The edge-distinguishing chromatic number (EDCN) of a graph $G$ is the minimum positive integer $k$ such that there exists a vertex coloring $c:V(G)to{1,2,dotsc,k}$ whose induced edge labels ${c(u),c(v)}$ are distinct for all edges $uv$. Previous work has determined the EDCN of paths, cycles, and spider graphs with three legs. In this paper, we determine the EDCN of petal graphs with two petals and a loop, cycles with one chord, and spider graphs with four legs. These are achieved by graph embedding into looped complete graphs.
Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $Delta(G)$ and chromatic index $chi(G)$. A classic result of Vizing indicates that either $chi(G )=Delta(G)$ or $chi(G )=Delta(G)+1$. The graph $G$ is called $Delta$-critical if $G$ is connected, $chi(G )
Let Q(n,c) denote the minimum clique size an n-vertex graph can have if its chromatic number is c. Using Ramsey graphs we give an exact, albeit implicit, formula for the case c is at least (n+3)/2.
A signed graph is a pair $(G, sigma)$, where $G$ is a graph and $sigma: E(G) to {+, -}$ is a signature which assigns to each edge of $G$ a sign. Various notions of coloring of signed graphs have been studied. In this paper, we extend circular colorin
By a finite type-graph we mean a graph whose set of vertices is the set of all $k$-subsets of $[n]={1,2,ldots, n}$ for some integers $nge kge 1$, and in which two such sets are adjacent if and only if they realise a certain order type specified in ad
Given a graph $G$, denote by $Delta$, $bar{d}$ and $chi^prime$ the maximum degree, the average degree and the chromatic index of $G$, respectively. A simple graph $G$ is called {it edge-$Delta$-critical} if $chi^prime(G)=Delta+1$ and $chi^prime(H)leD
