Let [Formula: see text] be a simple, finite, undirected, and connected graph with vertex set [Formula: see text] and edge set [Formula: see text]. A bijection [Formula: see text] is label function [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] and for any two adjacent vertices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is set ofvertices adjacent to [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] is called local irregularity vertex coloring. The minimum cardinality of local irregularity vertex coloring of [Formula: see text] is called chromatic number local irregular denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we verify the exact values of volcano, broom, parachute, double broom and complete multipartite graphs.

This paper considers the cycle covering of complete multipartite graphs motivated by the design of survivable WDM networks, where the requests are routed on sub-networks which are protected independently from each other. The problem can be stated as follows: for a given graph G, find a cycle covering of the edge set of K (n) t ? , where V( Kt (n))=V(G), such that each cycle in the covering satisfies the disjoint routing constraint (DRC). Here we consider the case where G=Ctn, a ring of size tn and we want to minimize the number of cycles ? (nt, ?) in the covering. For the problem, we give the lower bound of ? (nt, ?), and obtain the optimal solutions when n is even or n is odd and both ? and t are even.
