Distinguishing and Distinguishing Chromatic Numbers of Generalized Petersen Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Albertson and Collins defined the distinguishing number of a graph to be the smallest number of colors needed to color its vertices so that the coloring is preserved only by the identity automorphism. Collins and Trenk followed by defining the distinguishing chromatic number of a graph to be the smallest size of a coloring that is both proper and distinguishing. We show that, with two exceptions, generalized Petersen graphs are 2-distinguishable and properly 3-distinguishable.

The distinguishing chromatic number of bipartite graphs of girth at least six
The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic number $chi_{D}(G)$ of $G$ is defined similarly, where, in addition, $f$ is assumed to be a proper labeling. We prove that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of girth at least six with the maximum ...
متن کاملGraceful labelings of the generalized Petersen graphs
A graceful labeling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges is aninjection $f: V(G) rightarrow {0,1,ldots,m}$ such that the resulting edge labelsobtained by $|f(u)-f(v)|$ on every edge $uv$ are pairwise distinct. For natural numbers $n$ and $k$, where $n > 2k$, a generalized Petersengraph $P(n, k)$ is the graph whose vertex set is ${u_1, u_2, cdots, u_n} cup {v_1, v_2, cdots, v_n}$ and its edge set...
متن کاملOn computing the distinguishing and distinguishing chromatic numbers of interval graphs and other results
A vertex k-coloring of graph G is distinguishing if the only automorphism of G that preserves the colors is the identity map. It is proper-distinguishing if the coloring is both proper and distinguishing. The distinguishing number of G, D(G), is the smallest integer k so that G has a distinguishing k-coloring; the distinguishing chromatic number of G, χD(G), is defined similarly. It has been sh...
متن کاملOn Distinguishing and Distinguishing Chromatic Numbers of Hypercubes
The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has a labeling with d colors that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism. The restriction to proper labelings leads to the definition of the distinguishing chromatic number χD(G) of G. Extending these concepts to infinite graphs we prove that D(Qא0) = 2 and χD(Qא0) = 3, where Qא0 denotes the hypercube of cou...
متن کاملDistinguishing homomorphisms of infinite graphs
We supply an upper bound on the distinguishing chromatic number of certain infinite graphs satisfying an adjacency property. Distinguishing proper n-colourings are generalized to the new notion of distinguishing homomorphisms. We prove that if a graph G satisfies the connected existentially closed property and admits a homomorphism to H, then it admits continuum-many distinguishing homomorphism...
