On incidence coloring for some cubic graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
In 1993, Brualdi and Massey conjectured that every graph can be incidence colored with ∆+2 colors, where ∆ is the maximum degree of a graph. Although this conjecture was solved in the negative by an example in [1], it might hold for some special classes of graphs. In this paper, we consider graphs with maximum degree ∆ = 3 and show that the conjecture holds for cubic Hamiltonian graphs and some other cubic graphs.

Some results on incidence coloring, star arboricity and domination number
Two inequalities are established connecting the graph invariants of incidence chromatic number, star arboricity and domination number. Using these, upper and lower bounds are deduced for the incidence chromatic number of a graph and further reductions are made to the upper bound for a planar graph. It is shown that cubic graphs with orders not divisible by four are not 4-incidence colorable. Sh...
متن کاملIncidence dominating numbers of graphs
In this paper, the concept of incidence domination number of graphs is introduced and the incidence dominating set and the incidence domination number of some particular graphs such as paths, cycles, wheels, complete graphs and stars are studied.
متن کامل-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2
For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...
متن کاملNP-completeness of 4-incidence colorability of semi-cubic graphs
The incidence coloring conjecture, proposed by Brualdi and Massey in 1993, states that the incidence coloring number of every graph is at most ∆ + 2, where ∆ is the maximum degree of a graph. The conjecture was shown to be false in general by Guiduli in 1997, following the work of Algor and Alon. However, in 2005 Maydanskiy proved that the conjecture holds for any graph with ∆ ≤ 3. It is easily...
