Abstract  A proper k-edge coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors 1,2,…,k to edges of G such that any two adjacent edges receive the different colors. For a proper edge coloring f of G and any vertex x of G, we use Sf(x) or S(x) to denote the set of the colors assigned to the edges incident with x. If for any two adjacent vertices u and v of G, we have S(u)≠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 χ'a(G). A proper k-total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors 1,2,…,k to vertices and edges of G such that any two adjacent or incident elements receive the different colors. For a proper total coloring g of G and any vertex x of G, we use Cg(x) or C(x) to denote the set of the colors assigned to the vertex x and edges incident with x. If for any two adjacent vertices u and v of G, we have C(u)≠C(v), then g is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing total coloring of G (or AVDTC of G in brief). The minimum number of colors required in an AVDTC of G is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing total chromatic number of G, denoted by χa(G). In this paper, we discuss the relation between Cartesian product and two types of adjacent vertex distinguishing coloring.

Cartesian积与邻点可区别着色之间的关系

G的一个正常k-边着色是指k种颜色1,2,…,k对图G各边的一个分配,使得任意2条相邻边染以不同的颜色.对于图G的一个正常边染色fG中任何一个顶点xSfx)或Sx)表示与顶点x关联的边在f下的颜色所构成的集合.若对于图G中任意2个相邻顶点uv,有Su)≠Sv),则称f为图G的邻点可区别正常边染色.对图G进行邻点可区别正常边染色所需的最少颜色数,称为G的邻点可区别正常边色数,记为χ'aG).图G的一个正常k-全染色是指k种颜色对图G的顶点和边的一个分配,使得任意2个相邻的或相关联元素染以不同的颜色.对于图G的一个正常全染色gG中任何一个顶点 x,使用Cgx)或Cx)来表示顶点x的颜色(在g下)以及与顶点x关联的边在g下的颜色所构成的集合.若对于G中任意2个相邻顶点uv,有Cu)≠Cv),则称g为图G的邻点可区别全染色.图G的邻点可区别全染色所需的最少颜色数称为图G的邻点可区别正常全色数,记为χaG).主要讨论了Cartesian积和2种邻点可区别染色之间的关系.
