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 کاملList-chromatic Number and the Chromatic Number in Minor-closed and Odd-minor-closed Classes of Graphs
It is well-known (Feige and Kilian [24], H̊astad [39]) that approximating the chromatic number within a factor of n1−ε cannot be done in polynomial time for ε > 0, unless coRP = NP. Computing the list-chromatic number is much harder than determining the chromatic number. It is known that the problem of deciding if the list-chromatic number is k, where k ≥ 3, is Πp2-complete [37]. In this paper, ...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملThe locating chromatic number of the join of graphs
Let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $G$ and $Pi=(V_1,V_2,ldots,V_k)$ be an ordered partition of $V(G)$ into the resulting color classes. For a vertex $v$ of $G$, the color code of $v$ with respect to $Pi$ is defined to be the ordered $k$-tuple $c_{{}_Pi}(v)=(d(v,V_1),d(v,V_2),ldots,d(v,V_k))$, where $d(v,V_i)=min{d(v,x):~xin V_i}, 1leq ileq k$. If distinct...
متن کاملOn the Edge-Difference and Edge-Sum Chromatic Sum of the Simple Graphs
For a coloring $c$ of a graph $G$, the edge-difference coloring sum and edge-sum coloring sum with respect to the coloring $c$ are respectively $sum_c D(G)=sum |c(a)-c(b)|$ and $sum_s S(G)=sum (c(a)+c(b))$, where the summations are taken over all edges $abin E(G)$. The edge-difference chromatic sum, denoted by $sum D(G)$, and the edge-sum chromatic sum, denoted by $sum S(G)$, a...
متن کاملIntersection graphs associated with semigroup acts
The intersection graph $mathbb{Int}(A)$ of an $S$-act $A$ over a semigroup $S$ is an undirected simple graph whose vertices are non-trivial subacts of $A$, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a non-empty intersection. In this paper, we study some graph-theoretic properties of $mathbb{Int}(A)$ in connection to some algebraic properties of $A$. It is proved that the fi...
