A star edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that every connected 2-colored subgraph is a path with at most 3 edges. Deng et al. and Bezegová et al. independently show that the star chromatic index of a tree with maximum degree is at most , which is tight. In this paper, we study the list star edge coloring of -degenerate graphs. Let be the list star chromatic index of : the minimum such that for every -list assignment for the edges, has a star edge coloring from . By introducing a stronger coloring, we show with a very concise proof that the upper bound on the star chromatic index of trees also holds for list star chromatic index of trees, i.e. for any tree with maximum degree . And then by applying some orientation technique we present two upper bounds for list star chromatic index of -degenerate graphs. 相似文献

Let denote the maximum average degree (over all subgraphs) of G and let χi(G) denote the injective chromatic number of G. We prove that if , then χi(G)≤Δ(G)+1; and if , then χi(G)=Δ(G). Suppose that G is a planar graph with girth g(G) and Δ(G)≥4. We prove that if g(G)≥9, then χi(G)≤Δ(G)+1; similarly, if g(G)≥13, then χi(G)=Δ(G). 相似文献

For integers , a -coloring of a graph is a proper coloring with at most colors such that for any vertex with degree , there are at least min different colors present at the neighborhood of . The -hued chromatic number of , , is the least integer such that a -coloring of exists. The list-hued chromatic number of is similarly defined. Thus if , then . We present examples to show that, for any sufficiently large integer , there exist graphs with maximum average degree less than 3 that cannot be -colored. We prove that, for any fraction , there exists an integer such that for each , every graph with maximum average degree is list -colorable. We present examples to show that for some there exist graphs with maximum average degree less than 4 that cannot be -hued colored with less than colors. We prove that, for any sufficiently small real number , there exists an integer such that every graph with maximum average degree satisfies . These results extend former results in Bonamy et al.

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. 相似文献

A linear coloring is a proper coloring such that each pair of color classes induces a union of disjoint paths. We study the linear list chromatic number, denoted , of sparse graphs. The maximum average degree of a graph G, denoted mad(G), is the maximum of the average degrees of all subgraphs of G. It is clear that any graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) satisfies . In this paper, we prove the following results: (1) if and Δ(G)≥3, then , and we give an infinite family of examples to show that this result is best possible; (2) if and Δ(G)≥9, then , and we give an infinite family of examples to show that the bound on cannot be increased in general; (3) if G is planar and has girth at least 5, then . 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 star chromatic index of a multigraph G, denoted , is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of G such that no path or cycle of length four is bicolored. A multigraph G is star k‐edge‐colorable if . Dvořák, Mohar, and Šámal [Star chromatic index, J. Graph Theory 72 (2013), 313–326] proved that every subcubic multigraph is star 7‐edge‐colorable. They conjectured in the same article that every subcubic multigraph should be star 6‐edge‐colorable. In this article, we first prove that it is NP‐complete to determine whether for an arbitrary graph G. This answers a question of Mohar. We then establish some structure results on subcubic multigraphs G with such that but for any , where . We finally apply the structure results, along with a simple discharging method, to prove that every subcubic multigraph G is star 6‐edge‐colorable if , and star 5‐edge‐colorable if , respectively, where is the maximum average degree of a multigraph G. This partially confirms the conjecture of Dvořák, Mohar, and Šámal. 相似文献

The excess of a graph G is defined as the minimum number of edges that must be deleted from G in order to get a forest. We prove that every graph with excess at most k has chromatic number at most and that this bound is tight. Moreover, we prove that the oriented chromatic number of any graph with excess k is at most k+3, except for graphs having excess 1 and containing a directed cycle on 5 vertices which have oriented chromatic number 5. This bound is tight for k?4. 相似文献

The strong chromatic index of a graph G is the minimum integer k such that the edge set of G can be partitioned into k induced matchings. Faudree et al. [R.J. Faudree, R.H. Schelp, A. Gyárfás, Zs. Tuza, The strong chromatic index of graphs, Ars Combin. 29B (1990) 205-211] proposed an open problem: If G is bipartite and if for each edge xy∈E(G), d(x)+d(y)≤5, then sχ′(G)≤6. Let H0 be the graph obtained from a 5-cycle by adding a new vertex and joining it to two nonadjacent vertices of the 5-cycle. In this paper, we show that if G (not necessarily bipartite) is not isomorphic to H0 and d(x)+d(y)≤5 for any edge xy of G then sχ′(G)≤6. The proof of the result implies a linear time algorithm to produce a strong edge coloring using at most 6 colors for such graphs. 相似文献

Circle graphs with girth at least five are known to be 2-degenerate [A.A. Ageev, Every circle graph with girth at least 5 is 3-colourable, Discrete Math. 195 (1999) 229-233]. In this paper, we prove that circle graphs with girth at least g≥5 and minimum degree at least two contain a chain of g−4 vertices of degree two, which implies Ageev’s result in the case g=5. We then use this structural property to give an upper bound on the circular chromatic number of circle graphs with girth at least g≥5 as well as a precise estimate of their maximum average degree. 相似文献
