چکیده
A generalization of the chromatic number of a graph is introduced such that the colors are integers modulo n, and the colors on adjacent vertices are required to be as far apart as possible.

The 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...
متن کاملStar chromatic numbers of hypergraphs and partial Steiner triple systems
The concept of star chromatic number of a graph, introduced by Vince (1988) is a natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. This concept was studied from a pure combinatorial point of view by Bondy and Hell (1990). In this paper we introduce strong and weak star chromatic numbers of uniform hypergraphs and study their basic properties. In particular, we focus on partial Steiner ...
متن کاملCircular chromatic number: a survey
The circular chromatic number chi (c)(G) of a graph G (also known as 'the star-chromatic number'), is a natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. In this paper, we survey results on this topic, concentrating on the relations among the circular chromatic number, the chromatic number and some other parameters of a graph. Some of the results and or proofs presented here are new. T...
متن کاملThe Circular Chromatic Number of the Mycielski's Graph M
As a natural generalization of chromatic number of a graph, the circular chromatic number of graphs (or the star chromatic number) was introduced by A.Vince in 1988. Let M (G) denote the tth iterated Mycielski graph of G. It was conjectured by Chang, Huang and Zhu(Discrete mathematics,205(1999), 23-37) that for all n ≥ t+2, χc(M (Kn)) = χ(M (Kn)) = n+ t. In 2004, D.D.F. Liu proved the conjectur...
متن کاملAcyclic and Star Colorings of Joins of Graphs and an Algorithm for Cographs (Extended Abstract)
compiled April 30, 2009 from draft version hg:e0660c153c0b:79 An acyclic coloring of a graph is a proper vertex coloring such that the subgraph induced by the union of any two color classes is a disjoint collection of trees. The more restricted notion of star coloring requires that the union of any two color classes induces a disjoint collection of stars. The acyclic and star chromatic numbers ...
متن کاملStar Coloring and Acyclic Coloring of Locally Planar Graphs
It is proved that every graph embedded in a fixed surface with sufficiently large edge-width is acyclically 7-colorable and that its star chromatic number is at most 2s * 0 + 3, where s * 0 ≤ 20 is the maximum star chromatic number for the class of all planar graphs.
