Power line communication (PLC) is one of the major communication technologies in smart grid since it combines good communication capability with easy and simple deployment. As a power network can be modeled as a graph, we propose a vertex coloring based slot reuse scheduling in the time division multiple access (TDMA) period for PLCs. Our objective is to minimize the number of assigned time slots, while satisfying the quality of service (QoS) requirement of each station. Since the scheduling problem is NP-hard, we propose an efficient heuristic scheduling, which consists of repeated vertex coloring and slot reuse improvement algorithms. The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the total number of time slots.

Let G = (V ; E) be a simple undirected graph without loops and multiple edges, the vertex and edge sets of it are represented by V = V (G) and E = E(G), respectively. A weighting w of the edges of a graph G induces a coloring of the vertices of G where the color of vertex v, denoted $S_v:={\Sigma}_{e{\ni}v}\;w(e)$. A k-edge-weighting of a graph G is an assignment of an integer weight, w(e) ${\in}${1,2,...,k} to each edge e, such that two vertex-color $S_v$, $S_u$ be distinct for every edge uv. In this paper we determine an exact 3-edge-weighting of complete graphs $k_{3q+1}\;{\forall}_q\;{\in}\;{\mathbb{N}}$. Several open questions are also included.

In this article, we consider a proper total coloring distinguishes adjacent vertices by sums, if every two adjacent vertices have different total sum of colors of the edges incident to the vertex and the color of the vertex. Pilsniak and Wozniak [15] first introduced this coloring and made a conjecture that the minimal number of colors need to have a proper total coloring distinguishes adjacent vertices by sums is less than or equal to the maximum degree plus 3. We study proper total colorings distinguishing adjacent vertices by sums of some graphs and their products. We prove that these graphs satisfy the conjecture.

Let f be a function which assigns a positive integer f(v) to each vertex v $\in$ V (G), let r, s and t be non-negative integers. An f-coloring of G is an edge-coloring of G such that each vertex v $\in$ V (G) has at most f(v) incident edges colored with the same color. The minimum number of colors needed to f-color G is called the f-chromatic index of G and denoted by ${\chi}'_f$(G). An [r, s, t; f]-coloring of a graph G is a mapping c from V(G) $\bigcup$ E(G) to the color set C = {0, 1, $\ldots$; k - 1} such that |c($v_i$) - c($v_j$ )| $\geq$ r for every two adjacent vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$, |c($e_i$ - c($e_j$)| $\geq$ s and ${\alpha}(v_i)$ $\leq$ f($v_i$) for all $v_i$ $\in$ V (G), ${\alpha}$ $\in$ C where ${\alpha}(v_i)$ denotes the number of ${\alpha}$-edges incident with the vertex $v_i$ and $e_i$, $e_j$ are edges which are incident with $v_i$ but colored with different colors, |c($e_i$)-c($v_j$)| $\geq$ t for all pairs of incident vertices and edges. The minimum k such that G has an [r, s, t; f]-coloring with k colors is defined as the [r, s, t; f]-chromatic number and denoted by ${\chi}_{r,s,t;f}$ (G). In this paper, we present some general bounds for [r, s, t; f]-coloring firstly. After that, we obtain some important properties under the restriction min{r, s, t} = 0 or min{r, s, t} = 1. Finally, we present some problems for further research.

For a graph G = (V, E), a vertex coloring (or, simply, a coloring) of G is a function C : V (G) → {1, 2, …, k} (using the non-negative integers {1, 2, …, k} as colors). We say that a coloring of a graph G is injective if for every vertex v ∈ V (G), all the neighbors of v are assigned with distinct colors. The injective chromatic number χi(G) of a graph G is the least k such that there is an injective k-coloring [6]. In this paper, we study a natural variation of the injective coloring problem: coloring the edges of a graph under the same constraints (alternatively, to investigate the injective chromatic number of line graphs), we define the k- injective edge coloring of a graph G as a mapping C : E(G) → {1, 2, …, k}, such that for every edge e ∈ E(G), all the neighbors edges of e are assigned with distinct colors. The injective chromatic index χ′in(G) of G is the least positive integer k such that G has k- injective edge coloring, exact values of the injective chromatic index of different families of graphs are obtained, some related results and bounds are established. Finally, we define the injective clique number ωin and state a conjecture, that, for any graph G, ωin ≤ χ′in(G) ≤ ωin + 2.

For a connected graph G, an r-maximum edge-coloring is an edge-coloring f defined on E(G) such that at every vertex v with $d_G(v){\geq}r$ exactly r incident edges to v receive the maximum color. The r-maximum index $x^{\prime}_r(G)$ is the least number of required colors to have an r-maximum edge coloring of G. In this paper, we show how the r-maximum index is affected by adding an edge or a vertex. As a main result, we show that for each $r{\geq}3$ the r-maximum index function over the graphs admitting an r-maximum edge-coloring is unbounded and the range is the set of natural numbers. In other words, for each $r{\geq}3$ and $k{\geq}1$ there is a family of graphs G(r, k) with $x^{\prime}_r(G(r,k))=k$. Also, we construct a family of graphs not admitting an r-maximum edge-coloring with arbitrary maximum degrees: for any fixed $r{\geq}3$, there is an infinite family of graphs ${\mathcal{F}}_r=\{G_k:k{\geq}r+1\}$, where for each $k{\geq}r+1$ there is no r-maximum edge-coloring of $G_k$ and ${\Delta}(G_k)=k$.

