Distinguishing threshold for some graph operations

Abstract

A vertex coloring of a graph GG is distinguishing if non-identity automorphisms do not preserve it. The distinguishing number, D(G)D(G), is the minimum number of colors required for such a coloring and the distinguishing threshold, θ(G)\theta(G), is the minimum number of colors~kk such that any arbitrary kk-coloring is distinguishing. Moreover, Φk(G)\Phi_k (G) is the number of distinguishing coloring of GG using at most kk colors. In this paper, for some graph operations, namely, vertex-sum, rooted product, corona product and lexicographic product, we find formulae of the distinguishing number and threshold using Φk(G)\Phi_k (G).
