present. The connected resolving numbers of the Cartesian products G × K 2 for connected graphs G are studied. 相似文献

Let G be a simple graph with n vertices. For any v ? V(G){v \in V(G)} , let N(v)={u ? V(G): uv ? E(G)}{N(v)=\{u \in V(G): uv \in E(G)\}} , NC(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC(G)= \min \{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and
uv \not ? E(G)}{uv \not \in E(G)\}} , and NC2(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC_2(G)= \min\{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and u and v has distance 2 in E(G)}. Let l ≥ 1 be an integer. A graph G on n ≥ l vertices is [l, n]-pan-connected if for any u, v ? V(G){u, v \in V(G)} , and any integer m with l ≤ m ≤ n, G has a (u, v)-path of length m. In 1998, Wei and Zhu (Graphs Combinatorics 14:263–274, 1998) proved that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [6, n]-pan-connected. They conjectured that such graphs should be [5, n]-pan-connected. In this paper, we prove that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC
2(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [5, n]-pan-connected. Consequently, the conjecture of Wei and Zhu is proved as NC
2(G) ≥ NC(G). Furthermore, we show that the lower bound is best possible and characterize all 2-connected graphs with NC
2(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1 which are not [4, n]-pan-connected. 相似文献

The Erdős-Sós conjecture says that a graph G on n vertices and number of edges e(G) > n(k− 1)/2 contains all trees of size k. In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for a graph to contain every tree of size k formulated in terms of the minimum edge degree ζ(G) of a graph G defined as ζ(G) = min{d(u) + d(v) − 2: uv ∈ E(G)}. More precisely, we show that a connected graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) ≥ k and minimum edge degree ζ(G) ≥ 2k − 4 contains every tree of k edges if d
