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...
