摘要: 图 G 的无圈边染色是一种正常边染色,且染色中不存在双色圈。图 G 的广义无圈边染色是在无圈边染色基础上进一步要求不存在双色路。本文借助洛瓦兹(Lovász)局部引理(LLL)与熵压缩方法,得到:对最大度为 Δ 的任意图 G ,当 Δ 充分大时,其广义无圈边色数上界为 ( k−2 ) ( k−3 ) − k−3 k−2 ⌈ k 2 ⌉ 1 k−2 Δ k−1 k−2 +3Δ (其中 k 为图 G 中路的长度),该结果为广义无圈边染色问题提供了一个更优的上界。
Abstract: The acyclic edge coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring without bichromatic cycles. The generalized acyclic edge coloring of a graph G is an acyclic edge coloring without bichromatic paths. Based on Lovász Local Lemma (LLL) and the entropy compression method, we concluded that for any graph G with maximum degree Δ , the generalized acyclic edge chromatic index is at most ( k−2 ) ( k−3 ) − k−3 k−2 ⌈ k 2 ⌉ 1 k−2 Δ k−1 k−2 +3Δ ( k is the length of paths in the graph G ) when Δ is large enough, providing a better upper bound for the generalized acyclic edge coloring problem.
