List coloring generalizes graph coloring by requiring the color of a vertex to be selected from a list of colors specific to that vertex. One refinement of list coloring, called choosability with separation, requires that the intersection of adjacent lists is sufficiently small. We introduce a new refinement, called choosability with union separation, where we require that the union of adjacent lists is sufficiently large. For , a -list assignment is a list assignment where for all vertices and for all edges . A graph is -choosable if there is a proper coloring for every -list assignment. We explore this concept through examples of graphs that are not -choosable, demonstrating sparsity conditions that imply a graph is -choosable, and proving that all planar graphs are -choosable and -choosable. 相似文献

An interval-coloring of a multigraph is a proper edge coloring with colors such that the colors of the edges incident with every vertex of are colored by consecutive colors. A cyclic interval-coloring of a multigraph is a proper edge coloring with colors such that the colors of the edges incident with every vertex of are colored by consecutive colors, under the condition that color is considered as consecutive to color . Denote by () and () the minimum and maximum number of colors in a (cyclic) interval coloring of a multigraph , respectively. We present some new sharp bounds on and for multigraphs satisfying various conditions. In particular, we show that if is a -connected multigraph with an interval coloring, then . We also give several results towards the general conjecture that for any triangle-free graph with a cyclic interval coloring; we establish that approximate versions of this conjecture hold for several families of graphs, and we prove that the conjecture is true for graphs with maximum degree at most . 相似文献

A strong -edge-coloring of a graph G is an edge-coloring with colors in which every color class is an induced matching. The strong chromatic index of , denoted by , is the minimum for which has a strong -edge-coloring. In 1985, Erd?s and Ne?et?il conjectured that , where is the maximum degree of . When is a graph with maximum degree at most 3, the conjecture was verified independently by Andersen and Horák, Qing, and Trotter. In this paper, we consider the list version of strong edge-coloring. In particular, we show that every subcubic graph has strong list-chromatic index at most 11 and every planar subcubic graph has strong list-chromatic index at most 10. 相似文献

The star chromatic index of a mulitigraph , denoted , is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of such that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored. A multigraph is star-edge-colorable if . Dvo?ák et al. (2013) proved that every subcubic multigraph is star 7-edge-colorable, and conjectured that every subcubic multigraph should be star 6-edge-colorable. Kerdjoudj, Kostochka and Raspaud considered the list version of this problem for simple graphs and proved that every subcubic graph with maximum average degree less than is star list-5-edge-colorable. It is known that a graph with maximum average degree is not necessarily star 5-edge-colorable. In this paper, we prove that every subcubic multigraph with maximum average degree less than is star 5-edge-colorable. 相似文献

Let be a simple connected graph and . An edge set is an -restricted edge cut if is disconnected and each component of contains at least vertices. Let be the minimum size of all -restricted edge cuts and , where is the set of edges with exactly one end vertex in and is the subgraph of induced by . A graph is optimal- if . An optimal- graph is called super -restricted edge-connected if every minimum -restricted edge cut is for some vertex set with and being connected. In this note, we give a characterization of super 2-restricted edge-connected vertex transitive graphs and obtain a sharp sufficient condition for an optimal- vertex transitive graph to be super 3-restricted edge-connected. In particular, a complete characterization for an optimal- minimal Cayley graph to be super 2-restricted edge-connected is obtained. 相似文献

A -list assignment of is a mapping which assigns to each vertex a set of permissible weights and to each edge a set of permissible weights. An -total weighting is a total weighting with for each . A graph is called -choosable if for every -list assignment of , there exists a proper -total weighting. It was proved in Tang and Zhu (2017) that if , a graph without isolated edges and with is -choosable. In this paper, we strengthen this result by showing that for any prime , a graph without isolated edges and with is -choosable. 相似文献

The decycling number of a graph is the smallest number of vertices which can be removed from so that the resultant graph contains no cycle. A decycling set containing exactly vertices of is called a -set. For any decycling set of a -regular graph , we show that , where is the cycle rank of , is the margin number of , and are, respectively, the number of components of and the number of edges in . In particular, for any -set of a 3-regular graph , we prove that , where is the Betti deficiency of . This implies that the decycling number of a 3-regular graph is . Hence for a 3-regular upper-embeddable graph , which concludes the results in [Gao et al., 2015, Wei and Li, 2013] and solves two open problems posed by Bau and Beineke (2002). Considering an algorithm by Furst et al., (1988), there exists a polynomial time algorithm to compute , the cardinality of a maximum nonseparating independent set in a -regular graph , which solves an open problem raised by Speckenmeyer (1988). As for a 4-regular graph , we show that for any -set of , there exists a spanning tree of such that the elements of are simply the leaves of with at most two exceptions providing . On the other hand, if is a loopless graph on vertices with maximum degree at most , then The above two upper bounds are tight, and this makes an extension of a result due to Punnim (2006). 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
