چکیده
McDiarmid C.J.H. and A. Sanchez-Arroyo, An upper bound for total colouring of graphs, Discrete Mathematics 111 (1993) 3899392. We give an upper bound on the number of colours required to extend a given vertex colouring of a graph to a total colouring. This shows that for any simple graph there is a total colouring using at most :d + 3 colours, where A is the maximum vertex degree.

On trees attaining an upper bound on the total domination number
A total dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D$ of vertices of $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ has a neighbor in $D$. The total domination number of a graph $G$, denoted by $gamma_t(G)$, is~the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of $G$.

متن کاملEdge colouring by total labellings
We introduce the concept of an edge-colouring total k-labelling. This is a labelling of the vertices and the edges of a graph G with labels 1, 2, . . . , k such that the weights of the edges define a proper edge colouring of G. Here the weight of an edge is the sum of its label and the labels of its two endvertices. We define χt(G) to be the smallest integer k for which G has an edge-colouring ...
متن کاملSharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs
In $1994,$ degree distance of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...
متن کاملNew results on upper domatic number of graphs
For a graph $G = (V, E)$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_k}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i$ dominates $V_j$ or $V_j$ dominates $V_i$ or both for every $V_i, V_j in pi$, whenever $i neq j$. The textit{upper domatic number} $D(G)$ is the maximum order of an upper domatic partition. We study the properties of upper domatic number and propose an up...
متن کاملA tight bound for online colouring of disk graphs
We present an improved upper bound on the competitiveness of the online colouring algorithm First-Fit in disk graphs, which are graphs representing overlaps of disks on the plane. We also show that this bound is best possible for deterministic online colouring algorithms that do not use the disk representation of the input graph. We also present a related new lower bound for unit disk graphs. c...
