A b-coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertices of G such that there exists a vertex in each color class joined to at least one vertex in each other color classes. The b-chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by φ(G), is the largest integer k such that G has a b-coloring with k colors. The b-chromatic sum of a graph G(V, E), denoted by φ′(G) is defined as the minimum of sum of colors c(v) of v for all v ∈ V in a b-coloring of G using φ(G) colors. The Mycielskian or Mycielski, μ(H) of a graph H with vertex set {v1, v2,…, vn} is a graph G obtained from H by adding a set of n + 1 new vertices {u, u1, u2, …, un} joining u to each vertex ui(1 ≤ i ≤ n) and joining ui to each neighbour of vi in H. In this paper, the b-chromatic sum of Mycielskian of cycles, complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs are discussed. Also, an application of b-coloring in image processing is discussed here.

Using a $\mathbb{Z}_q$-generalization of a theorem of Ky Fan, we extend to Kneser hypergraphs a theorem of Simonyi and Tardos that ensures the existence of multicolored complete bipartite graphs in any proper coloring of a Kneser graph. It allows to derive a lower bound for the local chromatic number of Kneser hypergraphs (using a natural definition of what can be the local chromatic number of a uniform hypergraph).

A b-coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertices of G such that there exists a vertex in each color class joined to at least one vertex in each other color classes. The b-chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by [Formula: see text], is the maximum integer [Formula: see text] such that G admits a b-coloring with [Formula: see text] colors. In this paper we introduce a new concept, the b-chromatic sum of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text] and is defined as the minimum of sum of colors [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text] in a b-coloring of [Formula: see text] using [Formula: see text] colors. Also obtained the b-chromatic sum of paths, cycles, wheel graph, complete graph, star graph, double star graph, complete bipartite graph, corona of paths and corona of cycles.

<p>In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> into a new graph <span class="math"><em>μ</em>(<em>G</em>)</span>, we now call the Mycielskian of <span class="math"><em>G</em></span>, which has the same clique number as <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> and whose chromatic number equals <span class="math"><em>χ</em>(<em>G</em>) + 1</span>. In this paper, we find the star chromatic number for the Mycielskian graph of complete graphs, paths, cycles and complete bipartite graphs.</p>

A graph G, every vertex of which has degree at least three, is randomly 3-axial if for each vertex v of G, any ordered collection of three paths in G of length one with initial vertex v can be cyclically randomly extended to produce three internally disjoint paths which contain all the vertices of G. Randomly 3-axial graphs of order p > 4 are characterized for p ≢ 1 (mod 3), and are shown to be either complete graphs or certain regular complete bipartite graphs.

On the great success of bond-additive topological indices like Szeged, Padmakar-Ivan, Zagreb, and irregularity measures, yet another index, the Mostar index, has been introduced recently as a peripherality measure in molecular graphs and networks. For a connected graph G, the Mostar index is defined as $$M_{o}(G)=\displaystyle{\sum\limits_{e=gh\epsilon E(G)}}C(gh),$$ where $C(gh) \,=\,\left|n_{g}(e)-n_{h}(e)\right|$ be the contribution of edge $uv$ and $n_{g}(e)$ denotes the number of vertices of $G$ lying closer to vertex $g$ than to vertex $h$ ($n_{h}(e)$ define similarly). In this paper, we prove a general form of the results obtained by $Do\check{s}li\acute{c}$ et al.\cite{18} for compute the Mostar index to the Cartesian product of two simple connected graph. Using this result, we have derived the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete bipartite graphs, complete graphs and to some molecular graphs.

An equitable partition of a graph G is a partition of the vertex set of G such that the sizes of any two parts differ by at most one. The strong equitable vertexk-arboricity of G, denoted by vak≡(G), is the smallest integer t such that G can be equitably partitioned into t′ induced forests for every t′≥t, where the maximum degree of each induced forest is at most k. In this paper, we provide a general upper bound for va2≡(Kn,n). Exact values are obtained in some special cases.

A strict strong coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is a proper coloring of [Formula: see text] in which every vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The minimum number of colors required for a strict strong coloring of [Formula: see text] is called the strict strong chromatic number of [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize the results on strict strong coloring of Mycielskian graphs and iterated Mycielskian graphs.
