Injective colorings of sparse graphs

چکیده
Let mad(G) denote the maximum average degree (over all subgraphs) of G and let χi(G) denote the injective chromatic number of G. We prove that if mad(G) ≤ 5 2 , then χi(G) ≤ ∆(G) + 1; and if mad(G) < 42 19 , then χi(G) = ∆(G). Suppose that G is a planar graph with girth g(G) and ∆(G) ≥ 4. We prove that if g(G) ≥ 9, then χi(G) ≤ ∆(G) + 1; similarly, if g(G) ≥ 13, then χi(G) = ∆(G).

Injective colorings of planar graphs with few colors
An injective coloring of a graph is a vertex coloring where two vertices have distinct colors if a path of length two exists between them. In this paper some results on injective colorings of planar graphs with few colors are presented. We show that all planar graphs of girth ≥19 and maximum degree ∆ are injectively ∆-colorable. We also show that all planar graphs of girth ≥10 are injectively (...
متن کاملPerfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs
In this paper, we enumerate the parameter matrices of all perfect $2$-colorings of the Platonic graphs consisting of the tetrahedral graph, the cubical graph, the octahedral graph, the dodecahedral graph, and the icosahedral graph.
متن کاملInjective Colorings with Arithmetic Constraints
An injective coloring of a graph is a vertex labeling such that two vertices sharing a common neighbor get different labels. In this work we introduce and study what we call additive colorings. An injective coloring c : V (G) → Z of a graph G is an additive coloring if for every uv, vw in E(G), c(u)+ c(w) = 2c(v). The smallest integer k such that an injective (resp. additive) coloring of a give...
متن کاملBounds for the (m,n)-mixed chromatic number and the oriented chromatic number
A bound for the (n,m)-mixed chromatic number in terms of the chromatic number of the square of the underlying undirected graph is given. A similar bound holds when the chromatic number of the square is replaced by the injective chromatic number. When restricted to n = 1 andm = 0 (i.e., oriented graphs) this gives a new bound for the oriented chromatic number. In this case, a slightly improved b...
متن کاملInjective choosability of subcubic planar graphs with girth 6
An injective coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices of G so that any two vertices with a common neighbor have distinct colors. A graph G is injectively k-choosable if for any list assignment L, where |L(v)| ≥ k for all v ∈ V (G), G has an injective L-coloring. Injective colorings have applications in the theory of error-correcting codes and are closely related to other...
