چکیده

We discuss relationships among T-colorings of graphs and chromatic numbers, fractional chromatic numbers, and circular chromatic numbers of distance graphs. We first prove that for any finite integral set T that contains 0, the asymptotic T-coloring ratio R(T ) is equal to the fractional chromatic number of the distance graph G(Z, D), where D=T&[0]. This fact is then used to study the distance graphs with distance sets of the form Dm, k=[1, 2, ..., m]&[k]. The chromatic numbers and the fractional chromatic numbers of G(Z, Dm, k) are determined for all values of m and k. Furthermore, circular chromatic numbers of G(Z, Dm, k) for some special values of m and k are obtained. 1999 Academic Press

-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...

A practical algorithm for [r, s, t]-coloring of graph

Coloring graphs is one of important and frequently used topics in diverse sciences. In the majority of the articles, it is intended to find a proper bound for vertex coloring, edge coloring or total coloring in the graph. Although it is important to find a proper algorithm for graph coloring, it is hard and time-consuming too. In this paper, a new algorithm for vertex coloring, edge coloring an...

Circular Chromatic Numbers and Fractional Chromatic Numbers of Distance Graphs with Distance Sets Missing An Interval

Suppose S is a subset of a metric spaceM with a metric δ, and D a subset of positive real numbers. The distance graph G(S, D), with a distance set D, is the graph with vertex set S in which two vertices x and y are adjacent iff δ(x, y) ∈ D. Distance graphs, first studied by Eggleton et al. [7], were motivated by the well-known plane-coloring problem: What is the minimum number of colors needed ...

)-Coloring of Trees and Interval Graphs

Given a vector (δ1, δ2, . . . , δt ) of nonincreasing positive integers, and an undirected graph G = (V ,E ), an L(δ1, δ2, . . . , δt )-coloring of G is a function f from the vertex set V to a set of nonnegative integers such that |f (u)− f (v )| ≥ δi , if d (u,v ) = i , 1 ≤ i ≤ t , where d (u,v ) is the distance (i.e., the minimum number of edges) between the vertices u and v . An optimal L(δ1...

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...
