2-外平面图的无圈边色数

一个图G的无圈边染色是一个止常的边染色使得其不产生双色圈．Alon,Sudakov和Zaks（2001）猜想：每一个简单图G是无到（△（G）＋2）-边可染的,其中△（G）是G的最大度．本文对2-外平面图族证明了该猜想成立．     

不含4-,6-圈和相交三角形的平面图的无圈边色数

图G的一个边染色φ:E(G)→{1,2,…,k},若满足任意相邻边都染不同的颜色,且图G不存在双色圈,则称φ为图G的一个无圈k-边染色.图G的无圈边色数χ’_α(G)为使得图G有一个无圈k-边染色的最小正整数k.本文主要证明了对于无4-,6-圈且3-圈与3-圈不相交的平面图G,若Δ(G)≥9,则χ’_α(G)≤Δ(G)+1.     

图的围长与无圈边色数之间的关系

对于一个图G的正常边着色，如果此种边着色使得该图没有2—色的圈，那么这种边着色被称为是G的无圈边着色．用d(G)表示图G的无圈边色数，即G的无圈边着色中所使用的最小颜色数．Alon N，Sadakov B and Zaks A在[1]中有如下结果：对于围长至少是2000△(G)log△(G)的图G，有d(G)≤△ 2，其中△是图G的最大度．我们改进了这个结果，得到了如下结论：对于围长至少是700△(G)log△(G)的图G，有d(G)≤△ 2．     

不含K3的平面图最多是-4可着色的

提出了一种证明"四色猜想"的新思路.证明了"四色猜想"的一部分,即不含K3的平面图最多是-4可着色的,指出了另一部分的证明思路.     

1-平面图的结构性质及其在无圈边染色上的应用

一个图称为是1-平面的如果它可以画在一个平面上使得它的每条边最多交叉另外一条边.本文描述了任意1-平面图中小于等于7度点之邻域的局部结构,解决了由Fabrici和Madaras提出的两个关于1-平面图图类中轻图存在性的问题,证明了每个最大度是△的1-平面图G是无圈列表max{2△-2,△+83}-边可选的.     

极大外平面图的边面全色数

本文给出了△（Ｇ）≤６的极大外平面图的边面全色数，其中△（Ｇ）表示Ｇ的最大度。     

图的边对策着色和边对策色数

本文介绍了边对策着色,讨论了图G的边对策着色的性质.对几种特殊图类进行了讨论,分别确定链图,圈图及与圈有关的图,扇图,Petersen图的边对策色数.     

关于平面图的边着色猜想（英文）

在最大度为△的图G中，设γ表示能够△一边着色的边的最大部分，Albertson和Hass猜想：如果G是无桥平面图，且△=3和，则γ=1．我们对于n2=2证明了这个猜想为真．     

既不含4-圈又不含6-圈的平面图的非正常染色

设d₁, d₂,..., d_k是k个非负整数. 若图G=(V,E)的顶点集V能被剖分成k个子集V₁, V₂,...,V_k, 使得对任意的i=1, 2,..., k, V_i的点导出子图G[V_i] 的最大度至多为d_i, 则称图G是(d₁, d₂,...,d_k)-可染的. 本文证明既不含4-圈又不含6-圈的平面图是(3, 0, 0)-和(1, 1, 0)-可染的.     

不含5-圈和相邻6-圈的平面图的全染色

图的正常k-全染色是用k种颜色给图的顶点和边同时进行染色,使得相邻或者相关联的元素(顶点或边)染不同的染色.使得图G存在正常k-全染色的最小正整数k,称为图G的全色数,用χ″(G)表示.证明了若图G是最大度△≥6且不含5-圈和相邻6-圈的平面图,则χ″(G)=△+1.     

Acyclic edge coloring of planar graphs without adjacent cycles

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is said to be acyclic if there is no bicolored cycle in G.The acyclic edge chromatic number of G,denoted byχ′a(G),is the smallest number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of G.Let G be a planar graph with maximum degree.In this paper,we show thatχ′a(G)+2,if G has no adjacent i-and j-cycles for any i,j∈{3,4,5},which implies a result of Hou,Liu and Wu(2012);andχ′a(G)+3,if G has no adjacent i-and j-cycles for any i,j∈{3,4,6}.     

