In this research, the exact results on $r$-dynamic coloring of lexicographic product of path with star graph, path with double star graph, path with triple star graph and finally complete graph with path are obtained.
The $k$-Colouring problem is to decide if the vertices of a graph can be coloured with at most $k$ colours for a fixed integer $k$ such that no two adjacent vertices are coloured alike. If each vertex u must be assigned a colour from a…
A star edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring of $G$ such that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored. The star chromatic index of $G$, denoted by $\chi^{\prime}_{s}(G)$, is the minimum $k$ such that $G$ admits a star…
Graph coloring problems are a central topic of study in the theory of algorithms. We study the problem of partially coloring partially colorable graphs. For $\alpha \leq 1$ and $k \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we say that a graph $G=(V,E)$ is…
In this paper, perfect k-orthogonal colourings of tensor graphs are studied. First, the problem of determining if a given graph has a perfect 2-orthogonal colouring is reformulated as a tensor subgraph problem. Then, it is shown that if two…
A colored graph is a directed graph in which nodes or edges have been assigned colors that are not necessarily unique. Observability problems in such graphs consider whether an agent observing the colors of edges or nodes traversed on a…
Total colouring of 4-regular circulant graphs is an interesting but challenging topic, and has attracted much attention. However, it still remains an open question to determine the total chromatic numbers of $C_{n}(1, 3)$, a subclass of…
The problem of determining if the on-line chromatic number of a graph is less than or equal to k, given a pre-coloring, is shown to be PSPACE-complete.
A star of length $ \ell $ is defined as the complete bipartite graph $ K_{1,\ell } $. In this paper we deal with the problem of edge decomposition of graphs into stars of varying lengths. Given a graph $ G $ and a list of integers…
We consider the following list coloring with separation problem: Given a graph $G$ and integers $a,b$, find the largest integer $c$ such that for any list assignment $L$ of $G$ with $|L(v)|= a$ for any vertex $v$ and $|L(u)\cap L(v)|\le c$…
An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,\ldots,t$ is an \emph{interval $t$-coloring} if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of $G$ are distinct and form an integer interval. It is well-known that…
A proper vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called a star coloring if every two color classes induce a forest whose each component is a star, which means there is no bicolored $P_4$ in $G$. In this paper, we show that the Cartesian product…
Given a graph $G$, the total dominator coloring problem seeks a proper coloring of $G$ with the additional property that every vertex in the graph is adjacent to all vertices of a color class. We seek to minimize the number of color…
In Defective Coloring we are given a graph $G$ and two integers $\chi_d$, $\Delta^*$ and are asked if we can $\chi_d$-color $G$ so that the maximum degree induced by any color class is at most $\Delta^*$. We show that this natural…
We introduce the notion of locally identifying coloring of a graph. A proper vertex-coloring c of a graph G is said to be locally identifying, if for any adjacent vertices u and v with distinct closed neighborhood, the sets of colors that…
For a fixed number of colors, we show that, in node-weighted split graphs, cographs, and graphs of bounded tree-width, one can determine in polynomial time whether a proper list-coloring of the vertices of a graph such that the total weight…
This paper describes several new problems and ideas concerning algebraic geometry and complexity theory. It first uses the idea of coloring graphs with elements of finite fields. This procedure then shows that graph coloring problems can be…
The Additive Coloring Problem is a variation of the Coloring Problem where labels of $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ are assigned to the vertices of a graph $G$ so that the sum of labels over the neighborhood of each vertex is a proper coloring of $G$.…
In the online graph coloring problem, vertices from a graph G, known in advance, arrive in an online fashion and an algorithm must immediately assign a color to each incoming vertex v so that the revealed graph is properly colored. The…
We investigate the computational complexity of the following problem. We are given a graph in which each vertex has an initial and a target color. Each pair of adjacent vertices can swap their current colors. Our goal is to perform the…
