چکیده

We consider the problem of efficient coloring of the edges of a so-called binomial tree T, i.e. acyclic graph containing two kinds of edges: those which must have a single color and those which are to be colored with L consecutive colors, where L is an arbitrary integer greater than 1. We give an O(n) time algorithm for optimal coloring of such a tree, where n is the number of vertices of T. Also, we give simple bounds on the chromatic index of T and a division of all binomial trees into two classes depending on their chromaticity.

A practical algorithm for [r, s, t]-coloring of graph

Coloring graphs is one of important and frequently used topics in diverse sciences. In the majority of the articles, it is intended to find a proper bound for vertex coloring, edge coloring or total coloring in the graph. Although it is important to find a proper algorithm for graph coloring, it is hard and time-consuming too. In this paper, a new algorithm for vertex coloring, edge coloring an...

A Linear Algorithm for Edge-Coloring Partial k-Trees

A b s t r a c t . Many combinatorial problems can be efficiently solved for partial k-trees. The edge-coloring problem is one of a few combinatorial problems for which no linear-time algorithm has been obtained for partial k-trees. The best known algorithm solves the problem for partial k-trees G in time O(nA 2~r where n is the number of vertices and A is the maximum degree of G. This paper giv...

Edge-Coloring Partial k-Trees

Ž Many combinatorial problems can be efficiently solved for partial k-trees graphs . of treewidth bounded by k . The edge-coloring problem is one of the well-known combinatorial problems for which no efficient algorithms were previously known, except a polynomial-time algorithm of very high complexity. This paper gives a linear-time sequential algorithm and an optimal parallel algorithm which f...

Conflict-free connection of trees

An edge-colored graph G is conflict-free connected if, between each pair of distinct vertices, there exists a path containing a color used on exactly one of its edges. The conflict-free connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by cfc(G), is defined as the smallest number of colors that are required in order to make G conflict-free connected. A coloring of vertices of a hypergraph H = (...

The irregular chromatic index of trees

A graph G is locally irregular if adjacent vertices of G have distinct degrees. An edge colouring of G is locally irregular if each of its colours induces a locally irregular subgraph of G. The irregular chromatic index of G refers to the least number of colours used by a locally irregular edge colouring of G (if any). We propose a linear-time algorithm for determining the irregular chromatic i...
