Some Remarks on Rainbow Connectivity

Combinatorics 2016-10-27 v2

Abstract

An edge (vertex) coloured graph is rainbow-connected if there is a rainbow path between any two vertices, i.e. a path all of whose edges (internal vertices) carry distinct colours. Rainbow edge (vertex) connectivity of a graph GG is the smallest number of colours needed for a rainbow edge (vertex) colouring of GG. In this paper we propose a very simple approach to studying rainbow connectivity in graphs. Using this idea, we give a unified proof of several known results, as well as some new ones.
