The list - chromatic index of K 8 and K 10
نویسنده
چکیده
In [4], Cariolaro et al. demonstrated how colorability problems can be approached numerically by the use of computer algebra systems and the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz. In particular, they verified a case of the List Coloring Conjecture by proving that the list-chromatic index of K6 is 5. In this short note, we show that using the coefficient formula of Schauz [16] is much more efficient than using partial derivatives. As a consequence we are able to show that list-chromatic index of K8 is 7 and the list-chromatic index of K10 is 9.

A 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...
متن کاملComputing Multiplicative Zagreb Indices with Respect to Chromatic and Clique Numbers
The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...
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 کاملThe locating chromatic number of the join of graphs
Let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $G$ and $Pi=(V_1,V_2,ldots,V_k)$ 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 $Pi$ is defined to be the ordered $k$-tuple $c_{{}_Pi}(v)=(d(v,V_1),d(v,V_2),ldots,d(v,V_k))$, where $d(v,V_i)=min{d(v,x):~xin V_i}, 1leq ileq k$. If distinct...
متن کاملAn Upper Bound on the List Chromatic Number of Locally Sparse Graphs
Suppose that G is a graph with maximum degree ∆ and for every vertex v in G, the neighborhood of v contains at most ∆2/f edges. We prove that the list chromatic number of G is at most K∆/ log f , for some positive constant K. This result strengthens several previous results [AKSu2, Kim, Joh, Vu1] and is sharp up to the multiplicative constant K. As an application, we shall derive several upper ...
