چکیده

A strong oriented k-coloring of an oriented graph G is a homomorphism φ from G to H having k vertices labelled by the k elements of an abelian additive group M , such that for any pairs of arcs −→ uv and −→ zt of G, we have φ(v)−φ(u) 6= −(φ(t)−φ(z)). The strong oriented chromatic number χs(G) is the smallest k such that G admits a strong oriented k-coloring. In this paper, we consider the following problem: Let i ≥ 4 be an integer. Let G be an oriented planar graph without cycles of lengths 4 to i. What is the strong oriented chromatic number of G?

Strong Oriented Chromatic Number of Planar Graphs without Short Cycles

Let M be an additive abelian group. An M-strong-oriented coloring of an oriented graph G is a mapping φ from V (G) to M such that φ(u) 6= φ(v) whenever −→uv is an arc in G and φ(v)−φ(u) 6= −(φ(t)−φ(z)) whenever −→uv and zt are two arcs in G. The strong oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph is the minimal order of a group M such that G has an M-strong-oriented coloring. This notion was ...

On list vertex 2-arboricity of toroidal graphs without cycles of specific length

The vertex arboricity $rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic graph‎. ‎A graph $G$ is called list vertex $k$-arborable if for any set $L(v)$ of cardinality at least $k$ at each vertex $v$ of $G$‎, ‎one can choose a color for each $v$ from its list $L(v)$ so that the subgraph induced by ev...

Outerplanar and planar oriented cliques

The clique number of an undirected graphG is the maximum order of a complete subgraph of G and is a well-known lower bound for the chromatic number ofG. Every proper k-coloring of G may be viewed as a homomorphism (an edge-preserving vertex mapping) of G to the complete graph of order k. By considering homomorphisms of oriented graphs (digraphs without cycles of length at most 2), we get a natu...

Cycles in triangle-free graphs of large chromatic number

More than twenty years ago Erdős conjectured [4] that a triangle-free graph G of chromatic number k ≥ k0(ε) contains cycles of at least k2−ε different lengths as k →∞. In this paper, we prove the stronger fact that every triangle-free graph G of chromatic number k ≥ k0(ε) contains cycles of 1 64 (1− ε)k 2 log k4 consecutive lengths, and a cycle of length at least 14 (1− ε)k 2 log k. As there ex...

Planar Graphs Without Cycles of Specific Lengths

It is easy to see that planar graphs without 3-cycles are 3-degenerate. Recently, it was proved that planar graphs without 5-cycles are also 3-degenerate. In this paper it is shown, more surprisingly, that the same holds for planar graphs without 6-cycles.
