Solutions for two conjectures on kaleidoscopic edge-colorings
Abstract
For an -regular graph , we define an edge-coloring with colors from , in such a way that any vertex of is incident to at least one edge of each color. The multiset-color of a vertex is defined as the ordered tuple , where denotes the number of edges with color which are incident with in . Then this edge-coloring is called a {\it -kaleidoscopic coloring} of if every two distinct vertices in have different multiset-colors and in this way the graph is defined as a {\it -kaleidoscope}. In this paper, we determine the integer for a complete graph to be a -kaleidoscope, and hence solve a conjecture in [P. Zhang, A Kaleidoscopic View of Graph Colorings, Springer, New York, 2016] that for any integers and with , the complete graph is a -kaleidoscope. Then, we construct an -regular -kaleidoscope of order for each integer , where , which solves another conjecture in the same book on the maximum order for -regular -kaleidoscopes.
