关于积图点可区别边染色的若干结论

如果图G的一个正常边染色满足任意两个不同点的关联边色集不同, 则称为点可区别边染色(VDEC), 其所用最少颜色数称为点可区别边色数. 利用构造法给出了积图点可区别边染色的一个结论, 得到了关于积图点可区别边色数的若干结果, 并且给出25个具体积图的点可区别边色数, 验证了它们满足点可区别边染色猜想(VDECC).     

图的Smarandachely邻点边色数的界

对图G的一个k-正常变染色法f,若图G中任意相邻两点的相邻边色集合互相不包含,那么称f为图G的一个k-Smarandachely邻点边染色(简记为k-SEC),而最小的正整数k称为图G的Smarandachely邻点边色数.尝试应用Lovasz局部引理来得到了Smarandachely邻点边色数的上界.     

5连通图中的可去边

An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be a removable edge if G O e is still k-connected, where G e denotes the graph obtained from G by deleting e to get G - e, and for any end vertex of e with degree k - 1 in G- e, say x, delete x, and then add edges between any pair of non-adjacent vertices in NG-e （x）. The existence of removable edges of k-connected graphs and some properties of 3-connected and 4-connected graphs have been investigated [1, 11, 14, 15]. In the present paper, we investigate some properties of 5-connected graphs and study the distribution of removable edges on a cycle and a spanning tree in a 5- connected graph. Based on the properties, we proved that for a 5-connected graph G of order at least 10, if the edge-vertex-atom of G contains at least three vertices, then G has at least （3│G│ ＋ 2）/2 removable edges.     

图K_(3,4)∨K_t的点可区别正常边染色

设f是图G的一个正常边染色.对任意x∈V(G),令S(x)表示与点x相关联的边的颜色所构成的集合.若对任意u,v∈V(G),u≠v,有S(u)≠S(v),则称f是图G的一个点可区别正常边染色.对一个图G进行点可区别正常边染色所需的最少的颜色的数目称为G的点可区别正常边色数,记为χ_s'(G).讨论了图K_(3,4)∨K_t的点可区别正常边染色及其色数,利用正多边形的对称性构造染色以及组合分析的方法,确定了图K_(3,4)∨K_t的点可区别正常边色数,得到了当t是大于等于2的偶数以及t是奇数且3≤t≤25时,χ_s'(K_(3,4)∨K_t)=t+7;当t是奇数且t≥27时,χ_s'(K_(3,4)∨K_t)=t+8.     

Upper bounds on vertex distinguishing chromatic index of some Halin graphs

A vertex distinguishing edge coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G such that any pair of vertices has the distinct sets of colors. The minimum number of colors required for a vertex distinguishing edge coloring of a graph G is denoted by ???? _s (G). In this paper, we obtained upper bounds on the vertex distinguishing chromatic index of 3-regular Halin graphs and Halin graphs with ??(G) ?? 4, respectively.     

点可迁图中的正则因子

设图G是一个K-正则连通点可迁图.如果G不是极大限制性边连通的,那么G含有一个(k-1)-因子,它的所有分支都同构于同一个阶价于k和2k-3之间的点可迁图.此结果在某种程度上加强了Watkins的相应命题:如果k正则点可迁图G不是k连通的,那么G有一个因子,它的每一个分支都同构于同一个点可迁图.     

A polynomial algorithm for finding (g,f)-colorings orthogonal to stars in bipartite graphs

Let G be a bipartite graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G), and let g and f be two nonnegative integer-valued functions defined on V(G) such that g(x)≤ f(x) for every vertex x of V(G). A (g. f)-coloring of G is a generalized edge-coloring in which each color appears at each vertex x at least g(x) and at most f(x) times. In this paper a polynomial algorithm to find a (g. f)-coloring of a bipartite graph with some constraints using the minimum number of colors is given. Furthermore, we show that the results in this paper are best possible.

A local structure theorem on 5‐connected graphs

An edge of a 5‐connected graph is said to be contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a 5‐connected graph. Let x be a vertex of a 5‐connected graph. We prove that if there are no contractible edges whose distance from x is two or less, then either there are two triangles with x in common each of which has a distinct degree five vertex other than x, or there is a specified structure called a K₄^?‐configuration with center x. As a corollary, we show that if a 5‐connected graph on n vertices has no contractible edges, then it has 2n/5 vertices of degree 5. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On the minimum semidefinite rank of a simple graph

The minimum semidefinite rank (msr) of a graph is defined to be the minimum rank among all positive semidefinite matrices whose zero/nonzero pattern corresponds to that graph. We recall some known facts and present new results, including results concerning the effects of vertex or edge removal from a graph on msr.     

On the adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring if there is no 2-colored cycle in G and the coloring set of edges incident with u is not equal to the coloring set of edges incident with v, where uv ∈ E(G). The adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by x′ _Aa (G), is the minimal number of colors in an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of G. If a graph G has an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring, then G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic. In this paper, we obtain adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs and put forward some conjectures.     

Characterization of edge‐transitive 4‐valent bicirculants

A bicirculant is a graph admitting an automorphism with exactly two vertex‐orbits of equal size. All non‐isomorphic 4‐valent edge‐transitive bicirculants are characterized in this article. As a corollary, a characterization of 4‐valent arc‐transitive dihedrants is obtained. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory.     

General properties of some families of graphs defined by systems of equations

In this paper we present a simple method for constructing infinite families of graphs defined by a class of systems of equations over commutative rings. We show that the graphs in all such families possess some general properties including regularity and biregularity, existence of special vertex colorings, and existence of covering maps—hence, embedded spectra—between every two members of the same family. Another general property, recently discovered, is that nearly every graph constructed in this manner edge‐decomposes either the complete, or complete bipartite, graph which it spans. In many instances, specializations of these constructions have proved useful in various graph theory problems, but especially in many extremal problems. A short survey of the related results is included. We also show that the edge‐decomposition property allows one to improve existing lower bounds for some multicolor Ramsey numbers. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 38: 65–86, 2001     

On Compatible Normal Odd Partitions in Cubic Graphs

A normal odd partition of the edges of a cubic graph is a partition into trails of odd length (no repeated edge) such that each vertex is the end vertex of exactly one trail of the partition and internal in some trail. For each vertex v, we can distinguish the edge for which this vertex is pending. Three normal odd partitions are compatible whenever these distinguished edges are distinct for each vertex. We examine this notion and show that a cubic 3‐edge‐colorable graph can always be provided with three compatible normal odd partitions. The Petersen graph has this property and we can construct other cubic graphs with chromatic index four with the same property. Finally, we propose a new conjecture which, if true, would imply the well‐known Fan and Raspaud Conjecture.     

Odd 4‐edge‐colorability of graphs

An odd k‐edge‐coloring of a graph G is a (not necessarily proper) edge‐coloring with at most k colors such that each nonempty color class induces a graph in which every vertex is of odd degree. Pyber (1991) showed that every simple graph is odd 4‐edge‐colorable, and Lužar et al. (2015) showed that connected loopless graphs are odd 5‐edge‐colorable, with one particular exception that is odd 6‐edge‐colorable. In this article, we prove that connected loopless graphs are odd 4‐edge‐colorable, with two particular exceptions that are respectively odd 5‐ and odd 6‐edge‐colorable. Moreover, a color class can be reduced to a size at most 2.
