On the adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring if there is no 2-colored cycle in G and the coloring set of edges incident with u is not equal to the coloring set of edges incident with v, where uv∈ E（G）. The adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by X＇Aa（G）, is the minimal number of colors in an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of G. If a graph G has an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring, then G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic. In this paper, we obtain adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs and put forward some conjectures.

On the Adjacent Strong Edge Coloring of Outer Plane Graphs

A k-adjacent strong edge coloring of graph G(V, E) is defined as a proper k-edge coloring f of graph G(V, E) such that f[u] ≠ f[v] for every uv ∈ E(G), where f[u] = {f(uw)|uw ∈ E(G)} and f(uw) denotes the color of uw, and the adjacent strong edge chromatic number is defined as x'as(G) = min{k| there is a k-adjacent strong edge coloring of G}. In this paper, it has been proved that △ ≤ x'as(G) ≤ △ + 1 for outer plane graphs with △(G) ≥ 5, and X'as(G) = △ + 1 if and only if there exist adjacent vertices with maximum degree.

On the Adjacent Strong Edge Coloring of Halin Graphs

A proper k-edge coloring f of graph G(V, E) is said to be a k:-adjacent strong edge coloring of graph G(V,E) iff every uv∈E(G) satisfy f[u]≠f/[v], where f[u] = {f(uw)|uw ∈E(G)} then f is called k-adjacent strong edge coloring of G, is abbreviated k-ASEC: and x'as(G) = min{k|k-ASEC of G} is called the adjacent strong edge chromatic number. In this paper, we study the x'as(G) of Halin graphs with △A(G)≥5.

Adjacent Strong Edge Chromatic Number of Series-Parallel Graphs

In this paper, we will study the adjacent strong edge coloring of series-parallel graphs, and prove that series-parallel graphs of △(G) = 3 and 4 satisfy the conjecture of adjacent strong edge coloring using the double inductions and the method of exchanging colors from the aspect of configuration property. For series-parallel graphs of △(G) ≥ 5, △(G) ≤ x'as(G) ≤ △(G) + 1. Moreover, x'as(G) = △(G) + 1 if and only if it has two adjacent vertices of maximum degree, where △(G) and X'as(G) denote the maximum degree and the adjacent strong edge chromatic number of graph G respectively.

An Upper Bound for the Adjacent Vertex Distinguishing Acyclic Edge Chromatic Number of a Graph

A proper k-edge coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring if there is no 2-colored cycle in G and the color set of edges incident to u is not equal to the color set of edges incident to v, where uv ∈E（G）. The adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by χ＇αα（G）, is the minimal number of colors in an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of G. In this paper we prove that if G（V, E） is a graph with no isolated edges, then χ＇αα（G）≤32△.

Adjacent strong edge colorings and total colorings of regular graphs

It is conjectured that X as ′ (G) = X t (G) for every k-regular graph G with no C 5 component (k ? 2). This conjecture is shown to be true for many classes of graphs, including: graphs of type 1; 2-regular, 3-regular and (|V(G)| - 2)-regular graphs; bipartite graphs; balanced complete multipartite graphs; k-cubes; and joins of two matchings or cycles.

A Note on Adjacent Strong Edge Coloring of K(n,m)

On the Adjacent Vertex-distinguishing Equitable Edge Coloring of Graphs

Let G（V, E） be a graph. A k-adjacent vertex-distinguishing equatable edge coloring of G, k-AVEEC for short, is a proper edge coloring f if （1） C（u）≠C（v） for uv ∈ E（G）, where C（u） = {f（uv）｜uv ∈ E}, and （2） for any i, j = 1, 2,… k, we have ｜｜Ei｜ ｜Ej｜｜ ≤ 1, where Ei = {e｜e ∈ E（G） and f（e） = i}. χáve （G） = min{k｜ there exists a k-AVEEC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing equitable edge chromatic number of G. In this paper, we obtain the χ áve （G） of some special graphs and present a conjecture.

GRAPH COLORING BASED CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT FRAMEWORK FOR RURAL WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS

IEEE 802.11 based wireless mesh networks with directional antennas are expected to be a new promising technology and an economic approach for providing wireless broadband services in rural areas.In this paper,we discuss interference models and address how they can affect the design of channel assignment in rural mesh networks.We present a new channel assignment framework based on graph coloring for rural wireless mesh networks.The goal of the framework is to allow synchronously transmitting or receiving data from multiple neighbor links at the same time,and continuously doing full-duplex data transfer on every link,creating an efficient rural mesh network without interference.Channel assignment is shown to be NP-hard.We frame this channel allocation problem in terms of Adjacent Vertex Distinguishing Edge Coloring(AVDEC).Detailed assignment results on grid topology are presented and discussed.Furthermore,we design an algorithm.Finally,we evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm through extensive simulations and show the algorithm is effective to the regular grid topologies,and the number of colors used by the algorithm is upper bounded by+1.Hence the algorithm guarantees that the number of channels available in standards such as IEEE802.11a is sufficient to have a valid AVDEC for many grid topologies.We also evaluate the proposed algorithm for arbitrary graphs.The algorithm provides a lower upper bound on the minimum number of channels to the AVDEC index channel assignment problem.
