Edge-colorings of 4-regular graphs with the minimum number of palettes

S Bonvicini, G Mazzuoccolo - Graphs and Combinatorics, 2016 - Springer
A proper edge-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the edges of G such that
adjacent edges receive distinct colors. A proper edge-coloring defines at each vertex the set …

A family of multigraphs with large palette index

M Avesani, A Bonisoli, G Mazzuoccolo - arXiv preprint arXiv:1801.01336, 2018 - arxiv.org
Given a proper edge-coloring of a loopless multigraph, the palette of a vertex is defined as
the set of colors of the edges which are incident with it. The palette index of a multigraph is …

Even Cycle Decompositions of index 3 by a novel coloring technique

S Bonvicini, MC Molinari - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2022 - Elsevier
An even cycle decomposition of an Eulerian graph is a partition of the edge set into even
cycles. We color the even cycles so as two cycles sharing at least one vertex receive distinct …

A Bonisoli, S Bonvicini - The Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2017 - emis.de
Let $ G $ be a connected graph with an even number of edges. We show that if the
subgraph of $ G $ induced by the vertices of odd degree has a perfect matching, then the …

[PDF][PDF] Palette index of regular complete multipartite multigraphs

M HORˇNAK, M MESZKA, M WOZNIAK - ii.uj.edu.pl
Let G be a multigraph, C a set of colors and f: E (G)→ C a proper edge coloring of G. The
palette of a vertex v∈ V (G) is the set Sf (v)={f (vw): vw∈ E (G)}. The palette index of G is the …
