Abstract

For a nondecreasing sequence of integers S=(s1,s2,)S=(s_1, s_2, \ldots) an SS-packing kk-coloring of a graph GG is a mapping from V(G)V(G) to {1,2,,k}\{1, 2,\ldots,k\} such that vertices with color ii have pairwise distance greater than sis_i. By setting si=d+i1ns_i = d + \lfloor \frac{i-1}{n} \rfloor we obtain a (d,n)(d,n)-packing coloring of a graph GG. The smallest integer kk for which there exists a (d,n)(d,n)-packing coloring of GG is called the (d,n)(d,n)-packing chromatic number of GG. In the special case when dd and nn are both equal to one we speak of the packing chromatic number of GG. We determine the packing chromatic number of the base-3 Sierpi\'{n}ski graphs SkS_k and provide new results on (d,n)(d,n)-packing chromatic colorings, d2d \le 2, for this class of graphs. By using a dynamic algorithm, we establish the packing chromatic number for HH-graphs H(r)H(r).
