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.

Coloring of some integer distance graphs

An integer distance graph is a graph G(Z, D) with the integer set Z as vertexset, in which an edge joining two vertices u and v if and only if | u - v | ∈ D, where D is a setof natural numbers. Using a related theorem in combinatorics and some conclusions known to us in thecoloring of the distance graph, the chromatic number _X(G) is determined in this paper that is ofthe distance graph G(Z, D) for some finite distance sets D containing {2, 3} with D = 4 andcontaining {2, 3, 5} with | D | = 5 by the method in which the combination of a few periodiccolorings.

A necessary and sufficient condition for a vertex-transitive graph to be star extremal

A graph is called star extremal if its fractional chromatic number is equal to its circular chromatic number. We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph G to have circular chromatic number V(G)/α(G) (where V(G) is the vertex number of G and α(G) is its independence number). From this result, we get a necessary and sufficient condition for a vertex-transitive graph to be star extremal as well as a necessary and sufficient condition for a circulant graph to be star extremal. Using these conditions, we obtain several classes of star extremal graphs.

Vertex-distinguishing E-total Coloring of Complete Bipartite Graph K 7,n when7≤n≤95

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called an E-total coloring if no two adjacent vertices of G receive the same color, and no edge of G receives the same color as one of its endpoints. For an E-total coloring f of a graph G and any vertex x of G, let C（x） denote the set of colors of vertex x and of the edges incident with x, we call C（x） the color set of x. If C（u） ≠ C（v） for any two different vertices u and v of V （G）, then we say that f is a vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G or a VDET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDET coloring of G is denoted by Хvt^e（G） and is called the VDE T chromatic number of G. The VDET coloring of complete bipartite graph K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） is discussed in this paper and the VDET chromatic number of K7,n （7 ≤ n ≤ 95） has been obtained.

Let G be a simple graph of order at least 2.A VE-total-coloring using k colors of a graph G is a mapping f from V (G) E(G) into {1,2,···,k} such that no edge receives the same color as one of its endpoints.Let C(u)={f(u)} {f(uv) | uv ∈ E(G)} be the color-set of u.If C(u)=C(v) for any two vertices u and v of V (G),then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing VE-total coloring of G or a k-VDVET coloring of G for short.The minimum number of colors required for a VDVET coloring of G is denoted by χ ve vt (G) and it is called the VDVET chromatic number of G.In this paper we get cycle C n,path P n and complete graph K n of their VDVET chromatic numbers and propose a related conjecture.

The Star-Extremality of Circulant Graphs

The circular chromatic number and the fractional chromatic number are two generalizations of the ordinary chromatic number of a graph. We say a graph G is star extremal if its circular chromatic number is equal to its fractional chromatic number. This paper gives an improvement of a theorem. And we show that several classes of circulant graphs are star extremal.

A Class of Star Extremal Circulant Graphs

The circular chromatic number and the fractional chromatic number are two generalizations of the ordinary chromatic number of a graph. A graph is called star extremal if its fractional chromatic number equals to its circular chromatic number (also known as the star chromatic number). This paper studies the star extremality of the circulant graphs whose generating sets are of the form {±1,±k} .

CIRCULAR CHROMATIC NUMBER AND MYCIELSKI GRAPHS

For a general graph G, M（G） denotes its Mycielski graph. This article gives a number of new sufficient conditions for G to have the circular chromatic number xc（M（G）） equals to the chromatic number x（M（G））, which have improved some best sufficient conditions published up to date.

Circular Chromatic Numbers of Some Distance Graphs

The circular chromatic number of a graph is an important parameter of a graph. The distance graph G(Z,D) , with a distance set D , is the infinite graph with vertex set Z={0,±1,±2,...} in which two vertices x and y are adjacent iff y-x∈D . This paper determines the circular chromatic numbers of two classes of distance graphs G(Z,D m,k,k+1 ) and G(Z,D m,k,k+1,k+2 ).

The Circular Chromatic Number of Some Special Graphs

The circular chromatic number of a graph is a natural generalization of the chromatic number. Circular chromatic number contains more information about the structure of a graph than chromatic number does. In this paper we obtain the circular chromatic numbers of special graphs such as C t k and C t k-v, and give a simple proof of the circular chromatic number of H m,n .

