We define a new type of vertex coloring which generalizes vertex coloring in graphs, hypergraphs, and simplicial complexes. This coloring also generalizes oriented coloring, acyclic coloring, and star coloring. There is an associated symmetric function in noncommuting variables for which we give a deletion-contraction formula. In the case of graphs this symmetric function in noncommuting variab...

the vertex arboricity $rho(g)$ of a graph $g$ is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set $v(g)$ can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic graph‎. ‎a graph $g$ is called list vertex $k$-arborable if for any set $l(v)$ of cardinality at least $k$ at each vertex $v$ of $g$‎, ‎one can choose a color for each $v$ from its list $l(v)$ so that the subgraph induced by ev...

The local antimagic total vertex labeling of graph G is a that every vertices and edges label by natural number from 1 to such two adjacent has different weights, where sum the labels all incident vertex. If start smallest then edge so kind coloring called super labeling. That induces for v, weight w(v) color v. minimum colors obtained chromatic G, denoted χlsat(G). In this paper, we consider G...

A graph G is called a complete k-partite (k ≥ 2) graph if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets V1, . . . , Vk such that each vertex in Vi is adjacent to all the other vertices in Vj for 1 ≤ i < j ≤ k. A complete k-partite graph G is a complete balanced kpartite graph if |V1| = |V2| = · · · = |Vk|. An edge-coloring of a graph G with colors 1, . . . , t is an interval t-colorin...

Abs t r ac t . In an edge-coloring of a graph G = (V, E) each color appears around each vertex at most once. An f-coloring is a generalization of an edge-coloring in which each color appears around each vertex v at most f(v) times where f is a function assigning a natural number f(v) e N to each vertex v E V. In this paper we first give a simple reduction of the f-coloring problem to the ordina...

The motivation of this paper comes from statistical physics as well as from combinatorics and topology. The general setup in statistical mechanics can be outlined as follows. Let G be a graph and let C be a finite set of “states” or “colors”. We think of G as a crystal in which either the edges or the vertices are regarded as “sites” which can have states from C. In the first case we speak abou...

A homomorphism from an oriented graph G to an oriented graph H is a mapping φ from the set of vertices of G to the set of vertices of H such that −−−−−−→ φ(u)φ(v) is an arc in H whenever −→ uv is an arc in G. The oriented chromatic index of an oriented graph G is the minimum number of vertices in an oriented graph H such that there exists a homomorphism from the line digraph LD(G) of G to H (th...

The bandwidth coloring problem consists of assigning a color to each vertex of a graph, so that the absolute value of the difference between the colors of adjacent vertices is at least the value of the weight of the associated edge. This problem generalizes the classical vertex coloring problem and different heuristics have recently been proposed to obtain high quality solutions. In this paper ...

In this paper, we introduce the new notion of acyclic improper colorings of graphs. An improper coloring of a graph G is a mapping c from the set of vertices of G to a set of colors such that for every color i, the subgraph induced by the vertices with color i satisses some property depending on i. Such an improper coloring is acyclic if for every two distinct colors i and j, the subgraph induc...

Graph colorings is a fundamental topic in graph theory that require an assignment of labels (or colors) to vertices or edges subject various constraints. We focus on the harmonious coloring graph, which proper vertex such for every two distinct colors i, j at most one pair adjacent are colored with i and j. This type edge-distinguishing has potential applications transportation network, compute...