본 논문은 지금까지 미해결 문제로 알려진 정점 색칠 문제에 대한 Hadwiger 추측의 반증을 제시하였다. Hadwiger 추측은 "모든 $K_k$-minor free 그래프는 k-1개의 색으로 칠할 수 있다. 즉, $K_k$-마이너를 얻으면 ${\chi}(G)=k$이다." Hadwiger 추측을 적용하여 정점 색칠을 할 경우, 먼저 NP-완전 (NP-complete)인 $K_k$-마이너를 구하여 ${\chi}(G)=k$를 결정하고, 다시 NP-완전인 정점 색칠 문제를 풀어야 한다. Hadwiger 추측을 반증하기 위해 본 논문은 정점 색칠의 정확한 해를 O(V)의 선형시간으로 구하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 그래프의 최소 차수를 가진 정점을 최대독립집합 (MIS)으로 하고, MIS 정점의 인접 정점 간선을 삭제한 축소된 그래프에 대해 이 과정을 반복하면서 하나의 색을 가진 MIS를 얻는다. 다음으로 MIS 정점의 간선을 삭제한 축소된 그래프에 대해 동일한 과정을 수행하여 MIS의 개수가 정점 채색수 ${\chi}(G)=k$가 되는 해를 얻는다. 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 NP-완전 문제인 완전 색칠 (total coloring) 채색수 ${\chi}^{{\prime}{\prime}}(G)$의 해를 구하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 $K_4$-마이너 그래프에 적용한 결과 ${\chi}(G)=4$가 아닌 ${\chi}(G)=3$을 얻었다. 결국, Hadwiger 추측은 모든 그래프에 대해 적용되지 않음을 알 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘은 마이너를 구하지 않으며, 주어진 그래프에 대해 직접 ${\chi}(G)=k$인 독립집합 마이너를 구하여 각 독립집합 정점들에 동일한 색을 배정하는 단순한 방법이다.

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is acyclic if G contains no bicolored cycle. A graph G is acyclically L-list colorable if for a given list assignment $L=\{L(v):v{\in}V(G)\}$, there exists an acyclic coloring ${\phi}$ of G such that ${\phi}(v){\in}L(v)$ for all $v{\in}V(G)$ A graph G is acyclically k-choosable if G is acyclically L-list colorable for any list assignment with $L(v){\geq}k$ for all $v{\in}V(G)$. Let G be a planar graph without 5-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles. In this article, we prove that G is acyclically 5-choosable if every vertex v in G is incident with at most one i-cycle, $i {\in}\{6,7\}$.

Graph theory is becoming increasingly significant as it is applied of mathematics, science and technology. It is being actively used in fields as varied as biochemistry(genomics), electrical engineering(communication networks and coding theory), computer science(algorithms and computation) and operations research(scheduling). The powerful results in other areas of pure mathematics. Rhis paper, besides giving a general outlook of these facts, includes new graph theoretical proofs of Fermat's Little Theorem and the Nielson-Schreier Theorem. New applications to DNA sequencing (the SNP assembly problem) and computer network security (worm propagation) using minimum vertex covers in graphs are discussed. We also show how to apply edge coloring and matching in graphs for scheduling (the timetabling problem) and vertex coloring in graphs for map coloring and the assignment of frequencies in GSM mobile phone networks. Finally, we revisit the classical problem of finding re-entrant knight's tours on a chessboard using Hamiltonian circuits in graphs.

본 논문은 화랑 문제의 최소 정점 경비원 수를 구하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. n개의 사각형 방으로 구성된 화랑의 최소 경비원수는 정확한 해를 구하는 공식이 제안되었다. 그러나 단순하거나 장애물이 있는 다각형 또는 직각 다각형에 대해 최대 경비원수를 구하는 공식만이 제안되었으며, 최소 경비원수를 구하는 근사 알고리즘만이 제안되고 있다. n개의 정점으로 구성된 다각형 P에 대한 최대 정점 경비원 수를 구하는 방법은 Fisk가 다음과 같이 제안하였다. 첫 번째로, n-2개의 삼각형으로 구성된 삼각분할을 수행한다. 두 번째로 3색-정점색칠을 한다. 세 번째로 최소 원소를 가진 채색수를 정점 경비원의 위치로 결정한다. 본 논문에서는 지배집합으로 최소 정점 경비원 수를 구한다. 첫 번째로, 가능한 모든 가시적인 정점들 간에 간선을 그린 가시성 그래프를 얻는다. 두 번째로, 가시성그래프로부터 직접 지배집합을 얻는 방법과 가시성 행렬로부터 지배집합을 얻는 방법을 적용하였다. 다양한 화랑 문제에 적용한 결과 제안된 알고리즘은 단순하면서도 최소 정점 경비원 수를 얻을 수 있었다.
