The graph coloring game is a mathematical game related to graph theory. Coloring game problems arose as game-theoretic versions of well-known graph coloring problems. In a coloring game, two players use a given set of colors to construct a coloring of a graph , following specific rules depending on the game we consider.
Below is the table of the vertex numbers for the best-known graphs (as of June 2024) in the undirected degree diameter problem for graphs of degree at most 3 ≤ d ≤ 16 and diameter 2 ≤ k ≤ 10. Only a few of the graphs in this table (marked in bold) are known to be optimal (that is, largest possible).
The smallest number of colors needed for an edge coloring of a graph G is the chromatic index, or edge chromatic number, χ ′ (G). A Tait coloring is a 3-edge coloring of a cubic graph . The four color theorem is equivalent to the assertion that every planar cubic bridgeless graph admits a Tait coloring.
Moreover, the clique number ω(G) of a graph G is the number of vertices in a maximum clique in G. The intersection number of G is the smallest number of cliques that together cover all edges of G. The clique cover number of a graph G is the smallest number of cliques of G whose union covers the set of vertices V of the graph.
Many triangle-free graphs are not bipartite, for example any cycle graph C n for odd n > 3. By Turán's theorem, the n-vertex triangle-free graph with the maximum number of edges is a complete bipartite graph in which the numbers of vertices on each side of the bipartition are as equal as possible.
For a graph G, let χ(G) denote the chromatic number and Δ(G) the maximum degree of G.The list coloring number ch(G) satisfies the following properties.. ch(G) ≥ χ(G).A k-list-colorable graph must in particular have a list coloring when every vertex is assigned the same list of k colors, which corresponds to a usual k-coloring.
An example of a chart containing gratuitous chartjunk. This chart uses a large area and much "ink" (many symbols and lines) to show only five hard-to-read numbers, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Chartjunk consists of all visual elements in charts and graphs that are not necessary to comprehend the information represented on the graph, or that distract the ...
Graph pebbling is a mathematical game played on a graph with zero or more pebbles on each of its vertices. 'Game play' is composed of a series of pebbling moves. A pebbling move on a graph consists of choosing a vertex with at least two pebbles, removing two pebbles from it, and adding one to an adjacent vertex (the second removed pebble is discarded from play). π(G), the pebbling number of a ...
