Acyclic Colorings of Products of Cycles

چکیده
An acyclic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertex set of G such that G contains no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic number of a graph G is the minimum number k such that G has an acyclic coloring with k colors. In this paper, acyclic colorings of products of paths and cycles are considered. We determine the acyclic chromatic numbers of three such products: grid graphs, cylinders, and toroids.

On the Acyclic Chromatic Number of Hamming Graphs
An acyclic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertex set of G such that G contains no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic number of a graph G is the minimum number k such that G has an acyclic coloring with k colors. In this paper, acyclic colorings of Hamming graphs, products of complete graphs, are considered.

We obtain bounds for the coloring numbers of products of trees for three closely related types of colorings: acyclic, distance 2, and L(2, 1).
متن کاملAcyclic Colorings and Triangulations of Weakly Chordal Graphs
An acyclic coloring of a graph is a proper vertex coloring without bichromatic cycles. We show that the acyclic colorings of any weakly chordal graph G correspond to the proper colorings of triangulations of G. As a consequence, we obtain polynomial-time algorithms for the acyclic coloring problem and the perfect phylogeny problem on the class of weakly chordal graphs. Our results also imply li...
متن کاملAcyclic Edge Colorings of Planar Graphs Without Short Cycles∗
A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called acyclic if there is no 2-colored cycle in G. The acyclic edge chromatic number of G is the least number of colors in an acyclic edge coloring of G. In this paper, it is proved that the acyclic edge chromatic number of a planar graph G is at most ∆(G)+2 if G contains no i-cycles, 4≤ i≤ 8, or any two 3-cycles are not incident with a common vertex and ...
متن کاملA new approach to compute acyclic chromatic index of certain chemical structures
An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring such that there are no bichromatic cycles. The acyclic chromatic index of a graph $G$ denoted by $chi_a '(G)$ is the minimum number $k$ such that there is an acyclic edge coloring using $k$ colors. The maximum degree in $G$ denoted by $Delta(G)$, is the lower bound for $chi_a '(G)$. $P$-cuts introduced in this paper acts as a powerfu...
