Improved upper bounds on acyclic edge colorings

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that every cycle contains edges of at least three distinct colors.The acyclic chromatic index of a graph G,denoted by a′(G),is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using k colors.It is known that a′(G)≤16△for every graph G where △denotes the maximum degree of G.We prove that a′(G)13.8△for an arbitrary graph G.We also reduce the upper bounds of a′(G)to 9.8△and 9△with girth 5 and 7,respectively.

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles.The acyclic edge chromatic number of a graph G is the minimum number k such that there exists an acyclic edge coloring using k colors and is denoted by χ’ a(G).In this paper we prove that χ ’ a(G) ≤(G) + 5 for planar graphs G without adjacent triangles.     

Upper Bounds on List Star Chromatic Index of Sparse Graphs

A star k-edge-coloring is a proper k-edge-coloring such that every connected bicolored subgraph is a path of length at most 3.The star chromatic indexχ'_st(G)of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that G has a star k-edge-coloring.The list star chromatic index ch'st(G)is defined analogously.The star edge coloring problem is known to be NP-complete,and it is even hard to obtain tight upper bound as it is unknown whether the star chromatic index for complete graph is linear or super linear.In this paper,we study,in contrast,the best linear upper bound for sparse graph classes.We show that for everyε>0 there exists a constant c(ε)such that if mad(G)<8/3-ε,then■and the coefficient 3/2 ofΔis the best possible.The proof applies a newly developed coloring extension method by assigning color sets with different sizes.     

A Note on Strong Edge Coloring of Sparse Graphs

A strong edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring where the edges at distance at most 2 receive distinct colors. The strong chromatic index χ'_s(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors used in a strong edge coloring of G. In an ordering Q of the vertices of G, the back degree of a vertex x of G in Q is the number of vertices adjacent to x, each of which has smaller index than x in Q. Let G be a graph of maximum degree Δ and maximum average degree at most 2 k. Yang and Zhu [J. Graph Theory, 83, 334–339(2016)] presented an algorithm that produces an ordering of the edges of G in which each edge has back degree at most 4 kΔ-2 k in the square of the line graph of G, implying that χ'_s(G) ≤ 4 kΔ-2 k + 1. In this note, we improve the algorithm of Yang and Zhu by introducing a new procedure dealing with local structures. Our algorithm generates an ordering of the edges of G in which each edge has back degree at most(4 k-1)Δ-2 k in the square of the line graph of G, implying that χ'_s(G) ≤(4 k-1)Δ-2 k + 1.     

Acyclic edge coloring of graphs with large girths

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called acyclic if there is no 2-colored cycle in G. The acyclic chromatic index of G, denoted by χ’a(G), is the least number of colors such that G has an acyclic edge k-coloring. Let G be a graph with maximum degree Δ and girth g(G), and let 1≤r≤2Δ be an integer. In this paper, it is shown that there exists a constant c > 0 such that if g(G)≥cΔ r log(Δ2/r) then χa(G)≤Δ + r + 1, which generalizes the result of Alon et al. in 2001. When G is restricted to series-parallel graphs, it is proved that χ’a(G) = Δ if Δ≥4 and g(G)≥4; or Δ≥3 and g(G)≥5.     

Acyclic Edge Coloring of 1-planar Graphs without 4-cycles

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles in G.The acyclic chromatic index χ’α(G) of G is the smallest k such that G has an acyclic edge coloring using k colors.It was conjectured that every simple graph G with maximum degree Δ has χ’_α(G) ≤Δ+2.A1-planar graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge.In this paper,we show that every 1-planar graph G without 4-cycles h...     

Vertex-distinguishing E-total Coloring of Complete Bipartite Graph K_(7,n) when 7≤n≤95

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called an E-total coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color, and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For an E-total coloring f of a graph G and any vertex x of G, let C(x) denote the set of colors of vertex x and of the edges incident with x, we call C(x) the color set of x. If C(u)≠ C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of V(G), then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET coloring of G is denoted by χ_(vt)~e(G) and is called the VDET chromatic number of G. The VDET coloring of complete bipartite graph K_(7,n)(7 ≤ n ≤ 95) is discussed in this paper and the VDET chromatic number of K_(7,n)(7 ≤ n ≤ 95) has been obtained.

Vertex-distinguishing IE-total Colorings of Complete Bipartite Graphs K8,n

Let G be a simple graph. An IE-total coloring f of G is a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. For each vertex x of G, let C(x) be the set of colors of vertex x and edges incident to x under f. For an IE-total coloring f of G using k colors, if C(u) 6= C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of G, then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing IE-total-coloring of G or a k-VDIET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDIET coloring of G is denoted by χievt(G) and is called vertex-distinguishing IE-total chromatic number or the VDIET chromatic number of G for short. The VDIET colorings of complete bipartite graphs K8,n are discussed in this paper. Particularly, the VDIET chromatic number of K8,n are obtained.     

Neighbor Sum Distinguishing Index of Sparse Graphs

A proper k-edge coloring of a graph G is an assignment of one of k colors to each edge of G such that there are no two edges with the same color incident to a common vertex. Let f(v) denote the sum of colors of the edges incident to v. A k-neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring of G is a proper k-edge coloring of G such that for each edge uv∈E(G), f(u)≠f(v). By χ'_∑(G), we denote the smallest value k in such a coloring of G. Let mad(G) denote the maximum average degree of a graph G. In this paper, we prove that every normal graph with mad(G) ■ and Δ(G) ≥ 8 admits a(Δ(G) + 2)-neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring. Our approach is based on the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz and discharging method.

On $f$-Edge Cover Chromatic Index of Multigraphs

Let $G$ be a multigraph with vertex set $V(G)$. Assume that a positive integer $f(v$) with $1 ≤ f(v) ≤ d(v)$ is associated with each vertex $v ∈ V$. An edge coloring of $G$ is called an $f$-edge cover-coloring, if each color appears at each vertex $v$ at least $f(v)$ times. Let $χ′_{fc}(G)$ be the maximum positive integer $k$ for which an $f$-edge cover-coloring with $k$ colors of $G$ exists. In this paper, we give a new lower bound of $χ′_{fc}(G)$, which is sharp.

Let G = （V, E） be a simple connected graph, and ｜V（G）｜ ≥ 2. Let f be a mapping from V（G） ∪ E（G） to {1,2…, k}. If arbitary uv ∈ E（G）,f（u） ≠ f（v）,f（u） ≠ f（uv）,f（v） ≠ f（uv）; arbitary uv, uw ∈ E（G）（v ≠ w）, f（uv） ≠ f（uw）;arbitary uv ∈ E（G） and u ≠ v, C（u） ≠ C（v）, where
C（u）={f（u）}∪{f（uv）｜uv∈E（G）}.
Then f is called a k-adjacent-vertex-distinguishing-proper-total coloring of the graph G（k-AVDTC of G for short）. The number min{k｜k-AVDTC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number and denoted by χat（G）. In this paper we prove that if △（G） is at least a particular constant and δ ≥32√△ln△, then χat（G） ≤ △（G） ＋ 10^26 ＋ 2√△ln△.

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called E-total-coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For E-total-coloring f of a graph G and any vertex u of G, let Cf （u） or C（u） denote the set of colors of vertex u and the edges incident to u. We call C（u） the color set of u. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V（G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total-coloring of G, or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET colorings of G is denoted by X^evt（G）, and it is called the VDET chromatic number of G. In this article, we will discuss vertex-distinguishing E-total colorings of the graphs mC3 and mC4.
