The chromatic sum of a graph is the smallest sum of colors among all proper colorings with natural numbers. The strength is the minimum number of colors needed to achieve the chromatic sum. We construct for each positive integer k a tree with strength k that has maximum degree only 2k -2. The result
The problem of minimum color sum of a graph is to color the vertices of the Ε½ . graph such that the sum average of all assigned colors is minimum. Recently it was shown that in general graphs this problem cannot be approximated within 1y β Ε½ n , for any β ) 0, unless NP s ZPP Bar-Noy et al., Informa
