Determining the Chromatic Number of a Graph
نویسنده
چکیده
Certain branch-and-bound algorithms for determining the chromatic number of a graph are proved usually to take a number of steps which grows faster than exponentially with the number of vertices in the graph. A similar result holds for the number of steps in certain proofs of lower bounds for chromatic numbers. Key words, graph, chromatic number, algorithm, proof

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 کاملComputing Multiplicative Zagreb Indices with Respect to Chromatic and Clique Numbers
The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...
متن کاملChromatic polynomials of some nanostars
Let G be a simple graph and (G,) denotes the number of proper vertex colourings of G with at most colours, which is for a fixed graph G , a polynomial in , which is called the chromatic polynomial of G . Using the chromatic polynomial of some specific graphs, we obtain the chromatic polynomials of some nanostars.
متن کاملCommon Neighborhood Graph
Let G be a simple graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}. The common neighborhood graph of G, denoted by con(G), is a graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have at least one common neighbor in the graph G. In this paper, we compute the common neighborhood of some composite graphs. In continue, we investigate the relation between hamiltoni...
متن کاملA Note on a graph associated to a commutative ring
The rings considered in this article are commutative with identity. This article is motivated by the work on comaximal graphs of rings. In this article, with any ring $R$, we associate an undirected graph denoted by $G(R)$, whose vertex set is the set of all elements of $R$ and distinct vertices $x,y$ are joined by an edge in $G(R)$ if and only if $Rxcap Ry = Rxy$. In Section 2 of this articl...
متن کاملThe locating-chromatic number for Halin graphs
Let G be a connected graph. Let f be a proper k -coloring of G and Π = (R_1, R_2, . . . , R_k) bean ordered partition of V (G) into color classes. For any vertex v of G, define the color code c_Π(v) of v with respect to Π to be a k -tuple (d(v, R_1), d(v, R_2), . . . , d(v, R_k)), where d(v, R_i) is the min{d(v, x)|x ∈ R_i}. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then we call f a locat...
