Rainbow Connection Number and Connectivity
The rainbow connection number, rc(G), of a connected graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color its edges, so that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are colored the same. Our main result is that rc(G) ≤ dn2 e for any 2-connected graph with at least three vertices. We conjecture that rc(G) ≤ n/κ + C for a κ-connected graph G of order n, w...
متن کاملRainbow Connection Number and Radius
The rainbow connection number, rc(G), of a connected graph G is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its edges, so that every pair of its vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. In this note we show that for every bridgeless graph G with radius r, rc(G) ≤ r(r + 2). We demonstrate that this bound is the best possible for rc(G) as a functi...
متن کاملRainbow Connection Number of the Thorn Graph
A path in an edge colored graph is said to be a rainbow path if every edge in this path is colored with the same color. The rainbow connection number of G, denoted by rc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color its edges, so that every pair of its vertices is connected by at least one rainbow path. A rainbow u − v geodesic in G is a rainbow path of length d(u, v), where d(u, v) is t...
متن کاملOn Rainbow Connection Number and Connectivity
Rainbow connection number, rc(G), of a connected graph G is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its edges, so that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. In this paper we investigate the relationship of rainbow connection number with vertex and edge connectivity. It is already known that for a connected graph with minimum...
متن کاملRainbow Connection Number and Connected Dominating Sets
Rainbow connection number rc(G) of a connected graph G is the minimum number of colours needed to colour the edges of G, so that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. In this paper we show that for every connected graph G, with minimum degree at least 2, the rainbow connection number is upper bounded by γc(G) + 2, where γc(G) is th...