Acyclic edge coloring of graphs with maximum degree 4

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using k colors and is denoted by a′(G). It was conjectured by Alon, Sudakov, and Zaks that for any simple and finite graph G, a′(G)?Δ + 2, where Δ=Δ(G) denotes the maximum degree of G. We prove the conjecture for connected graphs with Δ(G)?4, with the additional restriction that m?2n?1, where n is the number of vertices and m is the number of edges in G. Note that for any graph G, m?2n, when Δ(G)?4. It follows that for any graph G if Δ(G)?4, then a′(G)?7. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 61: 192–209, 2009     

Acyclic edge colorings of graphs

A proper coloring of the edges of a graph G is called acyclic if there is no 2‐colored cycle in G. The acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by a′(G), is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of G. For certain graphs G, a′(G) ≥ Δ(G) + 2 where Δ(G) is the maximum degree in G. It is known that a′(G) ≤ 16 Δ(G) for any graph G. We prove that there exists a constant c such that a′(G) ≤ Δ(G) + 2 for any graph G whose girth is at least cΔ(G) log Δ(G), and conjecture that this upper bound for a′(G) holds for all graphs G. We also show that a′(G) ≤ Δ + 2 for almost all Δ‐regular graphs. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 37: 157–167, 2001

Acyclic edge coloring of triangle-free 1-planar graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is 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 coloring. A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, it is proved that χ a(G) ≤Δ(G) + 22, if G is a triangle-free 1-planar graph.     

不含相邻三角形的平面图的无圈边着色

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.     

Acyclic edge coloring of 2‐degenerate graphs

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using k colors and is denoted by a′(G). A graph is called 2‐degenerate if any of its induced subgraph has a vertex of degree at most 2. The class of 2‐degenerate graphs properly contains series–parallel graphs, outerplanar graphs, non ? regular subcubic graphs, planar graphs of girth at least 6 and circle graphs of girth at least 5 as subclasses. It was conjectured by Alon, Sudakov and Zaks (and much earlier by Fiamcik) that a′(G)?Δ + 2, where Δ = Δ(G) denotes the maximum degree of the graph. We prove the conjecture for 2‐degenerate graphs. In fact we prove a stronger bound: we prove that if G is a 2‐degenerate graph with maximum degree Δ, then a′(G)?Δ + 1. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 69: 1–27, 2012     

Acyclic edge colorings of planar graphs and seriesparallel graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called acyclic if there is no 2-colored cycle in G. The acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by a′(G), is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of G. Alon et al. conjectured that a′(G) ⩽ Δ(G) + 2 for any graphs. For planar graphs G with girth g(G), we prove that a′(G) ⩽ max{2Δ(G) − 2, Δ(G) + 22} if g(G) ⩾ 3, a′(G) ⩽ Δ(G) + 2 if g(G) ⩾ 5, a′(G) ⩽ Δ(G) + 1 if g(G) ⩾ 7, and a′(G) = Δ(G) if g(G) ⩾ 16 and Δ(G) ⩾ 3. For series-parallel graphs G, we have a′(G) ⩽ Δ(G) + 1.

Acyclic 5‐choosability of planar graphs without adjacent short cycles

The conjecture on acyclic 5‐choosability of planar graphs [Borodin et al., 2002] as yet has been verified only for several restricted classes of graphs. None of these classes allows 4‐cycles. We prove that a planar graph is acyclically 5‐choosable if it does not contain an i‐cycle adjacent to a j‐cycle where 3?j?5 if i = 3 and 4?j?6 if i = 4. This result absorbs most of the previous work in this direction. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 68:169‐176, 2011     

Acyclic 6-choosability of planar graphs without adjacent short cycles

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is acyclic if G contains no bicolored cycles.Given a list assignment L={L(v)|v∈V}of G,we say that G is acyclically L-colorable if there exists a proper acyclic coloringπof G such thatπ(v)∈L(v)for all v∈V.If G is acyclically L-colorable for any list assignment L with|L(v)|k for all v∈V(G),then G is acyclically k-choosable.In this paper,we prove that every planar graph G is acyclically 6-choosable if G does not contain 4-cycles adjacent to i-cycles for each i∈{3,4,5,6}.This improves the result by Wang and Chen(2009).
