平面图的强边染色

图$G$的强边染色是在正常边染色的基础上, 要求距离不超过$2$的任意两条边染不同的颜色, 强边染色所用颜色的最小整数称为图$G$的强边色数。本文首先给出极小反例的构型, 然后通过权转移法, 证明了$g(G)\geq5$, $\Delta(G)\geq6$且$5$-圈不相交的平面图的强边色数至多是$4\Delta(G)-1$。     

平面图的单射边染色

图G的k-单射边染色是指映射f:E(G)→{1,2,…,k},若e₁,e₂和e₃是G中的连续边,则f (e₁)≠f(e₃).称χ’_i(G)=min{k|G存在k-单射边染色}为图的单射边染色数.本文证明了:对g(G)≥6的平面图G,有χ’_i(G)≤3Δ(G)-2,对g(G)≥26且Δ(G)≤3的平面图G,有χ’_i(G)≤4,对g(G)≥16且Δ(G)≥4的平面图G,有χ’_i(G)≤Δ(G)+1,其中g(G)表示平面图G的围长.     

平面图和系列平行图的无圈边染色

图$G$的正常边染色称为无圈的, 如果图$G$中不含2-色圈, 图$G$的无圈边色数用$a''(G)$表示, 是使图$G$存在正常无圈边染色所需要的最少颜色数. Alon等人猜想: 对简单图$G$, 有$a''(G)\leq{\Delta(G)+2}$. 设图$G$是围长为$g(G)$的平面图, 本文证明了: 如果$g(G)\geq3$, 则$a''(G)\leq\max\{2\Delta(G)-2,\Delta(G)+22\}$; 如果 $g(G)\geq5$, 则$a''(G)\leq{\Delta(G)+2}$; 如果$g(G)\geq7$, 则$a''(G)\leq{\Delta(G)+1}$; 如果$g(G)\geq16$并且$\Delta(G)\geq3$, 则$a''(G)=\Delta(G)$; 对系列平行图$G$, 有$a''(G)\leq{\Delta(G)+1}$.     

围长不小于6且最大度至少为8的平面图的无圈列表边染色

对图G的一个正常边染色,如果图G的任何一个圈至少染三种颜色,则称这个染色为无圈边染色.若L为图G的一个边列表,对图G的一个无圈边染色φ,如果对任意e∈E(G)都有ф(e)∈L(e),则称ф为无圈L-边染色.用a′_(list)(G)表示图G的无圈列表边色数.证明若图G是一个平面图,且它的最大度△≥8,围长g(G)≥6,则a′_(list)(G)=△.     

围长至少为6的平面图的线性染色

如果图G的一个正常染色满足染任意两种颜色的顶点集合导出的子图是一些点不交的路的并,则称这个正常染色为图G的线性染色.图G的线性色数用lc(G)表示,是指G的所有线性染色中所用的最少颜色的个数.论文证明了对于每一个最大度为△(G)围长至少为6的平面图G有lc(G)≤「(Δ(G))/2]+3,并且当△(G)■{4,5,…,12}时, lc(G)≤「(Δ(G))/2」+2.     

围长至少为5的平面图的线性染色

如果图G的一个正常染色满足染任意两种颜色的顶点集合导出的子图是一些点不交的路的并,则称这个正常染色为图G的线性染色.图G的线性色数用lc(G)表示,是指G的所有线性染色中所用的最少颜色的个数本文证明了对于每一个最大度为△(G)且围长至少为5的平面图G有lc(G)≤[△(G)/2]+5,并且当△(G)∈{7,8,…,14...     

平面图的k-重(2k+2)-染色

G=(V,E)表示一个顶点集为V,边集为E的有限简单无向图.若存在映射φ:V(G)→Zk(n)(Zk(n)是由{1,2,…,n}的所有k-元子集构成的集合),满足:(A) uv∈E(G),有φ(u)∩φ(u)=θ,则称φ是G的一个k-重n-顶点染色.本文证明了奇围长至少为5k-7(k=4)或5k-9(k=6)的平面图G...     

不含短圈的平面图的2- 距离染色

图的2- 距离染色是将图中距离不超过2 的点对染不同的色. 本文证明了g(G) > 5 且Δ(G) > 18的平面图G 有(Δ + 6)-2- 距离染色.     

