Game Chromatic Number of Cartesian Product Graphs

چکیده
The game chromatic number χg is considered for the Cartesian product G 2 H of two graphs G and H. We determine exact values of χg(G2H) when G and H belong to certain classes of graphs, and show that, in general, the game chromatic number χg(G2H) is not bounded from above by a function of game chromatic numbers of graphs G and H. An analogous result is proved for the game coloring number colg(G2H) of the Cartesian product of graphs.

The Game Chromatic Number of Some Families of Cartesian Product Graphs
We find exact values for the game chromatic number of the Cartesian product graphs Sm¤Pn, Sm¤Cn, P2¤Wn, and P2¤Km,n. This extends previous results of Bartnicki et al. on the game chromatic number of Cartesian product graphs.
متن کاملGame coloring the Cartesian product of graphs
This article proves the following result: Let G and G′ be graphs of orders n and n′, respectively. Let G∗ be obtained from G by adding to each vertex a set of n′ degree 1 neighbors. If G∗ has game coloring number m and G′ has acyclic chromatic number k, then the Cartesian product G G′ has game chromatic number at most k(k+m − 1). As a consequence, the Cartesian product of two forests has game c...

متن کاملThe reliability Wiener number of cartesian product graphs
Reliability Wiener number is a modification of the original Wiener number in which probabilities are assigned to edges yielding a natural model in which there are some (or all) bonds in the molecule that are not static. Various probabilities naturally allow modelling different types of chemical bonds because chemical bonds are of different types and it is well-known that under certain condition...
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...
