چکیده
Let P be a set of n points in strictly convex position in the plane. Let Dn be the graph whose vertex set is the set of all line segments with endpoints in P , where disjoint segments are adjacent. The chromatic number of this graph was first studied by Araujo, Dumitrescu, Hurtado, Noy, and Urrutia [2005] and then by Dujmović and Wood [2007]. Improving on their estimates, we prove the following exact formula:

The Chromatic Number of the Convex Segment Disjointness Graph
Let P be a set of n points in general and convex position in the plane. Let Dn be the graph whose vertex set is the set of all line segments with endpoints in P , where disjoint segments are adjacent. The chromatic number of this graph was first studied by Araujo et al. [CGTA, 2005]. The previous best bounds are 3n 4 ≤ χ(Dn) < n − √ n 2 (ignoring lower order terms). In this paper we improve the...
متن کاملThe distinguishing chromatic number of bipartite graphs of girth at least six
The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic number $chi_{D}(G)$ of $G$ is defined similarly, where, in addition, $f$ is assumed to be a proper labeling. We prove that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of girth at least six with the maximum ...
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 کاملChromatic polynomials of some nanostars
Let G be a simple graph and (G,) denotes the number of proper vertex colourings of G with at most colours, which is for a fixed graph G , a polynomial in , which is called the chromatic polynomial of G . Using the chromatic polynomial of some specific graphs, we obtain the chromatic polynomials of some nanostars.
متن کاملThe convex domination subdivision number of a graph
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Dsubseteq V$ is adominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $Vsetminus D$ has atleast one neighbor in $D$. The distance $d_G(u,v)$ between twovertices $u$ and $v$ is the length of a shortest $(u,v)$-path in$G$. An $(u,v)$-path of length $d_G(u,v)$ is called an$(u,v)$-geodesic. A set $Xsubseteq V$ is convex in $G$ ifvertices from all $(a, b)$-geodesics belon...
