The total chromatic number of any multigraph with maximum degree five is at most seven
The result announced in the title is proved. A new proof of the total 6-colorability of any multigraph with maximum degree 4 is also given.
متن کاملGraphs with chromatic number close to maximum degree
Let G be a color-critical graph with χ(G) ≥ Δ(G) = 2t + 1 ≥ 5 such that the subgraph of G induced by the vertices of degree 2t+1 has clique number at most t−1. We prove that then either t ≥ 3 and G = K2t+2 or t = 2 and G ∈ {K6, O5}, where O5 is a special graph with χ(O5) = 5 and |O5| = 9. This result for t ≥ 3 improves a case of a theorem by Rabern [9] and for t = 2 answers a question raised by...
متن کاملThe Total Chromatic Number of Graphs of High Minimum Degree
If G is a simple graph with minimum degree <5(G) satisfying <5(G) ^ f(| K(C?)| -f-1) the total chromatic number conjecture holds; moreover if S(G) ^ f| V(G)\ then #T(G) < A(G) + 3. Also if G has odd order and is regular with d{G) ^ \^/1\V{G)\ then a necessary and sufficient condition for ^T((7) = A((7)+ 1 is given.
متن کاملTOTAL CHROMATIC NUMBER OF GRAPHS OF ORDER 2«+l HAVING MAXIMUM DEGREE
Let G be a graph of order 2n+ 1 having maximum degree 2n—\. We prove that the total chromatic number of G is 2/i if and only if e(G — w) + oc'(G — w)^n, where w is a vertex of minimum degree in G, G — w is the complement of G — w, e(G — w) is the size of G — w, and a'(G-w) is the edge independence number of G — w.
متن کاملOn total 9-coloring planar graphs of maximum degree seven
Given a graphG, a total k-coloring ofG is a simultaneous coloring of the vertices and edges ofGwith at most k colors. If ∆(G) is themaximum degree ofG, then no graph has a total ∆-coloring, but Vizing conjectured that every graph has a total (∆ + 2)-coloring. This Total Coloring Conjecture remains open even for planar graphs. This article proves one of the two remaining planar cases, showing th...
