A [Formula: see text]-distance vertex-distinguishing total coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is a proper total coloring of [Formula: see text] such that any pair of vertices at distance [Formula: see text] have distinct sets of colors. The [Formula: see text]-distance vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the minimum number of colors needed for a [Formula: see text]-distance vertex-distinguishing total coloring of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the [Formula: see text]-distance vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number of some graphs such as paths, cycles, wheels, trees, unicycle graphs, [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. We conjecture that every simple graph [Formula: see text] with maximum degree [Formula: see text] satisfies [Formula: see text].

Total Coloring Conjecture

A total coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is an assignment of colors to the elements of the graph [Formula: see text] such that no adjacent vertices and edges receive the same color. The total chromatic number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum number of colors that suffice in a total coloring. Behzad and Vizing conjectured that for any simple graph [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the maximum degree of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove the tight bound of the total coloring conjecture for the three types of corona products (vertex, edge and neighborhood) of graphs.

Total Coloring Conjecture

A total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the elements of the graph G such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ ′ ′ ( G ) , is the minimum number of colors that suffice in a total coloring. Behzad and Vizing conjectured that for any graph G, Δ ( G ) + 1 ≤ χ ′ ′ ( G ) ≤ Δ ( G ) + 2 , where Δ ( G ) is the maximum degree of G. In this paper, we prove the total coloring conjecture for certain classes of graphs of deleted lexicographic product, line graph and double graph.

Total Coloring Conjecture

The total chromatic number [Formula: see text] is the least number of colors needed to color the vertices and edges of a graph [Formula: see text] such that no incident or adjacent elements (vertices or edges) receive the same color. Behzad and Vizing proposed a well-known total coloring conjecture (TCC): [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the maximum degree of [Formula: see text]. For the powers of cycles, Campos and de Mello proposed the following conjecture: Let [Formula: see text] denote the graphs of powers of cycles of order [Formula: see text] and length [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text]. Then, [Formula: see text] In this paper, we prove the Campos and de Mello’s conjecture for some classes of powers of cycles. Also, we prove the TCC for complement of powers of cycles.

Total Coloring Conjecture

A total coloring of a simple graph G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing if for any two adjacent and distinct vertices u and v in G, the set of colors assigned to the vertices and the edges incident to u differs from the set of colors assigned to the vertices and the edges incident to v. In this paper we shall prove the series-parallel graph with maximum degree 3 and the series-parallel graph whose the number of edges is the double of maximum degree minus 1 satisfy the adjacent vertex distinguishing total coloring conjecture.

A proper total coloring of a simple graph G is called vertex distinguishing if for any two distinct vertices u and v in G, the set of colors assigned to the elements incident to u differs from the set of colors incident to v. The minimal number of colors required for a vertex distinguishing total coloring of G is called the vertex distinguishing total coloring chromatic number. In a paper, we give a “triangle compositor”, by the compositor, we proved that when n=0(mod 8) and , vertex distinguishing total chromatic number of “ladder graphs” is n.

AbstractWe prove Theorem 1: suppose G is a simple graph of order n having Δ(G) = n − k where k ≥ 5 and n ≥ max (13, 3k −3). If G contains an independent set of k − 3 vertices, then the TCC (Total Colouring Conjecture) is true. Applying Theorem 1, we also prove that the TCC is true for any simple graph G of order n having Δ(G) = n −5. The latter result together with some earlier results confirm that the TCC is true for all simple graphs whose maximum degree is at most four and for all simple graphs of order n having maximum degree at least n − 5.

The total chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\chi′′(G)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices and edges of $G$ such that no two adjacent or incident elements get the same color. It is known that if a planar graph $G$ has maximum degree $\Delta ≥ 9$, then $\chi′′(G) = \Delta + 1$. The join $K_1 \vee P_n$ of $K_1$ and $P_n$ is called a fan graph $F_n$. In this paper, we prove that if $G$ is a $F_5$-free planar graph with maximum degree 8, then $\chi′′(G) = 9$.

In this paper, the adjacent vertex –distinguishing E-total chromatic number of the multiple join graph of several kinds of particular graphs is discussed by using construct coloring function.
