A coloring is distinguishing (or symmetry breaking) if no non-identity automorphism preserves it. The distinguishing threshold of a graph $G$, denoted by $\theta(G)$, is the minimum number of colors $k$ so that every $k$-coloring of $G$ is…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is distinguishing if non-identity automorphisms do not preserve it. The distinguishing number, $D(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required for such a coloring and the distinguishing threshold,…

A vertex coloring is called distinguishing if the identity is the only automorphism that can preserve it. The distinguishing threshold $\theta(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors $k$ required that any arbitrary $k$-coloring…

A \textit{distinguishing coloring} of a graph $G$ is a coloring of the vertices so that every nontrivial automorphism of $G$ maps some vertex to a vertex with a different color. The \textit{distinguishing number} of $G$ is the minimum $k$…

For a graph $G$, a $k$-coloring $c:V(G)\to \{1,2,\ldots, k\}$ is called distinguishing, if the only automorphism $f$ of $G$ with the property $c(v)=c(f(v))$ for every vertex $v\in G$ (color-preserving automorphism), is the identity. In this…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a vertex coloring of $G$ with a set of $d$ colors which breaks all of the automorphisms of $G$ but the identity. We call the minimum $d$ for which a graph $G$ is $d$-distinguishiable…
