The minimum number of colors needed to f-color G is called the f-chromatic index of G and is denoted by X′f(G). Any simple graph G has the f-chromatic index equal to △f(G) or △f(G) + 1, where △f(G) =max v V(G){[d(v)/f(v)]}. If X′f(G) = △f(G), then G is of f-class 1; otherwise G is of f-class 2. In this paper, a class of graphs of f-class 1 are obtained by a constructive proof. As a result, f-colorings of these graphs with △f(G) colors are given.展开更多

The f-core of G is the subgraph of G induced by the vertices v of degree d(v) = f(v)maxv∈y(G){ [d(v)/f(v)l}. In this paper, we find some necessary conditions for a simple graph, whose f-core has maximum degree two, to be of class 2 for f-colorings.展开更多