Adjacent Vertex-distinguishing E-total Coloring on Some Join Graphs Cm V Gn

Let G(V, E) be a simple connected graph and k be positive integers. A mapping f from V∪E to {1, 2, ··· , k} is called an adjacent vertex-distinguishing E-total coloring of G(abbreviated to k-AVDETC), if for uv ∈ E(G), we have f(u) ≠ f(v), f(u) ≠ f(uv), f(v) ≠ f(uv), C(u) ≠C(v), where C(u) = {f(u)}∪{f(uv)|uv ∈ E(G)}. The least number of k colors required for which G admits a k-coloring is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing E-total chromatic number of G is denoted by x^e_(at) (G). In this paper, the adjacent vertexdistinguishing E-total colorings of some join graphs C_m∨G_n are obtained, where G_n is one of a star S_n , a fan F_n , a wheel W_n and a complete graph K_n . As a consequence, the adjacent vertex-distinguishing E-total chromatic numbers of C_m∨G_n are confirmed.

Vertex-distinguishing IE-total Colorings of Complete Bipartite Graphs K8,n

Let G be a simple graph. An IE-total coloring f of G is a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. For each vertex x of G, let C(x) be the set of colors of vertex x and edges incident to x under f. For an IE-total coloring f of G using k colors, if C(u) ≠ C(v) for any two different vertices u and v of G, then f is called a k-vertex-distinguishing IE-total-coloring of G or a k-VDIET coloring of G for short. The minimum number of colors required for a VDIET coloring of G is denoted by χ_(vt)^(ie) (G) and is called vertex-distinguishing IE-total chromatic number or the VDIET chromatic number of G for short. The VDIET colorings of complete bipartite graphs K_(8,n)are discussed in this paper. Particularly, the VDIET chromatic number of K_(8,n) are obtained.

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.

EDGE-FACE CHROMATIC NUMBER OF 2-CONNECTED PLANE GRAPHS WITH HIGH MAXIMUM DEGREE

The edge-face chromatic number Xef （G） of a plane graph G is the least number of colors assigned to the edges and faces such that every adjacent or incident pair of them receives different colors. In this article, the authors prove that every 2-connected plane graph G with △（G）≥｜G｜ - 2≥9 has Xef（G） = △（G）.

A SEVEN-COLOR THEOREM ON EDGE-FACE COLORING OF PLANE GRAPHS

Melnikov(1975) conjectured that the edges and faces of a plane graph G can be colored with △(G) + 3 colors so that any two adjacent or incident elements receive distinct colors, where △(G) denotes the maximum degree of G. This paper proves the conjecture for the case △(G) ≤4.

ON THE TOTAL COLORING OF GRAPH G ∨H

The total chromatic number XT(G) of graph G is the least number of colorsassigned to VE(G) such that no adjacent or incident elements receive the same color.Gived graphs G1,G2, the join of G1 and G2, denoted by G1∨G2, is a graph G, V(G) =V(GI)∪V(G2) and E(G) = E(G1)∪E(G2) ∪{uv | u∈(G1), v ∈ V(G2)}. In this paper, it's proved that if v(G) = v(H), both Gc and Hc contain perfect matching and one of the followings holds: (i)Δ(G) =Δ(H) and there exist edge e∈ E(G), e' E E(H)such that both G-e and H-e' are of Class l; (ii)Δ(G)<Δ(H) and there exixst an edge e ∈E(H) such that H-e is of Class 1, then, the total coloring conjecture is true for graph G ∨H.

Colouring of COVID-19 Affected Region Based on Fuzzy Directed Graphs

Graph colouring is the system of assigning a colour to each vertex of a graph.It is done in such a way that adjacent vertices do not have equal colour.It is fundamental in graph theory.It is often used to solve real-world problems like traffic light signalling,map colouring,scheduling,etc.Nowadays,social networks are prevalent systems in our life.Here,the users are considered as vertices,and their connections/interactions are taken as edges.Some users follow other popular users’profiles in these networks,and some don’t,but those non-followers are connected directly to the popular profiles.That means,along with traditional relationship(information flowing),there is another relation among them.It depends on the domination of the relationship between the nodes.This type of situation can be modelled as a directed fuzzy graph.In the colouring of fuzzy graph theory,edge membership plays a vital role.Edge membership is a representation of flowing information between end nodes of the edge.Apart from the communication relationship,there may be some other factors like domination in relation.This influence of power is captured here.In this article,the colouring of directed fuzzy graphs is defined based on the influence of relationship.Along with this,the chromatic number and strong chromatic number are provided,and related properties are investigated.An application regarding COVID-19 infection is presented using the colouring of directed fuzzy graphs.
