There are four standard products of graphs: the direct product, the Cartesian product, the strong product and the lexicographic product. The chromatic number turned out to be an interesting parameter on all these products, except on the Cartesian one. A survey is given on the results concerning the
## Abstract We introduce the (__a,b__)βcoloring game, an asymmetric version of the coloring game played by two players Alice and Bob on a finite graph, which differs from the standard version in that, in each turn, Alice colors __a__ vertices and Bob colors __b__ vertices. We also introduce a relat
We prove that the game coloring number, and therefore the game chromatic number, of a planar graph is at most 18. This is a slight improvement of the current upper bound of 19. Perhaps more importantly, we bound the game coloring number of a graph G in terms of a new parameter r(G). We use this resu
## Abstract We prove that for any planar graph __G__ with maximum degree Ξ, it holds that the chromatic number of the square of __G__ satisfies Ο(__G__^2^)ββ€β2Ξβ+β25. We generalize this result to integer labelings of planar graphs involving constraints on distances one and two in the graph. Β© 2002
