The strong chromatic index of a graph G, denoted sq(G), is the minimum number of parts needed to partition the edges of G into induced matchings. For 0 β€ k β€ l β€ m, the subset graph S m (k, l) is a bipartite graph whose vertices are the kand l-subsets of an m element ground set where two vertices ar

A k-critical (multi-) graph G has maximum degree k, chromatic index Ο (G) = k + 1, and Ο (G -e) < k + 1 for each edge e of G. For each k β₯ 3, we construct k-critical (multi-) graphs with certain properties to obtain counterexamples to some well-known conjectures.
We show that coloring the edges of a multigraph G in a particular order often leads to improved upper bounds for the chromatic index Ο (G). Applying this to simple graphs, we significantly generalize recent conditions based on the core of G (i.e., the subgraph of G induced by the vertices of degree
We introduce in this paper the notion of the chromatic number of an oriented graph G (that is of an antisymmetric directed graph) defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph H such that G admits a homomorphism to H. We study the chromatic number of oriented k-trees and of oriented graphs with
Colorings of disk graphs arise in the study of the frequency-assignment problem in broadcast networks. Motivated by the observations that the chromatic number of graphs modeling real networks hardly exceeds their clique number, we examine the related properties of the unit disk (UD) graphs and their
