A proper k-edge coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring if there is no 2-colored cycle in G and the color set of edges incident to u is not equal to the color set of edges incident to v, where uv ∈E(G). The adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge chromatic number of G, denoted by χ'αα(G), is the minimal number of colors in an adjacent vertex distinguishing acyclic edge coloring of G. In this paper we prove that if G(V, E) is a graph with no isolated edges, then χ'αα(G)≤32△.
Let G = (V, E) be a simple connected graph, and |V(G)| ≥ 2. Let f be a mapping from V(G) ∪ E(G) to {1,2…, k}. If arbitary uv ∈ E(G),f(u) ≠ f(v),f(u) ≠ f(uv),f(v) ≠ f(uv); arbitary uv, uw ∈ E(G)(v ≠ w), f(uv) ≠ f(uw);arbitary uv ∈ E(G) and u ≠ v, C(u) ≠ C(v), whereC(u)={f(u)}∪{f(uv)|uv∈E(G)}.Then f is called a k-adjacent-vertex-distinguishing-proper-total coloring of the graph G(k-AVDTC of G for short). The number min{k|k-AVDTC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number and denoted by χat(G). In this paper we prove that if △(G) is at least a particular constant and δ ≥32√△ln△, then χat(G) ≤ △(G) + 10^26 + 2√△ln△.
ErdOs,Gimbel and Straight (1990) conjectured that if ω(G)〈5 and z(G)〉3,then z(G)≥Z(G)-2. But by using the concept of edge cochromatic number it is proved that if G is the line graph of a connected triangle-free graph with ω(G)〈5 and G≠K4, then z(G)≥X(G)-2.
