A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is equitable if the sizes of color classes differ by at most one. The equitable chromatic threshold χeq(G) of G is the smallest integer m such that G is equitably n-colorable for all n ≥ m. We show that for planar graphs G with minimum degree at least two, χeq(G) ≤ 4 if the girth of G is at least 10, and χeq(G) ≤ 3 if the girth of G is at least 14.

A graph G is list point k-arborable if, whenever we are given a k-list assignment L(v) of colors for each vertex v ∈ V(G), we can choose a color c(v) ∈ L(v) for each vertex v so that each color class induces an acyclic subgraph of G, and is equitable list point k-arborable if G is list point k-arborable and each color appears on at most ⌈|V(G)|/k⌉ vertices of G. In this paper, we conjecture tha...

A k-edge coloring of G is said to be equitable if the number of edges, at any vertex, colored with a certain color differ by at most one from the number of edges colored with a different color at the same vertex. An STS(v) is said to be polychromatic if the edges in each triple are colored with three different colors. In this paper, we show that every STS(v) admits a 3-edge coloring that is bot...

In Vertex Coloring Problems, one is required to assign a color to each vertex of an undirected graph in such a way that adjacent vertices receive different colors, and the objective is to minimize the cost of the used colors. In this work we solve four different coloring problems formulated as Maximum Weight Stable Set Problems on an associated graph. We exploit the transformation proposed by C...

Equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph G that satisfy restrictive conditions on chordless squares play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian graph products and graph bundles. We show here that such relations in a natural way induce equitable partitions on the vertex set of G, which in turn give rise to quotient graphs that can have a rich product structure even if G itself is prime.

Let G = (V,E) be a graph with n vertices and f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , n} be a bijective function. We define the minimum edge difference as ab(G, f) = min{|f(u)− f(v)| : (u, v) ∈ E}. We say that f is a k-antibandwidth labeling on G if ab(G, f) ≥ k. Let ab(G) = maxf{ab(G, f)}. We therefore investigate the lower bound of ab(G). In other words, to what extent can we maximize the minimum edge diff...

In a simple, finite and undirected graph G with vertex set V edge E, Prof. Sampathkumar defined degree equitability among vertices of G. Two u v are said to be equitable if |deg(u) − deg(v)| ≤ 1. Equitable domination has been studied in [7]. V.R.Kulli B.Janakiram strong non - split [12]. this paper, the version new type is

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...

let g_1 and g_2 be simple connected graphs with disjoint vertex sets v(g_1) and v(g_2), respectively. for given vertices a_1in v(g_1) and a_2in v(g_2), a splice of g_1 and g_2 by vertices a_1 and a_2 is defined by identifying the vertices a_1 and a_2 in the :union: of g_1 and g_2. in this paper, we present exact formulas for computing some vertex-degree-based graph invariants of splice of graphs.
