Interval edge colorings of some products of graphs
Abstract
An edge coloring of a graph with colors is called an interval -coloring if for each there is at least one edge of colored by , and the colors of edges incident to any vertex of are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph is interval colorable, if there is an integer for which has an interval -coloring. Let be the set of all interval colorable graphs. In 2004 Kubale and Giaro showed that if , then the Cartesian product of these graphs belongs to . Also, they formulated a similar problem for the lexicographic product as an open problem. In this paper we first show that if , then for any . Furthermore, we show that if and is a regular graph, then strong and lexicographic products of graphs belong to . We also prove that tensor and strong tensor products of graphs belong to if and is a regular graph.
