For a colour cluster $\C =(\mathcal{C}_1,\mathcal{C}_2, \mathcal{C}_3,\dots,\mathcal{C}_\ell)$, $\mathcal{C}_i$ is a colour class, and $|\mathcal{C}_i|=r_i \geq 1$, we investigate a simple connected graph structure $G^{\C}$, which…

In this paper we introduce a variation of the well-known Zagreb indices by considering a proper vertex colouring of a graph $G$. The chromatic Zagreb indices are defined in terms of the parameter $c(v), v \in V(G)$ instead of the invariant…

The clustered chromatic number of a graph class $\mathcal{G}$ is the minimum integer $c$ such that every graph $G\in\mathcal{G}$ has a $c$-colouring where each monochromatic component in $G$ has bounded size. We study the clustered…

Let $f$ be a proper $k$-coloring of a connected graph $G$ and $\Pi=(V_1,V_2,...,V_k)$ be an ordered partition of $V(G)$ into the resulting color classes. For a vertex $v$ of $G$, the color code of $v$ with respect to $\Pi$ is defined to be…

Given a graph $G$, a coloring $c:V(G)\longrightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that $c(u)=c(v)=i$ implies that vertices $u$ and $v$ are at distance greater than $i$, is called a packing coloring of $G$. The minimum number of colors in a packing…

The packing chromatic number $\chi_{\rho}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that there exists a $k$-vertex coloring of $G$ in which any two vertices receiving color $i$ are at distance at least $i+1$. It is proved that in…

Following a given ordering of the edges of a graph $G$, the greedy edge colouring procedure assigns to each edge the smallest available colour. The minimum number of colours thus involved is the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$, and the maximum…

We investigate the \textit{group sum chromatic number} ($\gchi(G)$) of graphs, i.e. the smallest value $s$ such that taking any Abelian group $\gr$ of order $s$, there exists a function $f:E(G)\rightarrow \gr$ such that the sums of edge…

Topological indices are real numbers invariant under graph isomorphisms. Chromatic analogue of topological indices has been introduced recently in literature in 2017. Mainly, chromatic versions of Zagreb indices are studied lately. This…

The curling number of a graph G is defined as the number of times an element in the degree sequence of G appears the maximum. Graph colouring is an assignment of colours, labels or weights to the vertices or edges of a graph. A colouring…

The distinguishing chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_D(G)$, is the minimum number of colours in a proper vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved by the identity automorphism only. Collins and Trenk proved that $\chi_D(G)\le…

For a simple graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, the first Zagreb index and the second Zagreb index are defined as $M_1(G)=\sum_{v\in V}d(v)^2 $ and $M_2(G)=\sum_{uv\in E}d(u)d(v)$. In \cite{VGFAD}, it was shown that if a connected…
