A graph G is chromatically unique if for any simple graph H, P（H,λ） = P（G,λ） implies that H is isomorphic to G. Many sufficient conditions guaranteeing that some certain complete tripartite graphs are chromatically unique were obtained by many scholars. Especially, in 2003, Zou Hui-wen showed that if n 〉 1/3m2 ＋ 3/1k2 ＋ 3/1mk＋ 1/3m-1/3k＋ 3/2√m2 ＋ k2 ＋ mk, where n,k and m are non-negative integers, then the complete tripartite graph K（n - m,n,n ＋ k） is chromatically unique （or simply χ–unique）. In this paper, we prove that for any non-negative integers n,m and k, where m ≥ 2 and k ≥ 0, if n ≥ 3/1m2 ＋ 3/1k2 ＋ 3/1mk ＋ 3/1m - 3/1k ＋ 43, then the complete tripartite graph K（n - m,n,n ＋ k） is χ–unique, which is an improvement on Zou Hui-wen’s result in the case m ≥ 2 and k ≥ 0. Furthermore, we present a related conjecture.展开更多

We write [G] = {HIH - G}. If [G] = {G}, then G is said to be chromatically unique.

Using these results, we investigate the chromaticity of G with certain star or matching deleted. As a by-product, many new families of chromatically unique complete 6-partite graphs with certain star or matching deleted are obtained.展开更多
