The list distinguishing number equals the distinguishing number for interval graphs

چکیده
A distinguishing coloring of a graph G is a coloring of the vertices so that every nontrivial automorphism of G maps some vertex to a vertex with a different color. The distinguishing number of G is the minimum k such that G has a distinguishing coloring where each vertex is assigned a color from {1, . . . , k}. A list assignment to G is an assignment L = {L(v)}v∈V (G) of lists of colors to the vertices of G. A distinguishing L-coloring of G is a distinguishing coloring of G where the color of each vertex v comes from L(v). The list distinguishing number of G is the minimum k such that every list assignment to G in which |L(v)| = k for all v ∈ V (G) yields a distinguishing L-coloring of G. We prove that if G is an interval graph, then its distinguishing number and list distinguishing number are equal.

The 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 ...

The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. For any $n in mathbb{N}$, the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...
متن کاملList-Distinguishing Colorings of Graphs
A coloring of the vertices of a graph G is said to be distinguishing provided that no nontrivial automorphism of G preserves all of the vertex colors. The distinguishing number of G, denoted D(G), is the minimum number of colors in a distinguishing coloring of G. The distinguishing number, first introduced by Albertson and Collins in 1996, has been widely studied and a number of interesting res...
متن کاملOn computing the distinguishing and distinguishing chromatic numbers of interval graphs and other results
A vertex k-coloring of graph G is distinguishing if the only automorphism of G that preserves the colors is the identity map. It is proper-distinguishing if the coloring is both proper and distinguishing. The distinguishing number of G, D(G), is the smallest integer k so that G has a distinguishing k-coloring; the distinguishing chromatic number of G, χD(G), is defined similarly. It has been sh...
