Some Results on incidence coloring, star arboricity and domination number
Two inequalities bridging the three isolated graph invariants, incidence
chromatic number, star arboricity and domination number, were established.
Consequently, we deduced an upper bound and a lower bound of the incidence
chromatic number for all graphs. Using these bounds, we further reduced the
upper bound of the incidence chromatic number of planar graphs and showed that
cubic graphs with orders not divisible by four are not 4-incidence colorable.
The incidence chromatic numbers of Cartesian product, join and union of graphs
were also determined.Comment: 8 page
Some colouring problems for Paley graphs
The Paley graph Pq, where q≡1(mod4) is a prime power, is the graph with vertices the elements of the finite field Fq and an edge between x and y if and only if x-y is a non-zero square in Fq. This paper gives new results on some colouring problems for Paley graphs and related discussion. © 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
