On New Thue Colouring Concepts of Certain Graphs

Combinatorics 2016-01-13 v1

Abstract

The Thue colouring of a graph is a colouring such that the sequence of vertex colours of any path of even and finite length in GG is non-repetitive. The change in the Thue number, π(G)\pi(G), as edges are iteratively removed from a graph GG is studied. The notion of the τ\tau-index denoted, τ(G)\tau(G), of a graph GG is introduced as well. τ(G)\tau(G) serves as a measure for the efficiency of edge deletion to reduce the Thue chromatic number of a graph.
