Mixed Hypergraph

A mixed hypergraph is characterized by the fact that it possesses ${\cal C}$-edges as well as ${\cal D}$-edges. In a colouring of a mixed hypergraph, every ${\cal C}$-edge has at least two vertices of the same colour and every ${\cal D}$-edge has at least two vertices coloured differently. The upper and lower chromatic numbers $\bar{\chi}$, $\chi$ are the maximum and minimum numbers of colours for which there exists a colouring using all the colours. The concepts of mixed hypergraph, upper and lower chromatic numbers are applied to $SQSs$. In fact a BSQS is an SQS where all the blocks are at the same time ${\cal C}$-edges and ${\cal D}$-edges. In this paper we prove that any $BSQS(16)$ is colourable with the upper chromatic number $\bar{\chi}=3$ and we give new information about the chromatic spectrum of BSQSs($16$).

Mixed Hypergraph

For any set $S$ of positive integers, a mixed hypergraph ${\cal H}$ is a realization of $S$ if its feasible set is $S$, furthermore, ${\cal H}$ is a one-realization of $S$ if it is a realization of $S$ and each entry of its chromatic spectrum is either 0 or 1. Jiang et al. showed that the minimum number of vertices of a realization of $\{s,t\}$ with $2\leq s\leq t-2$ is $2t-s$. Král proved that there exists a one-realization of $S$ with at most $|S|+2\max{S}-\min{S}$ vertices. In this paper, we  determine the number  of vertices of the smallest one-realization of a given set. As a result, we partially solve an open problem proposed by Jiang et al. in 2002 and by Král  in 2004.

Chromatic Numbers

The Babai numbers and the upper chromatic number are parameters that can be assigned to any metric space. They can, therefore, be assigned to any connected simple graph. In this paper we make progress in the theory of the first Babai number and the upper chromatic number in the simple graph setting, with emphasis on graphs of diameter 2.

A proper $k$-edge coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of $k$ colors, $1,2,\cdots,k$, to edges of $G$. For a proper edge coloring $f$ of $G$ and any vertex $x$ of $G$, we use $S(x)$ denote the set of thecolors assigned to the edges incident to $x$. If for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$, we have $S(u)\neq S(v)$,then $f$ is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing proper edge coloring of $G$ (or AVDPEC of $G$ in brief). The minimum number of colors required in an AVDPEC of $G$ is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing proper edge chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\chi^{'}_{\mathrm{a}}(G)$. In this paper, adjacent vertex distinguishing proper edge chromatic numbers of several classes of complete 5-partite graphs are obtained.

Vertex Colouring

Evidence is given to suggest that minimally vertex colouring an interval graph may not be in NC 1. This is done by showing that 3-colouring a linked list is NC 1-reducible to minimally colouring an interval graph. However, it is shown that an interval graph with a known interval representation and an O(1) chromatic number can be minimally coloured in NC 1. For the CRCW PRAM model, an o( log n) time, polynomial processors algorithm is obtained for minimally colouring an interval graph with o( log n) chromatic number and a known interval representation. In particular, when the chromatic number is O(( log n)1-ε), 0<ε<1, the algorithm runs in O( log n/ log log n) time. Also, an O( log n) time, O(n) cost, EREW PRAM algorithm is found for interval graphs of arbitrary chromatic numbers. The following lower bound result is also obtained: even when the left and right endpoints of the interval are separately sorted, minimally colouring an interval graph needs Ω( log n/ log log n) time, on a CRCW PRAM, with a polynomial number of processors.

Distinct Color

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.

We extend the colourful complete bipartite subgraph theorems of [G. Simonyi, G. Tardos, Local chromatic number, Ky Fan's theorem,  and circular colorings, Combinatorica 26 (2006), 587--626] and [G. Simonyi, G. Tardos, Colorful subgraphs of Kneser-like graphs, European J. Combin. 28 (2007), 2188--2200] to more general topological settings. We give examples showing that the hypotheses are indeed more general. We use our results to show that the topological bounds on chromatic numbers of digraphs with tree duality are at most one better than the clique number. We investigate combinatorial and complexity-theoretic aspects of relevant order-theoretic maps.

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 maximal integer k such that G has a b-coloring with k colors. In this paper, the b-chromatic numbers of the coronas of cycles, star graphs and wheel graphs with different numbers of vertices, respectively, are obtained. Also the bounds for the b-chromatic number of corona of any two graphs is discussed.

We investigate Schrödinger operators with δ- and δ′-interactions supported on hypersurfaces, which separate the Euclidean space into finitely many bounded and unbounded Lipschitz domains. It turns out that the combinatorial properties of the partition and the spectral properties of the corresponding operators are related. As the main result, we prove an operator inequality for the Schrödinger operators with δ- and δ′-interactions which is based on an optimal coloring and involves the chromatic number of the partition. This inequality implies various relations for the spectra of the Schrödinger operators and, in particular, it allows to transform known results for Schrödinger operators with δ-interactions to Schrödinger operators with δ′-interactions.

Definition Of

The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted χ(G) is the minimum number of colors needed to color vertices of G so that no two adjacent vertices share the same color. A functigraph over a given graph is obtained as follows: Let G' be a disjoint copy of a given G and f be a function f : V(G) → V(G'). The functigraph over G, denoted by C(G, f), is the graph with V(C(G, f)) = V(G) ∪ V(G') and E(C(G, f)) = E(G) ∪ E(G') ∪ {uv : u ∈ V(G), v ∈ V(G'), v = f(u)}. Recently, Chen et al. proved that [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we first provide sufficient conditions on functions f to reach the lower bound for any graph. We then study the attainability of the chromatic numbers of functigraphs. Finally, we extend the definition of a functigraph in different ways and then investigate the bounds of chromatic numbers of such graphs.
