Anti-van der Waerden Numbers of Graph Products

Combinatorics 2018-05-09 v1

Abstract

In this paper, anti-van der Waerden numbers on Cartesian products of graphs are investigated and a conjecture made by Schulte, et al (see arXiv:1802.01509) is answered. In particular, the anti-van der Waerden number of the Cartesian product of two graphs has an upper bound of four. This result is then used to determine the anti-van der Waerden number for any Cartesian product of two paths.
