Coloring (P6, diamond, K4)-free graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that every (P6, diamond, K4)-free graph is 6-colorable. Moreover, we give an example of a (P6, diamond, K4)-free graph G with χ(G) = 6. This generalizes some known results in the literature.

Linearly $\chi$-Bounding $(P_6,C_4)$-Free Graphs
Given two graphs H1 and H2, a graph G is (H1,H2)-free if it contains no subgraph isomorphic to H1 or H2. Let Pt and Cs be the path on t vertices and the cycle on s vertices, respectively. In this paper we show that for any (P6, C4)-free graph G it holds that χ(G) ≤ 3 2 ω(G), where χ(G) and ω(G) are the chromatic number and clique number of G, respectively. Our bound is attained by several graph...
متن کامل-λ coloring of graphs and Conjecture Δ ^ 2
For a given graph G, the square of G, denoted by G2, is a graph with the vertex set V(G) such that two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance of these vertices in G is at most two. A graph G is called squared if there exists some graph H such that G= H2. A function f:V(G) {0,1,2…, k} is called a coloring of G if for every pair of vertices x,yV(G) with d(x,y)=1 we have |f(x)-f(y)|2 an...
متن کاملThree Complexity Results on Coloring Pk-Free Graphs
We prove three complexity results on vertex coloring problems restricted to Pk-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain a path on k vertices as an induced subgraph. First of all, we show that the pre-coloring extension version of 5-coloring remains NP-complete when restricted to P6-free graphs. Recent results of Hoàng et al. imply that this problem is polynomially solvable on P5-free graph...

متن کاملImproved Complexity Results on k-Coloring P t -Free Graphs
A graph is H-free if it does not contain an induced subgraph isomorphic to H . We denote by Pk and Ck the path and the cycle on k vertices, respectively. In this paper, we prove that 4-COLORING is NP-complete for P7-free graphs, and that 5-COLORING is NP-complete for P6-free graphs. These two results improve all previous results on kcoloring Pt-free graphs, and almost complete the classificatio...
