Vertex-distinguishing IE-total Colorings of Cycles and Wheels

Let G be a simple graph. An IE-total coloring f of G refers to a coloring of the vertices and edges of G so that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. Let C（u） be the set of colors of vertex u and edges incident to u 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 V （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 χievt（G）, and is called the VDIET chromatic number of G. We get the VDIET chromatic numbers of cycles and wheels, and propose related conjectures in this paper.

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.

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.

Vertex-distinguishing Total Colorings of 2Cn

Let f be a proper total k-coloring of a simple graph G. For any vertex x ∈ V（G）, let Cf（x） denote the set of colors assigned to vertex x and the edges incident with x. If Cf（u） ≠ Cf（v） for all distinct vertices u and v of V（G）, then f is called a vertex- distinguishing total k-coloring of G. The minimum number k for which there exists a vertex- distinguishing total k-coloring of G is called the vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of G and denoted by Xvt（G）. The vertex-disjoint union of two cycles of length n is denoted by 2Cn. We will obtain Xvt（2Cn） in this paper.

Adjacent vertex-distinguishing total colorings of K_s∨K_t

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.

On the adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs

A proper edge coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring if there is no 2-colored cycle in G and the coloring set of edges incident with u is not equal to the coloring set of edges incident with v, where uv∈ E（G）. The adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by X＇Aa（G）, is the minimal number of colors in an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of G. If a graph G has an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring, then G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic. In this paper, we obtain adjacent vertex-distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of some graphs and put forward some conjectures.

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.

Algorithm on the Optimal Vertex-Distinguishing Total Coloring of mC9

Let G be a simple graph and f be a proper total coloring(or a total coloring in brief) of G. For any vertex u in G, Cf(u) denote the set of colors of vertex u and edges which incident with vertex u. Cf(u) is said to be the color set of vertex u under f. If Cf(u) = Cf(v)for any two distinct vertices u and v of G, then f is called vertex-distinguishing total coloring of G(in brief VDTC), a vertex distinguishing total coloring using k colors is called k-vertexdistinguishing total coloring of G(in brief k-VDTC). The minimum number k for which there exists a k-vertex-distinguishing total coloring of G is called the vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of G, denoted by χvt(G). By the method of prior distributing the color sets, we obtain vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of m C9 in this paper.

We give the optimal I-(VI-)total colorings of mC_(4)which are vertex-distinguished by multiple sets by the use of the method of constructing a matrix whose entries are the suitable multiple sets or empty sets and the method of distributing color set in advance.Thereby we obtain I-(VI-)total chromatic numbers of mC_(4)which are vertex-distinguished by multiple sets.

Vertex-Distinguishing E-Total Coloring of the Graphs mC_3 and mC_4

Let G be a simple graph. A total coloring f of G is called 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 E-total-coloring f of a graph G and any vertex u of G, let Cf （u） or C（u） denote the set of colors of vertex u and the edges incident to u. We call C（u） the color set of u. 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 colorings of G is denoted by X^evt（G）, and it is called the VDET chromatic number of G. In this article, we will discuss vertex-distinguishing E-total colorings of the graphs mC3 and mC4.

Let G（V, E） be a graph. A k-adjacent vertex-distinguishing equatable edge coloring of G, k-AVEEC for short, is a proper edge coloring f if （1） C（u）≠C（v） for uv ∈ E（G）, where C（u） = {f（uv）｜uv ∈ E}, and （2） for any i, j = 1, 2,… k, we have ｜｜Ei｜ ｜Ej｜｜ ≤ 1, where Ei = {e｜e ∈ E（G） and f（e） = i}. χáve （G） = min{k｜ there exists a k-AVEEC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing equitable edge chromatic number of G. In this paper, we obtain the χ áve （G） of some special graphs and present a conjecture.
