Edge Colouring Reduced Indifference Graphs

open access: yes, 1999
The chromatic index problem -- finding the minimum number of colours required for colouring the edges of a graph -- is still unsolved for indifference graphs, whose vertices can be linearly ordered so that the vertices contained in the same maximal ...

Distinguishing Cartesian Products of Countable Graphs

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2017
The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices of G such that the coloring is preserved only by the trivial automorphism.

Rainbow Connection Number of Graphs with Diameter 3

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2017
A path in an edge-colored graph G is rainbow if no two edges of the path are colored the same. The rainbow connection number rc(G) of G is the smallest integer k for which there exists a k-edge-coloring of G such that every pair of distinct vertices of G

Bounds for partial list colourings

open access: yes, 2008
: Let G be a simple graph on n vertices with list chromatic number χ l = s. If each vertex of G is assigned a list of t colours Albertson, Grossman and Haas [1] asked how many of the vertices, λ t,s, are necessarily colourable from these lists?

Decomposition of bounded degree graphs into C4-free subgraphs

open access: yes
We prove that every graph with maximum degree ∆ admits a partition of its edges into O(√∆) parts (as ∆→∞) none of which contains C4 as a subgraph. This bound is sharp up to a constantfactor. Our proof uses an iterated random colouring procedure.Keywords:

Almost All Graphs With 2.522n Edges Are Not 3-Colorable

open access: yes, 1999
We prove that for c 2:522 a random graph with n vertices and m = cn edges is not 3-colorable with probability 1 \Gamma o(1). Similar bounds for non-k-colorability are given for k ? 3.

Local Conditions for Edge-Coloring

open access: yes, 1995
In this note, we investigate three versions of the overfull property for graphs and their relation to the edge-coloring problem. Each of these properties implies that the graph cannot be edge-colored with \Delta colors, where \Delta is the maximum degree.

List Edge Colourings of Some 1-Factorable Multigraphs

open access: yes, 1996
The List Edge Colouring Conjecture asserts that, given any multigraph G with chromatic index k and any set system fSe : e 2 E(G)g with each jSe j = k, we can choose elements se 2 Se such that se 6= sf whenever e and f are adjacent edges.

Some Results on the Structure of Multipoles in the Study of Snarks ∗

open access: yes, 2014
AMS classification: 05C15, 05C05, 05C38. Multipoles are the pieces we obtain by cutting some edges of a cubic graph. As a result of the cut, a multipole M has dangling edges with one free end, which we call semiedges.

Game Chromatic Number of Graphs

open access: yes, 1998
We show that if a graph has acyclic chromatic number k, then its game chromatic number is at most k(k + 1). By applying the known upper bounds for the acyclic chromatic numbers of various classes of graphs, we obtain upper bounds for the game chromatic ...
