In this paper, we study the conflict-free coloring of graphs induced by neighborhoods. A coloring of a graph is conflict-free if every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its neighborhood. The conflict-free coloring problem is to color the vertices of a graph using the minimum number of colors such that the coloring is conflict-free. We consider both closed neighborhoods, where the neighbor...

For a bounded integer , we wish to color all edges of a graph G so that any two edges within distance have different colors. Such a coloring is called a distance-edge-coloring or an -edge-coloring of G. The distance-edge-coloring problem is to compute the minimum number of colors required for a distance-edge-coloring of a given graph G. A partial k-tree is a graph with tree-width bounded by a f...

Graph coloring in general is an extremely easy-to-understand yet powerful tool. It has wide-ranging applications from register allocation to image segmentation. For such a simple problem, however, the question is surprisingly intractable. In this section I will introduce the problem formally, as well as present some general background on graph coloring. There are several ways to color a graph, ...

A twin edge k-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G with the elements of Zk so that the induced vertex coloring in which the color of a vertex v in G is the sum (in Zk) of the colors of the edges incident with v is a proper vertex coloring. The minimum k for which G has a twin edge k-coloring is called the twin chromatic index of G. Among the results presented are formulas for th...

Efficiently coloring an arbitrary graph is a fundamental and notoriously difficult algorithmic problem. This talk focuses on the restricted problem of determining the complexity of coloring graphs which do not contain a certain induced subgraph. Combining results of Kamiński and Lozin, and Hoyler, it follows that this problem remains NP-complete unless the excluded induced subgraph is a disjoin...

A graph edge is d-coloring redundant if the removal of the edge does not change the set of dcolorings of the graph. Graphs that are too sparse or too dense do not have coloring redundant edges. Tight upper and lower bounds on the number of edges in a graph in order for the graph to have a coloring redundant edge are proven. Two constructions link the class of graphs with a coloring redundant ed...

background understanding environmental factors affecting the educational process and including them in educational planning will lead into increased outcome of education, mental health, reduced stress, and higher education performance. this study was conducted to investigate the impact of educational spaces coloring on learning and academic achievement of elementary school students in the acade...

Graph coloring was exploited in wireless sensor networks to solve many optimization problems. These problems are related in general to channel assignment. In this paper, we propose to jointly use coloring for routing purposes. We introduce CHRA a coloring based hierarchical routing approach. Coloring is exploited to avoid interferences and also to schedule nodes transmissions to sink. We provid...

In this paper we investigate a variation of the graph coloring game, as studied in [2]. In the original coloring game, two players, Alice and Bob, alternate coloring vertices on a graph with legal colors from a fixed color set, where a color α is legal for a vertex if said vertex has no neighbors colored α. Other variations of the game change this definition of a legal color. For a fixed color ...

Moreover, for general we -coloring