没有4-圈的平面图的BB-染色

设H为G的一个生成子图,(G,H)的一个BB-k染色是指一个映射f:V(G)→{1,2…,k},满足以下两条:(i)|f(u)-f(u)|≥1,uu∈E(G)\E(H).(ii)|f(u)-f(u)|≥2,uv∈E(H).定义(G,H)的BB-色数xb(G,H)为最小的整数k,使得(G,H)是BB-k可染的.本文证明了...     

可平面图的r-hued染色[英文]

令$k>0,r>0$是两个整数.图$G$的一个$r$-hued 染色是一个正常$k$-染色$\phi$使得每个度为$d(v)$的顶点$v$相邻至少$\textrm{min}\{d(v), r\}$个不同的颜色.图$G$的$r$-hued色数是使得$G$存在$r$-hued 染色的最小整数$k$,记为$\chi_r(G)$.文章证明了,若$G$为不含$i$-圈,$4\leq i\leq 9$,的可平面图, 则$ \chi_r(G)\leq r+5$.这一结果意味着对于无4-9圈的可平面图, $r$-hued 染色猜想成立.     

Strong edge-coloring for planar graphs with large girth

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a partition of its edge set $E$ into induced matchings. Let $G$ be a connected planar graph with girth $k\ge 26$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. We show that either $G$ is isomorphic to a subgraph of a very special $\Delta$-regular graph with girth $k$, or $G$ has a strong edge-coloring using at most $2\Delta +\lceil \frac{12(\Delta -2)}{k}\rceil$ colors.     

带松弛条件的图的强边着色

给定两个非负整数s和t,图G的(s,t)-松弛强k边着色可表示为映射c:E(G)→[k],这个映射满足对G中的任意一条边e,颜色c(e)在e的1-邻域中最多出现s次并且在e的2-邻域中最多出现t次.图G的(s,t)-松弛强边着色指数,记作x'(s,t)(G),表示使得图G有(s,t)-松弛强k边着色的最小k值.在图G中...     

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.

New upper bounds on linear coloring of planar graphs

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is linear if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is the union of vertex-disjoint paths. The linear chromatic number lc(G) of the graph G is the smallest number of colors in a linear coloring of G. In this paper, it is proved that every planar graph G with girth g and maximum degree Δ has(1)lc(G) ≤Δ 21 if Δ≥ 9; (2)lc(G) ≤「Δ/2」 + 7 ifg ≥ 5; (3) lc(G) ≤「Δ/2」 + 2 ifg ≥ 7 and Δ≥ 7.     

Strong edge-coloring of graphs with maximum degree 4 using 22 colors

In 1985, Erd?s and Ne?etril conjectured that the strong edge-coloring number of a graph is bounded above by when Δ is even and when Δ is odd. They gave a simple construction which requires this many colors. The conjecture has been verified for Δ?3. For Δ=4, the conjectured bound is 20. Previously, the best known upper bound was 23 due to Horak. In this paper we give an algorithm that uses at most 22 colors.

Star coloring planar graphs from small lists

A star coloring of a graph is a proper vertex‐coloring such that no path on four vertices is 2‐colored. We prove that the vertices of every planar graph of girth 6 (respectively 7, 8) can be star colored from lists of size 8 (respectively 7, 6). We give an example of a planar graph of girth 5 that requires 6 colors to star color. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 63: 324–337, 2010     

Flexibility of planar graphs of girth at least six

Let $G$ be a planar graph with a list assignment $L$. Suppose a preferred color is given for some of the vertices. We prove that if $G$ has girth at least six and all lists have size at least three, then there exists an $L$-coloring respecting at least a constant fraction of the preferences.     

On certain Hamiltonian cycles in planar graphs

The problem is considered under which conditions a 4-connected planar or projective planar graph has a Hamiltonian cycle containing certain prescribed edges and missing certain forbidden edges. The results are applied to obtain novel lower bounds on the number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles that must be present in a 5-connected graph that is embedded into the plane or into the projective plane with face-width at least five. Especially, we show that every 5-connected plane or projective plane triangulation on n vertices with no non-contractible cyles of length less than five contains at least distinct Hamiltonian cycles. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
