Eight asymmetric graphs, each given a distinguishing coloring with only one color (red) A graph has distinguishing number one if and only if it is asymmetric. [3] For instance, the Frucht graph has a distinguishing coloring with only one color. In a complete graph, the only distinguishing colorings assign a different color to each vertex. For ...
Another issue has been the tendency to describe color effects holistically or categorically, for example as a contrast between "yellow" and "blue" conceived as generic colors instead of the three color attributes generally considered by color science: hue, colorfulness and lightness. These confusions are partly historical and arose in ...
A proper vertex coloring of the Petersen graph with 3 colors, the minimum number possible. In graph theory, graph coloring is a methodic assignment of labels traditionally called "colors" to elements of a graph. The assignment is subject to certain constraints, such as that no two adjacent elements have the same color.
A directed graph is one in which the edges have a distinguished direction, from one vertex to another. [2] In a mixed graph, a directed edge is again one that has a distinguished direction; directed edges may also be called arcs or arrows. directed arc See arrow. directed edge See arrow. directed line See arrow. directed path
However, the resulting coloring has one vertex in one color class and five in another, and is therefore not equitable. The smallest number of colors in an equitable coloring of this graph is four: the central vertex must be the only vertex in its color class, so the other five vertices must be split among at least three color classes in order ...
In the study of graph coloring problems in mathematics and computer science, a greedy coloring or sequential coloring [1] is a coloring of the vertices of a graph formed by a greedy algorithm that considers the vertices of the graph in sequence and assigns each vertex its first available color. Greedy colorings can be found in linear time, but ...
Subcoloring is as difficult to solve exactly as coloring, in the sense that (like coloring) it is NP-complete. More specifically, the problem of determining whether a planar graph has subchromatic number at most 2 is NP-complete, even if it is a triangle-free graph with maximum degree 4 (Gimbel & Hartman 2003) (Fiala et al. 2003),
Given a graph G and given a set L(v) of colors for each vertex v (called a list), a list coloring is a choice function that maps every vertex v to a color in the list L(v).As with graph coloring, a list coloring is generally assumed to be proper, meaning no two adjacent vertices receive the same color.
