The Factorization of Adjoint Polynomials of E^G（i）-class Graphs and Chromatically Equivalence Analysis

Let Sn be the star with n vertices, and let G be any connected graph with p vertices. We denote by Eτp＋（r-1）^G（i） the graph obtained from Sr and rG by coinciding the i-th vertex of G with the vertex of degree r - 1 of S,, while the i-th vertex of each component of （r - 1）G be adjacented to r - 1 vertices of degree 1 of St, respectively. By applying the properties of adjoint polynomials, We prove that factorization theorem of adjoint polynomials of kinds of graphs Eτp＋（r-1）^G（i）∪（r - 1）K1 （1 ≤i≤p）. Furthermore, we obtain structure characteristics of chromatically equivalent graphs of their complements.

Some results on circular chromatic number of a graph

For two integers k and d with （k, d） = 1 and k≥2d, let G^dk be the graph with vertex set {0,1,…k - 1 } in which ij is an edge if and only if d≤｜ i -j I｜≤k - d. The circular chromatic number χc（G） of a graph G is the minimum of k/d for which G admits a homomorphism to G^dk. The relationship between χc（ G- v） and χc （G）is investigated. In particular, the circular chromatic number of G^dk - v for any vertex v is determined. Some graphs withx χc（G - v） =χc（G） - 1 for any vertex v and with certain properties are presented. Some lower bounds for the circular chromatic number of a graph are studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition under which the circular chromatic number of a graph attains the lower bound χ- 1 ＋ 1/α is proved, where χ is the chromatic number of G and a is its independence number.

Game Chromatic Number of Some Regular Graphs

Let G be a graph and k be a positive integer. We consider a game with two players Alice and Bob who alternate in coloring the vertices of G with a set of k colors. In every turn, one vertex will be chosen by one player. Alice’s goal is to color all vertices with the k colors, while Bob’s goal is to prevent her. The game chromatic number denoted by?χg(G), is the smallest k such that Alice has a winning strategy with k colors. In this paper, we determine the game chromatic number?χg of circulant graphs?Cn(1,2), , and generalized Petersen graphs GP(n,2), GP(n,3).

The Further Results of the Chromatic Uniqueness of Certain Bipartite Graphs K(m, n)-A

With its comprehensive application in network information engineering （e. g. dynamic spectrum allocation under different distance constraints ） and in network combination optimization （e. g. safe storage of deleterious materials）, the graphs＇ cloring theory and chromatic uniqueness theory have been the forward position of graph theory research. The later concerns the equivalent classification of graphs with their color polynomials and the determination of uniqueness of some equivalent classification under isomorphism. In this paper, by introducing the concept of chromatic normality and comparing the number of partitions of two chromatically equivalent graphs, a general numerical condition guarenteeing that bipartite graphs K （ m, n） - A （A belong to E（K （m, n） ） and ｜ A ｜≥ 2） is chromatically unique was obtained and a lot of chromatic uniqueness graphs of bipartite graphs K（m, n） - A were determined. The results obtained in this paper were general. And the results cover and extend the majority of the relevant results obtained within the world.

This covers and improves the former correlative results.

Chromatic Number of Graphs with Special Distance Sets-V

An integer distance graph is a graph G(Z,D) with the set of integers as vertex set and an edge joining two vertices u and?v if and only if ∣u - v∣D where D is a subset of the positive integers. It is known that x(G(Z,D) )=4 where P is a set of Prime numbers. So we can allocate the subsets D of P to four classes, accordingly as is 1 or 2 or 3 or 4. In this paper we have considered the open problem of characterizing class three and class four sets when the distance set D is not only a subset of primes P but also a special class of primes like Additive primes, Deletable primes, Wedderburn-Etherington Number primes, Euclid-Mullin sequence primes, Motzkin primes, Catalan primes, Schroder primes, Non-generous primes, Pell primes, Primeval primes, Primes of Binary Quadratic Form, Smarandache-Wellin primes, and Highly Cototient number primes. We also have indicated the membership of a number of special classes of prime numbers in class 2 category.
