Total-Chromatic Number and Chromatic Index of Dually Chordal Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A graph is dually chordal if it is the clique graph of a chordal graph. Alternatively, a graph is dually chordal if it admits a maximum neighbourhood order. This class generalizes known subclasses of chordal graphs such as doubly chordal graphs, strongly chordal graphs and interval graphs. We prove that Vizing's total-colour conjecture holds for dually chordal graphs. We describe a new heuristic that yields an exact total-colouring algorithm for even maximum degree dually chordal graphs and an exact edge-colouring algorithm for odd maximum degree dually chordal graphs.

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...
متن کاملThe locating-chromatic number for Halin graphs
Let G be a connected graph. Let f be a proper k -coloring of G and Π = (R_1, R_2, . . . , R_k) bean ordered partition of V (G) into color classes. For any vertex v of G, define the color code c_Π(v) of v with respect to Π to be a k -tuple (d(v, R_1), d(v, R_2), . . . , d(v, R_k)), where d(v, R_i) is the min{d(v, x)|x ∈ R_i}. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then we call f a locat...
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 کاملThe locating chromatic number of the join of graphs
Let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $G$ and $Pi=(V_1,V_2,ldots,V_k)$ be an ordered partition of $V(G)$ into the resulting color classes. For a vertex $v$ of $G$, the color code of $v$ with respect to $Pi$ is defined to be the ordered $k$-tuple $c_{{}_Pi}(v)=(d(v,V_1),d(v,V_2),ldots,d(v,V_k))$, where $d(v,V_i)=min{d(v,x):~xin V_i}, 1leq ileq k$. If distinct...
متن کاملOn Injective Colourings of Chordal Graphs
We show that one can compute the injective chromatic number of a chordal graph G at least as efficiently as one can compute the chromatic number of (G−B), where B are the bridges of G. In particular, it follows that for strongly chordal graphs and so-called power chordal graphs the injective chromatic number can be determined in polynomial time. Moreover, for chordal graphs in general, we show ...
