چکیده
A path in an edge-coloured graph is called \emph{rainbow path} if its edges receive pairwise distinct colours. An said to be connected} any two vertices of the are connected by a rainbow path. The minimum $k$ for which there exists such edge-colouring connection number $rc(G)$ $G.$ Recently, Bau et al. \cite{BJJKM2018} introduced this concept with additional requirement that must proper. %An proper \emph{properly \emph{proper number} $G$, denoted $prc(G)$, colours needed order make it properly connected. In paper we first prove improved upper bound $prc(G) \leq n$ every $G$ $n \geq 3.$ Next show difference - rc(G)$ can arbitrarily large. Finally, present several sufficient conditions classes satisfying = \chi'(G).$

Rainbow connection number of dense graphs
An edge-colored graph G is rainbow connected, if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this paper we show that rc(G) ≤ 3 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−2 2 ) + 2, and rc(G) ≤ 4 if |E(G)| ≥ ( n−3 2 ) + 3. These bounds...

An edge-coloured graph G is rainbow connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colours. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colours that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this paper we prove that rc(G) = 2 for every connected graph G of order n and size m, where (
متن کاملProper connection of graphs
An edge-colored graph G is k-proper connected if every pair of vertices is connected by k internally pairwise vertex-disjoint proper colored paths. The k-proper connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by pck(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed to color the edges ofG in order tomake it k-proper connected. In this paperweprove several upper bounds for pck(G). We state s...
متن کاملThe rainbow connection number of 2-connected graphs
The rainbow connection number of a graph G is the least number of colours in a (not necessarily proper) edge-colouring of G such that every two vertices are joined by a path which contains no colour twice. Improving a result of Caro et al., we prove that the rainbow connection number of every 2-connected graph with n vertices is at most dn/2e. The bound is optimal.
متن کاملRainbow connection number of graphs with diameter 3
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 is connected by a rainbow path. Let f(d) denote the minimum number such that rc(G) ≤ f(d) for each bridgeless graph G with diameter d. In this...
