چکیده

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is equitable if the size of color classes differ by at most one. The equitable chromatic threshold of G, denoted by ∗Eq(G), is the smallest integer m such that G is equitably n-colorable for all n m. We prove that ∗Eq(G) = (G) if G is a non-bipartite planar graph with girth 26 and (G) 2 or G is a 2-connected outerplanar graph with girth 4. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Equitable Coloring of Sparse Planar Graphs

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is equitable if the sizes of color classes differ by at most one. The equitable chromatic threshold χeq(G) of G is the smallest integer m such that G is equitably n-colorable for all n ≥ m. We show that for planar graphs G with minimum degree at least two, χeq(G) ≤ 4 if the girth of G is at least 10, and χeq(G) ≤ 3 if the girth of G is at least 14.

Equitable defective coloring of sparse planar graphs

A graph has an equitable, defective k-coloring (an ED-k-coloring) if there is a kcoloring of V (G) that is defective (every vertex shares the same color with at most one neighbor) and equitable (the sizes of all color classes differ by at most one). A graph may have an ED-kcoloring, but no ED-(k + 1)-coloring. In this paper, we prove that planar graphs with minimum degree at least 2 and girth a...

Equitable vertex arboricity of graphs

An equitable (t, k, d)-tree-coloring of a graph G is a coloring to vertices of G such that the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one and the subgraph induced by each color class is a forest of maximum degree at most k and diameter at most d. The minimum t such that G has an equitable (t′, k, d)-tree-coloring for every t′ ≥ t is called the strong equitable (k, d)-vertex-arboricity...

List coloring the square of sparse graphs with large degree

We consider the problem of coloring the squares of graphs of bounded maximum average degree, that is, the problem of coloring the vertices while ensuring that two vertices that are adjacent or have a common neighbour receive different colors. Borodin et al. proved in 2004 and 2008 that the squares of planar graphs of girth at least seven and sufficiently large maximum degree ∆ are list (∆ + 1)-...

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 (...
