Abstract:Let G be a graph and t a nonnegative integer. Suppose f is a mapping from the vertex set of G to {1, 2, . . . , k}. If, for any vertex u of G, the number of neighbors v of u with f (v) = f (u) is less than or equal to t, then f is called a t-relaxed k-coloring of G. And G is said to be (k, t)-colorable. The t-relaxed chromatic number of G, denote by χ t (G), is defined as the minimum integer k such that G is (k, t)-colorable. A set S of vertices in G is t-sparse if S induces a graph with a maximum degree of at… Show more
