Ordered Coloring Grids and Related Graphs

چکیده
We investigate a coloring problem, called ordered coloring, in grids and some other families of grid-like graphs. Ordered coloring (also known as vertex ranking) is related to conflict-free coloring and other traditional coloring problems. Such coloring problems can model (among others) efficient frequency assignments in cellular networks. Our main technical results improve upper and lower bounds for the ordered chromatic number of grids and related graphs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to calculate exactly the ordered chromatic number of these graph families.

Ordered coloring of grids and related graphs
We investigate a coloring problem, called ordered coloring, in grids and some other families of grid-like graphs. Ordered coloring (also known as vertex ranking) has applications, among other areas, in efficient solving of sparse linear systems of equations and scheduling parallel assembly of products. Our main technical results improve upper and lower bounds for the ordered chromatic number of...
متن کاملThe locating-chromatic number for Halin graphs
Let G be a connected graph. Let f be a proper k -coloring of G and Π = (R_1, R_2, . . . , R_k) bean ordered partition of V (G) into color classes. For any vertex v of G, define the color code c_Π(v) of v with respect to Π to be a k -tuple (d(v, R_1), d(v, R_2), . . . , d(v, R_k)), where d(v, R_i) is the min{d(v, x)|x ∈ R_i}. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then we call f a locat...
متن کاملOn the Locating Chromatic Number of the Cartesian Product of Graphs
Let c be a proper k-coloring of a connected graph G and Π = (V1, V2, . . . , Vk) be an ordered partition of V (G) into the resulting color classes. For a vertex v of G, the color code of v with respect to Π is defined to be the ordered k-tuple cΠ(v) := (d(v, V1), d(v, V2), . . . , d(v, Vk)), where d(v, Vi) = min{d(v, x) | x ∈ Vi}, 1 ≤ i ≤ k. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then ...
متن کاملOn Star Coloring of Graphs
In this paper, we deal with the notion of star coloring of graphs. A star coloring of an undirected graph G is a proper vertex coloring of G (i.e., no two neighbors are assigned the same color) such that any path of length 3 in G is not bicolored. We give the exact value of the star chromatic number of different families of graphs such as trees, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, outerplanar gr...
متن کاملPath-related vertex colorings of graphs
We investigate algorithms for a frequency assignment problem in cellular networks. The problem can be modeled as a special coloring problem for graphs. Base stations are the vertices, ranges are the paths in the graph, and colors (frequencies) must be assigned to vertices following the conflict-free property: In every path there is a color that occurs exactly once. We concentrate on the special...
