Edge Chromatic 5-Critical Graphs
In this paper, we study the structure of 5-critical graphs in terms of their size. In particular, we have obtained bounds for the number of major vertices in several classes of 5-critical graphs, that are stronger than the existing bounds.
متن کاملThe chromatic numbers of double coverings of a graph
If we fix a spanning subgraph H of a graph G, we can define a chromatic number of H with respect to G and we show that it coincides with the chromatic number of a double covering of G with co-support H. We also find a few estimations for the chromatic numbers of H with respect to G.
متن کاملThe average degree of an edge-chromatic critical graph
A graph G with maximum degree and edge chromatic number ′(G)> is edge-critical if ′(G− e)= for every edge e of G. New lower bounds are given for the average degree of an edge-critical graph, which improve on the best bounds previously known for most values of . Examples of edge-critical graphs are also given. In almost all cases, there remains a large gap between the best lower bound known and ...
متن کاملOn the chromatic number of a random 5-regular graph
It was only recently shown by Shi and Wormald, using the differential equation method to analyse an appropriate algorithm, that a random 5-regular graph asymptotically almost surely has chromatic number at most 4. Here, we show that the chromatic number of a random 5-regular graph is asymptotically almost surely equal to 3, provided a certain four-variable function has a unique maximum at a giv...
متن کاملGroup Chromatic Number of Graphs without K5-Minors
Let G be a graph with a ®xed orientation and let A be a group. Let F G; A denote the set of all functions f : E G U 3 A. The graph G is A-colorable if for any function f P F G; A, there is a function c: V G U 3 A such that for every directed e uv P E G, c u À c v T f e. The group chromatic number v 1 G of a graph G is the minimum m such that G is A-colorable for any group A of...
