文摘Let G=(V,E)be a graph andφbe a total coloring of G by using the color set{1,2,...,k}.Let f(v)denote the sum of the color of the vertex v and the colors of all incident edges of v.We say thatφis neighbor sum distinguishing if for each edge uv∈E(G),f(u)=f(v).The smallest number k is called the neighbor sum distinguishing total chromatic number,denoted byχ′′nsd(G).Pil′sniak and Wo′zniak conjectured that for any graph G with at least two vertices,χ′′nsd(G)(G)+3.In this paper,by using the famous Combinatorial Nullstellensatz,we show thatχ′′nsd(G)2(G)+col(G)-1,where col(G)is the coloring number of G.Moreover,we prove this assertion in its list version.
