An exact 2-distance coloring of a graph 𝐺 is a coloring of vertices of 𝐺 such that any two vertices which are at distance exactly 2 receive distinct colors. An exact 2-distance chromatic number𝑒2(𝐺) of 𝐺 is the minimum 𝑘 for which 𝐺 admits an exact 2-distance coloring with 𝑘 colors. A 𝑏-coloring of 𝐺 by 𝑘 colors is a proper 𝑘-vertex coloring such that in each color class, there exists a vertex called a color dominating vertex which has a neighbor in every other color class. A vertex that has a 2-neighbor in all other color classes is called an exact 2-distance color dominating vertex (or an 𝑒2-cdv). Exact 2-distance 𝑏-coloring (or an 𝑒2𝑏-coloring) of 𝐺 is an exact 2-distance coloring such that each color class contains an 𝑒2- cdv. An exact 2-distance 𝑏-chromatic number (or an 𝑒2𝑏-number) 𝑒2𝑏(𝐺) of 𝐺 is the largest integer 𝑘 such that 𝐺 has an 𝑒2𝑏-coloring with 𝑘colors. If for each integer𝑘, 𝑒2(𝐺) ≤ 𝑘 ≤ 𝑒2𝑏(𝐺), 𝐺 has an 𝑒2𝑏-coloring by 𝑘 colors, then 𝐺 is said to be an exact 2-distance 𝑏- continuous graph. In this paper, the 𝑒2𝑏-number𝑒2𝑏(𝐻𝑛)of the helm graph 𝐻𝑛is obtained and 𝑒2𝑏-continuity of 𝐻𝑛is discussed.

A b-coloring is a proper vertex coloring of a graph such that each color class contains a vertex that has a neighbor in all other color classes and the b-chromatic number is the largest integer φ(G) for which a graph has a b-coloring with φ(G) colors. We determine some upper and lower bounds for the b-chromatic number of the strong product G ⊠ H, the lexicographic product G[H] and the direct product G × H and give some exact values for products of paths, cycles, stars, and complete bipartite graphs. We also show that the b-chromatic number of Pn ⊠ H, Cn ⊠ H, Pn[H], Cn[H], and Km,n[H] can be determined for an arbitrary graph H, when integers m and n are large enough.

A 2-distance 𝑏-coloring is a 2-distance coloring in which every color class contains a vertex which has a neighbor in every other color class. A 2-distance strong 𝑏-coloring (2𝑠𝑏- coloring) is a 2-distance coloring in which every color class contains a vertex 𝑢 such that there is a vertex 𝑣 in every other color class satisfying the condition that the distance between 𝑢 and 𝑣 is at most 2. The 2-distance 𝑏-chromatic number 𝜒2𝑏(𝐺) (2𝑏-number) is the largest integer 𝑘 such that 𝐺 admits a 2-distance 𝑏-coloring with 𝑘 colors and the 2-distance strong bchromatic number 𝜒2𝑠𝑏(𝐺) (2𝑠𝑏-number) is the maximum k such that 𝐺 admits a 2𝑠𝑏-coloring with 𝑘 colors. A tree with a special vertex called the root is called a rooted tree. A perfect 𝛥- ary tree, is a rooted tree in which all internal vertices are of degree 𝛥 and all pendant vertices are at the same level. In this paper, the exact bound of the 2𝑠𝑏-number of perfect 𝛥-ary tree are obtained.

Graph Theory International audience A b-coloring of a graph G by k colors is a proper vertex coloring such that each color class contains a color-dominating vertex, that is, a vertex having neighbors in all other k-1 color classes. The b-chromatic number χb(G) is the maximum integer k for which G has a b-coloring by k colors. Let Cnr be the rth power of a cycle of order n. In 2003, Effantin and Kheddouci established the b-chromatic number χb(Cnr) for all values of n and r, except for 2r+3≤n≤3r. For the missing cases they presented the lower bound L:= min n-r-1,r+1+⌊ n-r-1 / 3⌋ and conjectured that χb(Cnr)=L. In this paper, we determine the exact value on χb(Cnr) for the missing cases. It turns out that χb(Cnr)>L for 2r+3≤n≤2r+3+r-6 / 4.

