Upper bounds on sets of orthogonal colorings of graphs

چکیده

We generalize the notion of orthogonal latin squares to colorings of simple graphs. Two n-colorings of a graph are said to be orthogonal if whenever two vertices share a color in one coloring they have distinct colors in the other coloring. We show that the usual bounds on the maximum size of a certain set of orthogonal latin structures such as latin squares, row latin squares, equi-n squares, single diagonal latin squares, double diagonal latin squares, or sudoku squares are a special cases of bounds on orthogonal colorings of graphs.

Upper and lower bounds of symmetric division deg index

Symmetric Division Deg index is one of the 148 discrete Adriatic indices that showed good predictive properties on the testing sets provided by International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry. Symmetric Division Deg index is defined by $$ SDD(G) = sumE left( frac{min{d_u,d_v}}{max{d_u,d_v}} + frac{max{d_u,d_v}}{min{d_u,d_v}} right), $$ where $d_i$ is the degree of vertex $i$ in graph $G$. In th...

Orthogonal Colorings of Graphs

An orthogonal coloring of a graph G is a pair {c1, c2} of proper colorings of G, having the property that if two vertices are colored with the same color in c1, then they must have distinct colors in c2. The notion of orthogonal colorings is strongly related to the notion of orthogonal Latin squares. The orthogonal chromatic number of G, denoted by Oχ(G), is the minimum possible number of color...

Vertex Distinguishing Edge- and Total-Colorings of Cartesian and other Product Graphs

This paper studies edgeand total-colorings of graphs in which (all or only adjacent) vertices are distinguished by their sets of colors. We provide bounds for the minimum number of colors needed for such colorings for the Cartesian product of graphs along with exact results for generalized hypercubes. We also present general bounds for the direct, strong and lexicographic products.

On the Eccentric Connectivity Index of Unicyclic Graphs

In this paper, we obtain the upper and lower bounds on the eccen- tricity connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with perfect matchings. Also we give some lower bounds on the eccentric connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with given matching numbers.

No Quantum Brooks' Theorem

First, I introduce quantum graph theory. I also discuss a known lower bound on the independence numbers and derive from it an upper bound on the chromatic numbers of quantum graphs. Then, I construct a family of quantum graphs that can be described as tropical, cyclical, and commutative. I also define a step logarithm function and express with it the bounds on quantum graph invariants in closed...
