图G的一个正常全染色f称为是邻点可区别的,如果G中任何相邻点的点及其关联边的颜色集合不同。对一个图G进行邻点可区别的正常全染色所用最少颜色数称为G的邻点可区别全色数,记为χat(G)。证明了χat(G)≤Δ(G)+2对任意的Δ(G)≥11且围长至少为4的平面图G成立。
A proper total coloring of G is an adjacent vertex distinguishing total coloring if for any two adjacent vertices,the sets of colors appearing on the vertex and incident edges are different.The smallest number of colors of which such a coloring of G exists is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing total chromatic number,and is denoted by χat(G).It is proved that χat(G)≤Δ(G)+2 for any planar bipartite graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) at least 11 and girth at least 4.
