Minimum sum edge colorings of multicycles
In the minimum sum edge coloring problem, we aim to assign natural numbers to edges of a graph, so that adjacent edges receive different numbers, and the sum of the numbers assigned to the edges is minimum. The chromatic edge strength of a graph is the minimum number of colors required in a minimum sum edge coloring of this graph. We study the case of multicycles, defined as cycles with paralle...
متن کاملComplexity results for minimum sum edge coloring
In the Minimum Sum Edge Coloring problem we have to assign positive integers to the edges of a graph such that adjacent edges receive different integers and the sum of the assigned numbers is minimal. We show that the problem is (a) NP-hard for planar bipartite graphs with maximum degree 3, (b) NP-hard for 3-regular planar graphs, (c) NP-hard for partial 2-trees, and (d) APX-hard for bipartite ...
متن کاملOn the Enumeration of Bipartite Minimum Edge Colorings
For a bipartite graph G = (V,E), an edge coloring of G is a coloring of the edges of G such that any two adjacent edges are colored in different colors. In this paper, we consider the problem of enumerating all edge colorings with the fewest number of colors. We propose a simple polynomial delay algorithm whose amortized time complexity is O(|V |) per output, whereas the previous fastest algori...
متن کاملOn the Edge-Difference and Edge-Sum Chromatic Sum of the Simple Graphs
For a coloring $c$ of a graph $G$, the edge-difference coloring sum and edge-sum coloring sum with respect to the coloring $c$ are respectively $sum_c D(G)=sum |c(a)-c(b)|$ and $sum_s S(G)=sum (c(a)+c(b))$, where the summations are taken over all edges $abin E(G)$. The edge-difference chromatic sum, denoted by $sum D(G)$, and the edge-sum chromatic sum, denoted by $sum S(G)$, a...
متن کاملEdge pair sum labeling of spider graph
An injective map f : E(G) → {±1, ±2, · · · , ±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling of a graph G(p, q) if the induced vertex function f*: V (G) → Z − {0} defined by f*(v) = (Sigma e∈Ev) f (e) is one-one, where Ev denotes the set of edges in G that are incident with a vetex v and f*(V (G)) is either of the form {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±kp/2} or {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±k(p−1)/2} U {k(p+1)/2} accordin...
