Abstract


Abstract

Vertex coloring has always been a topic of interest. Motivated by the studies on -chromatic mean and variance of some standard graphs, in this paper, we obtain few results for -chromatic and -chromatic mean and variance of some cycle related graph classes. Here, Vertex coloring of a graph  is taken to be the random experiment. Discrete random variable  for this random experiment is the color of randomly chosen vertex of .

Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C15, 05C75.

 

Keywords: -coloring, coloring mean, coloring variance, -chromatic mean, -chromatic variance.
