Theory and Applications of Graphs

An edge-colored graph is properly connected if for every pair of vertices u and v there exists a properly colored uv-path (i.e. a uv-path in which no two consecutive edges have the same color). The proper connection number of a connected graph G, denoted pc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G such that the resulting colored graph is properly connected. An edge-colored graph is flexibly connected if for every pair of vertices u and v there exist two properly colored paths between them, say P and Q, such …

Theory and Applications of Graphs

The color number c(G) of a cubic graphG is the minimum cardinality of a color class of a proper 4-edge-coloring of G. It is well-known that every cubic graph G satisfies c(G) = 0 if G

Let $V$ be a set of $n$ vertices for some $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and let $E$ be a collection of $h$-subsets of $V$. Then $\mathscr G = (V,E)$ is an $h$-unifrom hypergraph and we refer to $V$ as its vertex set and to $E$ as its edge set. We say that $\mathscr G$ is complete and denote it by $K_n^h$ if every $h$-subset of $V$ is contained in $E$. If every edge in $E$ is repeated $\lambda$ times, we say $G$ is $\lambda$-fold. Specifically, $\lambda K_n^h$ is the complete $\lambda$-fold $n$-vertex $h$-uniform hypergraph with an edge set containing $\lambda$ copies of every …
