Online Vertex-Coloring Games in Random Graphs.pdfstartview

Consider the following one-player game. The vertices of a random graph on n vertices are revealed to the player one by one. In each step, also all edges connecting the newly revealed vertex to preceding vertices are revealed. The player has a fixed number of colors at her disposal, and has to assign one of these to each vertex immediately. However, she is not allowed to create any monochromatic...

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'...

Consider the balanced Ramsey game, in which a player has r colors and where in each round r random edges of an initially empty graph on n vertices are presented. The player has to immediately assign a different color to each edge and her goal is to avoid creating a monochromatic copy of some fixed graph F for as long as possible. The Achlioptas game is similar, but the player only loses when sh...

Balanced Online Ramsey Games in Random Graphs

Consider the following one-player game. Starting with the empty graph on n vertices, in every step r new edges are drawn uniformly at random and inserted into the current graph. These edges have to be colored immediately with r available colors, subject to the restriction that each color is used for exactly one of these edges. The player’s goal is to avoid creating a monochromatic copy of some ...
