Abstract In this paper, we determine the r-dynamic chromatic number of the fan graph Fm,n and determine sharp bounds of this graph invariant for four related families of graphs: The middle graph M(Fm,n ), the total graph T (Fm,n ), the central graph C(Fm,n ) and the line graph L(Fm,n ). In addition, we determine the r-dynamic chromatic number of each one of these four families of graphs in case of being m = 1.

Dynamic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring. The chromatic number of a graph G is the minimum k such that G has a dynamic coloring with k colors. In this paper we investigate the dynamic chromatic number for the Central graph, Middle graph, Total graph and Line graph of Web graph Wn denoted by C(Wn), M(Wn), T(Wn) and L(Wn) respectively.

An r-dynamic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of G such that every vertex in V(G) has neighbors in at least $\min\{d(v),r\}$ different color classes. The r-dynamic chromatic number of graph G denoted as $\chi_r (G)$, is the least k such that G has a coloring. In this paper we obtain the r-dynamic chromatic number of the central graph, middle graph, total graph, line graph, para-line graph and sub-division graph of the comb graph $P_n\odot K_1$ denoted by $C(P_n\odot K_1), M(P_n\odot K_1), T(P_n\odot K_1), L(P_n\odot K_1), P(P_n\odot K_1)$ and $S(P_n\odot K_1)$ respectively by finding the upper bound and lower bound for the r-dynamic chromatic number of the Comb graph.

Two well-known numbers associated with a graph G (finite and undirected with no loops or multiple lines) are the (point) chromatic and the line chromatic number of G (see (2)). With G there is associated a graph L(G), called the line-graph of G, such that the line chromatic number of G is the same as the chromatic number of L(G). This concept was originated by Whitney (9) in 1932. In 1963, Sedlâček (8) characterized graphs with planar line-graphs. In this note we introduce the notions of the total chromatic number and the total graph of a graph, and characterize graphs with planar total graphs.

In this present paper, we have proved for the line graph of double star graph, the harmonious chromatic number and the achromatic number are equal. As a motivation this work can be extended by classifying the different families of graphs for which these two numbers are equal.

We prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph, then the chromatic number $\chi(G)$ of $G$ is at most $\max\left\{\omega(G), \frac{7\Delta(G) + 10}{8}\right\}$ where $\omega(G)$ and $\Delta(G)$ are the clique number and the maximum degree of $G$, respectively. Thus Brooks' Theorem holds for line graphs of multigraphs in much stronger form. Using similar methods we then prove that if $G$ is the line graph of a multigraph with $\chi(G) \geq \Delta(G) \geq 9$, then $G$ contains a clique on $\Delta(G)$ vertices. Thus the Borodin-Kostochka Conjecture holds for line graphs of multigraphs.

A derived graph is a graph obtained from a given graph according to some predetermined rules. Two of the most frequently used derived graphs are the line graph and the total graph. Calculating some properties of a derived graph helps to calculate the same properties of the original graph. For this reason, the relations between a graph and its derived graphs are always welcomed. A recently introduced graph index which also acts as a graph invariant called omega is used to obtain such relations for line and total graphs. As an illustrative exercise, omega values and the number of faces of the line and total graphs of some frequently used graph classes are calculated.
