Some Results on Edge Coloring Problems with Constraints in Graphs∗
In this paper some new results on the acyclic-edge coloring , f -edge coloring, g-edge cover coloring, (g, f )-coloring and equitable edge-coloring of graphs are introduced. In particular, some new results related to the above colorings obtained by us are given. Some new problems and conjectures are presented.
متن کاملSpiral Chains: The Proofs of Tait’s and Tutte’s Three-Edge-Coloring Conjectures
In this paper we have shown without assuming the four color theorem of planar graphs that every (bridgeless) cubic planar graph has a threeedge-coloring. This is an old-conjecture due to Tait in the squeal of efforts in settling the four-color conjecture at the end of the 19th century. We have also shown the applicability of our method to another well-known three edge-coloring conjecture on cub...
متن کاملSize of edge-critical uniquely 3-colorable planar graphs
A graph G is uniquely k-colorable if the chromatic number of G is k and G has only one k-coloring up to permutation of the colors. A uniquely k-colorable graph G is edge-critical if G − e is not a uniquely k-colorable graph for any edge e ∈ E(G). Mel’nikov and Steinberg [L. S. Mel’nikov, R. Steinberg, One counterexample for two conjectures on three coloring, Discrete Math. 20 (1977) 203-206] as...
متن کاملA Unified Spiral Chain Coloring Algorithm for Planar Graphs
In this paper we have given a unified graph coloring algorithm for planar graphs. The problems that have been considered in this context respectively, are vertex, edge, total and entire colorings of the planar graphs. The main tool in the coloring algorithm is the use of spiral chain which has been used in the non-computer proof of the four color theorem in 2004. A more precies explanation of t...
متن کاملMore Counterexamples to the Alon-Saks-Seymour and Rank-Coloring Conjectures
The chromatic number χ(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors in a proper coloring of the vertices of G. The biclique partition number bp(G) is the minimum number of complete bipartite subgraphs whose edges partition the edge-set of G. The Rank-Coloring Conjecture (formulated by van Nuffelen in 1976) states that χ(G) ≤ rank(A(G)), where rank(A(G)) is the rank of the adjacency matrix of...
