Let G = (V E) be a simple graph of order and be an integer with ≥ 1. The set X ⊆ V (G) is called an -packing if each two distinct vertices in X are more than apart. A packing colouring of G is a partition X = {X 1 X 2 X } of V (G) such that each colour class X is an -packing. The minimum order of a packing colouring is called the packing chromatic number of G, denoted by χ ρ (G). In this paper we show, using a theoretical proof, that if = 4 , for some integer ≥ 3, then 9 ≤ χ ρ (C 4 2C ) ≤ 11. We will also show that if is a multiple of four, then χ ρ (C 4 2C ) = 9.MSC: 05C69
For positive integers ∆ and D we define n ∆,D to be the largest number of vertices in an outerplanar graph of given maximum degree ∆ and diameter D. We prove that n ∆
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
