Neighbor-locating colorings in graphs

A k -coloring of a graph G is a k -partition ¿ = { S 1 ,...,S k } of V ( G ) into independent sets, called colors . A k -coloring is called neighbor-locating if for every pair of vertices u,v belonging to the same color S i , the set of colors of the neighborhood of u is different from the set of co...

Sumario:A k -coloring of a graph G is a k -partition ¿ = { S 1 ,...,S k } of V ( G ) into independent sets, called colors . A k -coloring is called neighbor-locating if for every pair of vertices u,v belonging to the same color S i , the set of colors of the neighborhood of u is different from the set of colors of the neighborhood of v . The neighbor-locating chromatic number ¿ NL ( G ) is the minimum cardinality of a neighbor-locating coloring of G . We establish some tight bounds for the neighbor-locating chromatic number of a graph, in terms of its order, maximum degree and independence number. We determine all connected graphs of order n = 5 with neighbor-locating chromatic number n or n - 1. We examine the neighbor-locating chromatic number for two graph operations: join and disjoint union, and also for two graph families: split graphs and Mycielski graphs
