Coloring subgraphs with restricted amounts of hues
We consider vertex colorings where the number of colors given to specified subgraphs is restricted. In particular, given some fixed graph F and some fixed set A of positive integers, we consider (not necessarily proper) colorings of the vertices of a graph G such that, for every copy of F in G, the...

Summary: | We consider vertex colorings where the number of colors given to specified subgraphs is restricted. In particular, given some fixed graph F and some fixed set A of positive integers, we consider (not necessarily proper) colorings of the vertices of a graph G such that, for every copy of F in G, the number of colors it receives is in A. This generalizes proper colorings, defective coloring, and no-rainbow coloring, inter alia. In this paper we focus on the case that A is a singleton set. In particular, we investigate the colorings where the graph F is a star or is 1-regular. |
