Distinguishing numbers of Cartesian products of multiple complete graphs

چکیده
We examine the distinguishing number of the Cartesian product of an arbitrary number of complete graphs. We show that for u1 ≤ · · · ≤ ud the distinguishing number of the Cartesian product of complete graphs of these sizes is either du d e or du 1/s d e + 1 where s = Πd−1 i=1 ui. In most cases, which of these values it is can be explicitly determined.

Different-Distance Sets in a Graph
A set of vertices $S$ in a connected graph $G$ is a different-distance set if, for any vertex $w$ outside $S$, no two vertices in $S$ have the same distance to $w$.The lower and upper different-distance number of a graph are the order of a smallest, respectively largest, maximal different-distance set.We prove that a different-distance set induces either a special type of path or an independent...
متن کاملDistinguishing colorings of Cartesian products of complete graphs
We determine the values of s and t for which there is a coloring of the edges of the complete bipartite graph Ks,t which admits only the identity automorphism. In particular this allows us to determine the distinguishing number of the Cartesian product of complete graphs. The distinguishing number of a graph is the minimum number of colors needed to label the vertices so that the only color pre...
متن کاملSharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs
In $1994,$ degree distance of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...
متن کاملThe distinguishing number of Cartesian products of complete graphs
The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has a labeling with d labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. We prove that Cartesian products of relatively prime graphs whose sizes do not differ too much can be distinguished with a small number of colors. We determine the distinguishing number of the Cartesian product Kk ¤Kn for all k and n, eith...
متن کاملDistinguishing Chromatic Number of Cartesian Products of Graphs
The distinguishing chromatic number χD (G) of a graph G is the least integer k such that there is a proper k-coloring of G which is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism of G. We study the distinguishing chromatic number of Cartesian products of graphs by focusing on how much it can exceed the trivial lower bound of the chromatic number χ(·). Our main result is that for every graph G, th...
