For a graph $G$ and $t,k\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ a \emph{$t$-tone $k$-coloring} of $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \binom{[k]}{t}$ such that $|f(v)\cap f(w)| < d(v,w)$ for all distinct $v,w \in V(G)$. The \emph{$t$-tone chromatic number} of…

For integers $k, r > 0$, a conditional $(k,r)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper $k$-coloring of the vertices of $G$ such that every vertex $v$ of degree $d(v)$ in $G$ is adjacent to at least $\min\{r, d(v)\}$ differently colored…

An edge coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,\ldots ,t$ is called an interval $t$-coloring if for each $i\in \{1,2,\ldots,t\}$ there is at least one edge of $G$ colored by $i$, and the colors of edges incident to any vertex of $G$ are…

The dichromatic number of a digraph $G$ is the smallest integer $\chi_a(G)$ such that the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into $\chi_a(G)$ sets, each of which induces an acyclic subdigraph. This is a generalization of the classic…

In this work, we study the $\delta$-chromatic number of a graph which is the chromatic number of the $\delta$-complement of a graph. We give a structure of the $\delta$-complements and sharp bounds on the $\delta$-chromatic numbers of the…

A graph is k-total colourable if there is an assignment of k different colours to the vertices and edges of the graph such that no two adjacent nor incident elements receive the same colour. The total chromatic number of some direct product…

In this paper, we look into Signed Product Cordial Labeling for Splitting Graphs of Bull graph and Splitting graph of Star graph , Square of Path graph, Coronaand also for the graph obtained by joining two copies of Helm by a Path of…

For a positive integer $k$, a proper $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a mapping $f: V(G) \rightarrow \{1,2, \ldots, k\}$ such that $f(u) \neq f(v)$ for each edge $uv$ of $G$. The smallest integer $k$ for which there is a proper $k$-coloring…

In 1982, Zaslavsky introduced the concept of a proper vertex colouring of a signed graph $G$ as a mapping $\phi\colon V(G)\to \mathbb{Z}$ such that for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ the colour $\phi(u)$ is different from the colour…

We introduce joins of signed graphs and explore the chromatic number of the all-positive and all-negative joins. We prove an analogue to the theorem that the chromatic number of the join of two graphs equals the sum of their chromatic…

In this paper, we study the Cartesian product of signed graphs as defined by Germina, Hameed and Zaslavsky (2011). Here we focus on its algebraic properties and look at the chromatic number of some Cartesian products. One of our main…

A signed graph is a simple graph with two types of edges. Switching a vertex $v$ of a signed graph corresponds to changing the type of each edge incident to $v$. A homomorphism from a signed graph $G$ to another signed graph $H$ is a…

The paper studies edge-coloring of signed multigraphs and extends classical Theorems of Shannon and K\"onig to signed multigraphs. We prove that the chromatic index of a signed multigraph $(G,\sigma_G)$ is at most $\lfloor \frac{3}{2}…

The harmonious chromatic number of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors that can be assigned to the vertices of $G$ in a proper way such that any two distinct edges have different color pairs. This paper gives various results on…

We introduce the fractional version of oriented coloring and initiate its study. We prove some basic results and study the parameter for directed cycles and sparse planar graphs. In particular, we show that for every $\epsilon > 0$, there…

A topological index of a graph $G$ is a real number which is preserved under isomorphism. Extensive studies on certain polynomials related to these topological indices have also been done recently. In a similar way, chromatic versions of…

Recent results show that several important graph classes can be embedded as subgraphs of strong products of simpler graphs classes (paths, small cliques, or graphs of bounded treewidth). This paper develops general techniques to bound the…

In 2020, Behr defined the problem of edge coloring of signed graphs and showed that every signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ can be colored using exactly $\Delta(G)$ or $\Delta(G) + 1$ colors, where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximum degree in graph $G$.…

We prove that every subcubic triangle-free graph has fractional chromatic number at most 14/5, thus confirming a conjecture of Heckman and Thomas [A new proof of the independence ratio of triangle-free cubic graphs. Discrete Math. 233…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, and connected graph. The locating-chromatic number of a graph $G$ can be defined as the cardinality of a minimum resolving partition of the vertex set $V(G)$ such that all vertices have different…
