Down-coloring acyclic digraphs

چکیده
We consider vertex coloring of an acyclic digraph ~ G in such a way that two vertices which have a common ancestor in ~ G receive distinct colors. Such colorings arise in a natural way when bounding space for various genetic data for efficient analysis. We discuss the corresponding chromatic number and derive an upper bound as a function of the maximum number of descendants of a given vertex and the degeneracy of the corresponding hypergraph, which is obtained from the original digraph. 2000 MSC: 05C15, 05C20, 05C65, 05C85, 05D90, 06A05.

We consider vertex coloring of an acyclic digraph ~ G in such a way that two vertices which have a common ancestor in ~ G receive distinct colors. Such colorings arise in a natural way when bounding space for various genetic data for efficient analysis.

متن کاملBrooks-type Results for Coloring of Digraphs
In the thesis, the coloring of digraphs is studied. The chromatic number of a digraph D is the smallest integer k so that the vertices of D can be partitioned into at most k sets each of which induces an acyclic subdigraph. A set of four topics on the chromatic number is presented. First, the dependence of the chromatic number of digraphs on the maximum degree is explored. An analog of Gallai’s...
