Topological Additive Numbering of Directed Acyclic Graphs
We propose to study a problem that arises naturally from both Topological
Numbering of Directed Acyclic Graphs, and Additive Coloring (also known as
Lucky Labeling). Let be a digraph and a labeling of its vertices with
positive integers; denote by the sum of labels over all neighbors of
each vertex . The labeling is called \emph{topological additive
numbering} if for each arc of the digraph. The problem
asks to find the minimum number for which has a topological additive
numbering with labels belonging to , denoted by
.
We characterize when a digraph has topological additive numberings, give a
lower bound for , and provide an integer programming formulation for
our problem, characterizing when its coefficient matrix is totally unimodular.
We also present some families for which can be computed in
polynomial time. Finally, we prove that this problem is \np-Hard even when its
input is restricted to planar bipartite digraphs
The inapproximability for the (0,1)-additive number
An
{\it additive labeling} of a graph is a function , such that for every two adjacent vertices and of , ( means that is joined to ). The {\it additive number} of ,
denoted by , is the minimum number such that has a additive
labeling . The {\it additive
choosability} of a graph , denoted by , is the smallest
number such that has an additive labeling for any assignment of lists
of size to the vertices of , such that the label of each vertex belongs
to its own list.
Seamone (2012) \cite{a80} conjectured that for every graph , . We give a negative answer to this conjecture and we show that
for every there is a graph such that .
A {\it -additive labeling} of a graph is a function , such that for every two adjacent vertices and
of , .
A graph may lack any -additive labeling. We show that it is -complete to decide whether a -additive labeling exists for
some families of graphs such as perfect graphs and planar triangle-free graphs.
For a graph with some -additive labelings, the -additive
number of is defined as where is the set of -additive labelings of .
We prove that given a planar graph that admits a -additive labeling, for
all , approximating the -additive number within is -hard.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer

The sigma chromatic number of the Sierpinski gasket graphs and the Hanoi graphs
A vertex coloring c : V(G) → of a non-trivial connected graph G is called a sigma coloring if σ(u) ≠ σ(v) for any pair of adjacent vertices u and v. Here, σ(x) denotes the sum of the colors assigned to vertices adjacent to x. The sigma chromatic number of G, denoted by σ(G), is defined as the fewest number of colors needed to construct a sigma coloring of G. In this paper, we determine the sigma chromatic numbers of the Sierpiński gasket graphs and the Hanoi graphs. Moreover, we prove the uniqueness of the sigma coloring for Sierpiński gasket graphs
Sigma Coloring and Edge Deletions
A vertex coloring c : V(G) → N of a non-trivial graph G is called a sigma coloring if σ(u) is not equal to σ(v) for any pair of adjacent vertices u and v. Here, σ(x) denotes the sum of the colors assigned to vertices adjacent to x. The sigma chromatic number of G, denoted by σ(G), is defined as the fewest number of colors needed to construct a sigma coloring of G. In this paper, we consider the sigma chromatic number of graphs obtained by deleting one or more of its edges. In particular, we study the difference σ(G)−σ(G−e) in general as well as in restricted scenarios; here, G−e is the graph obtained by deleting an edge e from G. Furthermore, we study the sigma chromatic number of graphs obtained via multiple edge deletions in complete graphs by considering the complements of paths and cycles
A new approach on locally checkable problems
By providing a new framework, we extend previous results on locally checkable
problems in bounded treewidth graphs. As a consequence, we show how to solve,
in polynomial time for bounded treewidth graphs, double Roman domination and
Grundy domination, among other problems for which no such algorithm was
previously known. Moreover, by proving that fixed powers of bounded degree and
bounded treewidth graphs are also bounded degree and bounded treewidth graphs,
we can enlarge the family of problems that can be solved in polynomial time for
these graph classes, including distance coloring problems and distance
domination problems (for bounded distances)
