Strong edge-coloring for jellyfish graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A strong edge-coloring of a graph is a function that assigns to each edge a color such that two edges within distance two apart receive different colors. The strong chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colors used in a strong edge-coloring. This paper determines strong chromatic indices of cacti, which are graphs whose blocks are cycles or complete graphs of two vertices. The proof is by means of jellyfish graphs.

Edge-coloring Vertex-weightings of Graphs
Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple, finite and undirected graph of order $n$. A $k$-vertex weightings of a graph $G$ is a mapping $w: V(G) to {1, ldots, k}$. A $k$-vertex weighting induces an edge labeling $f_w: E(G) to N$ such that $f_w(uv)=w(u)+w(v)$. Such a labeling is called an {it edge-coloring k-vertex weightings} if $f_{w}(e)not= f_{w}(echr(chr(chr('39')39chr('39'))39chr(chr('39')39chr('39'...
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 کاملStrong chromatic index of graphs: a short survey
A strong edge coloring of a graph G is an edge coloring such that every two adjacent edges or two edges adjacent to a same edge receive two distinct colors; in other words, every path of length three has three distinct colors in G. The strong chromatic index of G, denoted by S G , is the smallest integer k such that G admits a strong edge coloring with k colors. This survey is an brief i...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملStrong edge-coloring of $(3, \Delta)$-bipartite graphs
A strong edge-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to edges such that every color class induces a matching. We here focus on bipartite graphs whose one part is of maximum degree at most 3 and the other part is of maximum degree ∆. For every such graph, we prove that a strong 4∆-edge-coloring can always be obtained. Together with a result of Steger and Yu, this result confirms a conj...
