Acyclic edge-coloring of planar graphs: ∆ colors suffice when ∆ is large
An acyclic edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring of G such that the subgraph induced by any two color classes is acyclic. The acyclic chromatic index, χa(G), is the smallest number of colors allowing an acyclic edge-coloring of G. Clearly χa(G) ≥ ∆(G) for every graph G. Cohen, Havet, and Müller conjectured that there exists a constant M such that every planar graph with ∆(G) ≥M h...
متن کاملAcyclic edge coloring of planar graphs with Δ colors
An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring without bichromatic cycles. In 1978, it was conjectured that ∆(G) + 2 colors suffice for an acyclic edge coloring of every graph G [6]. The conjecture has been verified for several classes of graphs, however, the best known upper bound for as special class as planar graphs are, is ∆+12 [2]. In this paper, we study simple planar graph...
متن کاملThree Colors Suffice: Conflict-Free Coloring of Planar Graphs
A conflict-free k-coloring of a graph assigns one of k different colors to some of the vertices such that, for every vertex v, there is a color that is assigned to exactly one vertex among v and v’s neighbors. Such colorings have applications in wireless networking, robotics, and geometry, and are well-studied in graph theory. Here we study the natural problem of the conflict-free chromatic num...
متن کاملAcyclic Edge coloring of Planar Graphs
An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number k such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using k colors and is denoted by a(G). It was conjectured by Alon, Sudakov and Zaks (and much earlier by Fiamcik) that a(G) ≤ ∆ + 2, where ∆ = ∆(G) denotes the maximum degree of the gra...
متن کاملRandomized $\Delta$-Edge-Coloring via Quaternion of Complex Colors
This paper explores the application of a new algebraic method of color exchanges to the edge coloring of simple graphs. Vizing’s theorem states that the edge coloring of a simple graph G requires either ∆ or ∆ + 1 colors, where ∆ is the maximum vertex degree of G. Holyer proved that it is NP-complete to decide whether G is ∆-edge-colorable even for cubic graphs. By introducing the concept of co...
