Let G = V G , E G be a connected graph and c : V G ⟶ 1,2 , … , k be a proper k -coloring of G . Let Π be a partition of vertices of G induced by the coloring c . We define the color code c Π v of a vertex v ∈ V G as an ordered k -tuple that contains the distance between each partition to the vertex v . If distinct vertices have distinct color code, then c is called a locating k -coloring of G . The locating chromatic number of G is the smallest k such that G has a locating k -coloring. In this paper, we determine the locating chromatic number of book graph.

Let G and H be two connected graphs. Let c be a vertex k-coloring of aconnected graph G and let = fCg be a partition of V (G) into the resultingcolor classes. For each v 2 V (G), the color code of v is dened to be k-vector: c1; C2; :::; Ck(v) =(d(v; C1); d(v; C2); :::; d(v; Ck)), where d(v; Ci) = minfd(v; x) j x 2 Cg, 1 i k. Ifdistinct vertices have distinct color codes with respect to , then c is called a locatingcoloring of G. The locating chromatic number of G is the smallest natural number ksuch that there are locating coloring with k colors in G. The Cartesian product of graphG and H is a graph with vertex set V (G) V (H), where two vertices (a; b) and (a)are adjacent whenever a = a0and bb02 E(H), or aa0i2 E(G) and b = b, denotedby GH. In this paper, we will study about the locating chromatic numbers of thecartesian product of two paths, the cartesian product of paths and complete graphs, andthe cartesian product of two complete graphs.

Let c be a proper k-coloring of a graph G. Let π = { R 1 , R 2 , … , R k } be the partition of V ( G ) induced by c, where R i is the partition class receiving color i. The color code c π ( v ) of a vertex v of G is the ordered k-tuple ( d ( v , R 1 ) , d ( v , R 2 ) , … , d ( v , R k ) ) , where d ( v , R i ) is the minimum distance from v to each other vertex u ∈ R i for 1 ≤ i ≤ k . If all vertices of G have distinct color codes, then c is called a locating k-coloring of G. The locating-chromatic number of G, denoted by χ L ( G ) , is the smallest k such that G admits a locating coloring with k colors. In this paper, we give a characterization of the locating chromatic number of powers of paths. In addition, we find sharp upper and lower bounds for the locating chromatic number of powers of cycles.

Let G = (V; E) be a connected graph and c a coloring of G. For i = 1; 2; :::; k,we dene the color classes Cias the set of vertices receiving color i. The color code c(v)of a vertex v 2 V (G) is the k-vector (d(v; C1); d(v; C2); :::; d(v; Ck)), where d(v; C) isthe distance between v and C. If all vertices of G have distinct color codes, then c iscalled a locating-coloring of G. The locating-coloring number of graph G, denoted byLi(G), is the smallest positive integer k such that G has a locating coloring with k color.Let K1;nibe star, where niis the number of leaves of each star K. We dene thevertex amalgamation of star, denoted by Sk;(n1;:::;nk)1;n, as a graph obtained from starsKby identifying one arbitrary leaf from each star. We dene the edge amalgamationof star, denoted by S1;nik;(n, as a graph obtained by uniting an edge of each star.If ni1;:::;nk)= m for each i, then we denoted the vertex amalgamation of star as Sandthe edge amalgamation of star as Sk;m. In this paper we discuss the locating coloring ofSk;(n1;:::;nk)and Sk;(n1;:::;nk).

Let G = (V,E) be a connected graph. Let c be a proper coloring using k colors, namely 1, 2,·s, k. Let <span style="font-family: symbol;">P</span>={S<sub>1</sub>, S<sub>2</sub>,..., S<sub>k</sub>} be a partition of V(G) induced by c and let S<sub>i</sub> be the color class that receives the color i. The color code, c<sub><span style="font-family: symbol;">P</span></sub>(v)=(d(v,S<sub>1</sub>), d(v,S<sub>2</sub>),...,d(v,S<sub>k</sub>)), where d(v,S<sub>i</sub>)=min {d(v,x)|x <span style="font-family: symbol;">Î</span> S<sub>i</sub>} for i <span style="font-family: symbol;">Î</span> [1,k]. If all vertices in V(G) have different color codes, then c is called as the \emphlocating-chromatic k-coloring of G. Minimum k such that G has the locating-chromatic k-coloring is called the locating-chromatic number, denoted by <span style="font-family: symbol;">c</span><sub>L</sub>(G). In this paper, we discuss the locating-chromatic number for n certain amalgamation of stars linking a path, denoted by nS<sub>k,m</sub>, for n ≥ 1, m ≥ 2, k ≥ 3, and k&gt;m.

We prove that every connected graph of order n ≥ 2 has an induced subgraph with all degrees odd of order at least cn/log n, where cis a constant. We also give a bound in terms of chromatic number, and resolve the analogous problem for random graphs.

In this paper, a new kind of graph on a commutative ring R with identity, namely the co-maximal ideal graph is defined and studied. We use [Formula: see text] to denote this graph, with its vertices the proper ideals of R which are not contained in the Jacobson radical of R, and two vertices I1 and I2 are adjacent if and only if I1 + I2 = R. We show some properties of this graph. For example, this graph is a simple, connected graph with diameter less than or equal to three, and both the clique number and the chromatic number of the graph are equal to the number of maximal ideals of the ring R.

Let H be a graph with the chromatic number h and the chromatic surplus s. A connected graph G of order n is called H-good if R(G, H) = (n - 1)(h - 1) + s. In this paper, we show that Pn is 2Km-good for n ≥ 3. Furthermore, we obtain the Ramsey number R(L, 2Km), where L is a linear forest. Moreover, we also give the Ramsey number R(L, Hm) which is an extension for R(kPn, Hm) proposed by Ali et al. [1], where Hm is a cocktail party graph on 2m vertices.

The equitable chromatic number χe(G) of a graph G is the smallest integer k for which G has a proper k-coloring such that the number of vertices in any two color classes differ by at most one. In 1973, Meyer conjectured that the equitable chromatic number of a connected graph G, which is neither a complete graph nor an odd cycle, is at most Δ(G). We prove that this conjecture holds for 2-degenerate graphs with Δ(G) ≥ 5 and plane graphs without 3, 4 and 5 cycles.
