Strong Chromatic Index of Products of Graphs

چکیده

The strong chromatic index of a graph is the minimum number of colours needed to colour the edges in such a way that each colour class is an induced matching. In this paper, we present bounds for the strong chromatic index of three different products of graphs in terms of the strong chromatic index of each factor. For the Cartesian product of paths, cycles or complete graphs, we derive sharper results. In particular, strong chromatic indices of d-dimensional grids and of some toroidal grids are given along with approximate results on the strong chromatic index of generalized hypercubes.

Chromatic Harmonic Indices and Chromatic Harmonic Polynomials of Certain Graphs

In the main this paper introduces the concept of chromatic harmonic polynomials denoted, $H^chi(G,x)$ and chromatic harmonic indices denoted, $H^chi(G)$ of a graph $G$. The new concept is then applied to finding explicit formula for the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic polynomials and the minimum (maximum) chromatic harmonic index of certain graphs. It is also applied to split graphs and ce...

Sharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

Strong chromatic index of k-degenerate graphs

A strong edge coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring in which every color class is an induced matching. The strong chromatic index χs(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors in a strong edge coloring of G. In this note, we improve a result by Dębski et al. [Strong chromatic index of sparse graphs, arXiv:1301.1992v1] and show that the strong chromatic index of a k-degenerate gra...

Strong chromatic index of graphs: a short survey

A strong edge coloring of a graph G is an edge coloring such that every two adjacent edges or two edges adjacent to a same edge receive two distinct colors; in other words, every path of length three has three distinct colors in G. The strong chromatic index of G, denoted by   S G  , is the smallest integer k such that G admits a strong edge coloring with k colors. This survey is an brief i...

On the strong chromatic index and maximum induced matching of tree-cographs and permutation graphs

We show that there exist linear-time algorithms that compute the strong chromatic index and a maximum induced matching of treecographs when the decomposition tree is a part of the input. We also show that there exists an efficient algorithm for the strong chromatic index of permutation graphs.
