Acyclic Coloring of Graphs

چکیده
In this report we obtain (good) upper bounds on the acyclic chromatic index of graphs obtained as the tensor product of two (or more) graphs, in terms of the acyclic chromatic indices of those factor graphs in the tensor product. Our results assume that optimal colourings for the factor graphs are given and our algorithms extend these colourings to obtain good (close to optimal) colourings of the product graph.

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 کاملOn Acyclic Vertex Coloring of Grid like graphs
d-dimensional partial tori are graphs that can be expressed as cartesian product of d graphs each of which is an induced path or cycle. Some well known graphs like d-dimensional hypercubes, meshes and tori are examples belong to this class. Muthu et al.[MNS06] have studied the problem of acyclic edge coloring for such graphs. We try to explore the acyclic vertex coloring problem for these graph...
