The color set of each vertex v of G is the set of colors appearing on v and the edges incident to v. The coloring f is said to be an adjacent vertex-distinguishing total coloring if the color sets of any two adjacent vertices are distinct.

文摘Let G be a simple graph and f be a proper total kcoloring of G. The color set of each vertex v of G is the set of colors appearing on v and the edges incident to v. The coloring f is said to be an adjacent vertex-distinguishing total coloring if the color sets of any two adjacent vertices are distinct. The minimum k for which such a coloring of G exists is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of G. The join graph of two vertex-disjoint graphs is the graph union of these two graphs together with all the edges that connect the vertices of one graph with the vertices of the other. The adjacent vertex-distinguishing total chromatic numbers of the join graphs of an empty graph of order s and a complete graph of order t are determined.
