Concerning the achromatic number of graphs
The achromatic number of a graph G is the largest number of colors that can be assigned to the vertices of G so that (i) adjacent vertices are assigned different colors, and (ii) any two different colors are assigned to some pair of adjacent vertices. We study the achromatic number from the point of view of computational complexity. We show that, for each fixed integer n, there is an algorithm ...
متن کاملThe achromatic number of Kneser graphs
The achromatic number α of a graph is the largest number of colors that can be assigned to its vertices such that adjacent vertices have different color and every pair of different colors appears on the end vertices of some edge. We estimate the achromatic number of Kneser graphs K(n, k) and determine α(K(n, k)) for some values of n and k. Furthermore, we study the achromatic number of some geo...
متن کاملSome Extremal Problems for Edge-Regular Graphs
We consider the class ER(n, d, λ) of edge-regular graphs for some n > d > λ, i.e., graphs regular of degree d on n vertices, with each pair of adjacent vertices having λ common neighbors. It has previously been shown that for such graphs with λ > 0 we have n ≥ 3(d − λ) and much has been done to characterize such graphs when equality holds. Here we show that n ≥ 3(d − λ) + 1 if λ > 0 and d is od...
متن کاملThe achromatic indices of the regular complete multipartite graphs
In this paper, we study the achromatic indices of the regular complete multipartite graphs and obtain the following results: (1) A good upper bound for the achromatic index of the regular complete multipartite graph which gives the exact values of an infinite family of graphs and solves a problem posed by Bouchet. (2) An improved Bouchet coloring which gives the achromatic indices of another in...
متن کاملOn λ_1-extremal non-regular graphs
Let G be a connected non-regular graph with n vertices, maximum degree ∆ and minimum degree δ, and let λ1 be the greatest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of G. In this paper, by studying the Perron vector of G, it is shown that type-I-a graphs and type-I-b (resp. type-II-a) graphs with some specified properties are not λ1-extremal graphs. Moreover, for each connected non-regular graph some l...
