外平面图的邻点可区别Ⅰ-全染色（英文）

Let G be a simple graph with no isolated edge. An Ⅰ-total coloring of a graph G is a mapping φ : V(G) ∪ E(G) → {1, 2, ···, k} such that no adjacent vertices receive the same color and no adjacent edges receive the same color. An Ⅰ-total coloring of a graph G is said to be adjacent vertex distinguishing if for any pair of adjacent vertices u and v of G, we have C_φ(u) = C_φ(v), where C_φ(u) denotes the set of colors of u and its incident edges. The minimum number of colors required for an adjacent vertex distinguishing Ⅰ-total coloring of G is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing Ⅰ-total chromatic number, denoted by χ_at~i(G).In this paper, we characterize the adjacent vertex distinguishing Ⅰ-total chromatic number of outerplanar graphs.

An adjacent vertex distinguishing incidence coloring of graph G is an incidence coloring of G such that no pair of adjacent vertices meets the same set of colors.We obtain the adjacent vertex distinguishing incidence chromatic number of the Cartesian product of a path and a path,a path and a wheel,a path and a fan,and a path and a star.     

The total chromatic number of regular graphs of high degree

The total chromatic number χT (G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color the edges and the vertices of G so that incident or adjacent elements have distinct colors. We show that if G is a regular graph and d(G) 32 |V (G)| + 263 , where d(G) denotes the degree of a vertex in G, then χT (G) d(G) + 2.     

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.     

Vertex Distinguishing Equitable Total Chromatic Number of Join Graph

A vertex distinguishing equitable total coloring of graph G is a proper total coloring of graph G such that any two distinct vertices＇ coloring sets are not identical and the difference of the elements colored by any two colors is not more than 1. In this paper we shall give vertex distinguishing equitable total chromatic number of join graphs Pn VPn, Cn VCn and prove that they satisfy conjecture 3, namely, the chromatic numbers of vertex distinguishing total and vertex distinguishing equitable total are the same for join graphs Pn V Pn and Cn ∨ Cn.     

A sufficient condition for planar graphs with maximum degree 8 to be 9-totally colorable

A total k-coloring of a graph G is a coloring of V(G) ∪ E(G) using k colors such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total chromatic number χ'(G) is the smallest integer k such that G has a total k-coloring. It is known that if a planar graph G has maximum degree Δ≥ 9, then χ'(G) = Δ + 1. In this paper, we prove that if G is a planar graph with maximum degree 8 and without a fan of four adjacent 3-cycles, then χ'(G) = 9.     

Neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring of subcubic graphs

A proper edge-k-coloring of a graph G is a mapping from E(G) to {1, 2,..., k} such that no two adjacent edges receive the same color. A proper edge-k-coloring of G is called neighbor sum distinguishing if for each edge uv ∈ E(G), the sum of colors taken on the edges incident to u is different from the sum of colors taken on the edges incident to v. Let χ_Σ'(G) denote the smallest value k in such a coloring of G. This parameter makes sense for graphs containing no isolated edges(we call such graphs normal). The maximum average degree mad(G) of G is the maximum of the average degrees of its non-empty subgraphs. In this paper, we prove that if G is a normal subcubic graph with mad(G) 5/2,then χ_Σ'(G) ≤ 5. We also prove that if G is a normal subcubic graph with at least two 2-vertices, 6 colors are enough for a neighbor sum distinguishing edge coloring of G, which holds for the list version as well.     

The product of the restrained domination numbers of a graph and its complement

Let G=(V,E) be a graph.A set S■V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S.The restrained domination number of G,denoted γr(G),is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G.In this paper,we show that if G is a graph of order n≥4,then γr(G)γr(G)≤2n.We also characterize the graphs achieving the upper bound.     

1-planar Graphs without 4-cycles or 5-cycles are 5-colorable

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the Euclidean plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. A proper vertex k-coloring of a graph G is defined as a vertex coloring from a set of k colors such that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A graph that can be assigned a proper k-coloring is k-colorable. A cycle is a path of edges and vertices wherein a vertex is reachable from itself. A cycle contains k vertices and k edges is a k-cycle. In this paper, it is proved t...     

Acyclic 6-choosability of Planar Graphs without 5-cycles and Adjacent 4-cycles

A proper vertex coloring of a graph is acyclic if every cycle uses at least three colors. A graph G is acyclically k-choosable if for any list assignment L = {L(v) : v ∈ V(G)} with |L(v)| ≥ k for all v ∈ V(G), there exists a proper acyclic vertex coloring φ of G such that φ(v) ∈ L(v) for all v ∈ V(G). In this paper, we prove that if G is a planar graph and contains no 5-cycles and no adjacent 4-cycles, then G is acyclically 6-choosable.     

Total coloring of embedded graphs of maximum degree at least ten

A total k-coloring of a graph G is a coloring of V(G) ∪ E(G) using k colors such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color.The total chromatic number χ〃(G) is the smallest integer k such that G has a total k-coloring.In this paper,it is proved that the total chromatic number of any graph G embedded in a surface Σ of Euler characteristic χ(Σ)≥0 is Δ(G) + 1 if Δ(G)≥10,where Δ(G) denotes the maximum degree of G.     

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.     

Some Class 1 Graphs on g_c-colorings

An edge-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to all the edges of G.A g_c-coloring of a graph G is an edge-coloring of G such that each color appears at each vertex at least g(v)times.The maximum integer k such that G has a g_c-coloring with k colors is called the g_c-chromatic index of G and denoted by χ'g_c(G).In this paper,we extend a result on edge-covering coloring of Zhang and Liu in 2011,and give a new sufficient condition for a simple graph G to satisfy χ'g_c(G)=δ_g(G),where δ_g(G)=min_(v∈V(G) {└d(v)/g(v)┘ }).

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.     

Neighbor Sum Distinguishing Total Coloring of Triangle Free IC-planar Graphs

A graph is IC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once and two crossed edges share no common end-vertex.A proper total-k-coloring of G is called neighbor sum distinguishing if∑_c(u)≠∑_c(v)for each edge uv∈E(G),where∑_c(v)denote the sum of the color of a vertex v and the colors of edges incident with v.The least number k needed for such a total coloring of G,denoted byχ∑"is the neighbor sum distinguishing total chromatic number.Pilsniak and Wozniak conjecturedχ∑"(G)≤Δ(G)+3 for any simple graph with maximum degreeΔ(G).By using the famous Combinatorial Nullstellensatz,we prove that above conjecture holds for any triangle free IC-planar graph with△(G)≥7.Moreover,it holds for any triangle free planar graph withΔ(G)≥6.     

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 Colorings of Graphs with Maximum Average Degree Less Than 37/12

Let G be a graph and let its maximum degree and maximum average degree be denoted byΔ(G) and mad(G), respectively. A neighbor sum distinguishing k-edge colorings of graph G is a proper k-edge coloring of graph G such that, for any edge uv ∈ E(G), the sum of colors assigned on incident edges of u is different from the sum of colors assigned on incident edges of v. The smallest value of k in such a coloring of G is denoted by χ'∑≠(G). Flandrin et al. proposed the following conjecture thatχ'∑(G) ≤Δ(G) + 2 for any connected graph with at least 3 vertices and G≠C_5. In this paper, we prove that the conjecture holds for a normal graph with mad(G) 37/12 and Δ(G) ≥ 7.     

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.

A Roman dominating function on a graph G = (V, E) is a function f : V→{0, 1, 2} satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) - 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value (?). The minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on a graph G, denoted byγR(G), is called the Roman dominating number of G. In this paper, we will characterize a tree T withγR(T) =γ(T) 3.