Vertex Coloring Problem

The Recursive Largest First (RLF) algorithm is one of the most popular greedy heuristics for the vertex coloring problem. It sequentially builds color classes on the basis of greedy choices. In particular, the first vertex placed in a color class C is one with a maximum number of uncolored neighbors, and the next vertices placed in C are chosen so that they have as many uncolored neighbors which cannot be placed in C. These greedy choices can have a significant impact on the performance of the algorithm, which explains why we propose alternative selection rules. Computational experiments on 63 difficult DIMACS instances show that the resulting new RLF-like algorithm, when compared with the standard RLF, allows to obtain a reduction of more than 50% of the gap between the number of colors used and the best known upper bound on the chromatic number. The new greedy algorithm even competes with basic metaheuristics for the vertex coloring problem.

In this paper, we introduce and study a new coloring problem of graphs called the double total dominator coloring. A double total dominator coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] with minimum degree at least 2 is a proper vertex coloring of [Formula: see text] such that each vertex has to dominate at least two color classes. The minimum number of colors among all double total dominator coloring of [Formula: see text] is called the double total dominator chromatic number, denoted by [Formula: see text]. Therefore, we establish the close relationship between the double total dominator chromatic number [Formula: see text] and the double total domination number [Formula: see text]. We prove the NP-completeness of the problem. We also examine the effects on [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is modified by some operations. Finally, we discuss the [Formula: see text] number of square of trees by giving some bounds.

The distinguishing number $\Delta(X)$ of a graph $X$ is the least positive integer $n$ for which there exists a function $f:V(X)\to\{0,1,2,\cdots,n-1\}$ such that no nonidentity element of $\hbox{Aut}(X)$ fixes (setwise) every inverse image $f^{-1}(k)$, $k\in\{0,1,2,\cdots,n-1\}$. All infinite, locally finite trees without pendant vertices are shown to be 2-distinguishable. A proof is indicated that extends 2-distinguishability to locally countable trees without pendant vertices. It is shown that every infinite, locally finite tree $T$ with finite distinguishing number contains a finite subtree $J$ such that $\Delta(J)=\Delta(T)$. Analogous results are obtained for the distinguishing chromatic number, namely the least positive integer $n$ such that the function $f$ is also a proper vertex-coloring.

A strict strong coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is a proper coloring of [Formula: see text] in which every vertex of the graph is adjacent to every vertex of some color class. The minimum number of colors required for a strict strong coloring of [Formula: see text] is called the strict strong chromatic number of [Formula: see text] and is denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we characterize the results on strict strong coloring of Mycielskian graphs and iterated Mycielskian graphs.

Luyten [1,2] and Giclas et al. [3,4] list over 500 known common proper motion binaries (CPMBs) which, on the basis of proper motion and estimated colors, are expected to contain at least one white dwarf (WD) component, usually paired with a late type main sequence (MS) star. Preliminary assessments of the CPMBs suggest that nearly all are physical pairs [5,6]. In this paper we address the issue of whether significant orbital expansion has occurred as a consequence of the post-MS mass loss expected to accompany the formation of the WDs in CPMBs.Though the CPMB sample remains largely unobserved, a spectroscopic survey of over three dozen CPMBs by Oswalt [5] found that nearly all faint components of Luyten and Giclas color class “a-f” and “+1”, respectively, or bluer were a WD. This tendency was also evident in a smaller sample studied by Greenstein [7]. Conversely, nearly all CPMBs having two components of color class “g-k” and “+3” or redder were MS+MS pairs. With the caveat that such criteria discriminate against CPMBs containing cool (but rare) WDs, they nonetheless provide a crude means of obtaining statistically significant samples for the comparison of orbital separations: 209 highly probable WD+MS pairs and 109 MS+MS pairs.

We introduce and study the dominated edge coloring of a graph. A dominated edge coloring of a graph \(G\), is a proper edge coloring of \(G\) such that each color class is dominated by at least one edge of \(G\). The minimum number of colors among all dominated edge coloring is called the dominated edge chromatic number, denoted by \(\chi_{dom}^{\prime}(G)\). We obtain some properties of \(\chi_{dom}^{\prime}(G)\) and compute it for specific graphs. Also examine the effects on \(\chi_{dom}^{\prime}(G)\), when \(G\) is modified by operations on vertex and edge of \(G\). Finally, we consider the \(k\)-subdivision of \(G\) and study the dominated edge chromatic number of these kind of graphs.
