Chromatic Curling Number of Certain Derived Graphs

Susanth Chandoor, Sudev Naduvath, Sunny Joseph Kalayathankal

Abstract


The curling number of a graph G is dened as the number of times an element in the degree sequence of G appears the maximum number of times. Graph colouring is an assignment of colours, labels or weights to the vertices or edges of a graph. A colouring C of colours c1, c2,..., cl is said to be a minimum parameter colouring if C consists of minimum number of colours with smallest subscripts. In this paper, we study the chromatic colouring version of curling number of certain derived graphs, with respect to their minimum parameter colourings.


Keywords
