每个次立方图都是可填装(1,1,2,2,3)-着色的

Every subcubic graph is packing $(1,1,2,2,3)$-colorable

Xujun Liu, Xin Zhang, Yanting Zhang

AI总结:

本研究证明所有次立方图均可进行填装(1,1,2,2,3)-着色且结果紧,将次立方图1-细分图的填装色数上界从8降至6,向解决相关猜想迈进关键一步。

摘要:

对于非递减整数序列$S=(s_1, \ldots, s_k)$,图$G$的填装$S$-着色是将其顶点集$V(G)$划分为$V_1, \ldots, V_k$,使得对任意$1 \le i \le k$,任意两个不同顶点$u,v \in V_i$之间的距离至少为$s_i+1$。图$G$的填装色数$χ_p(G)$是使得$G$存在填装$(1,2, \ldots, k)$-着色的最小整数$k$。Gastineau和Togni提出了一个公开问题:“任意次立方图$G$的1-细分图$D(G)$的填装色数是否都不超过5?”随后Brešar、Klavžar、Rall和Wash提出猜想,认为该结论成立。\n 本文证明了每个次立方图都存在填装$(1,1,2,2,3)$-着色,且该结果是紧的,因为存在不具备填装$(1,1,2,2)$-着色的次立方图。作为该结果的推论,任意次立方图$G$都满足$χ_p(D(G)) \le 6$,改进了Balogh、Kostochka和Liu在2019年得到的上界8,目前距离完全解决该猜想仅一步之遥。

英文摘要:

For a sequence $S=(s_1, \ldots, s_k)$ of non-decreasing integers, a packing $S$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of its vertex set $V(G)$ into $V_1, \ldots, V_k$ such that for every pair of distinct vertices $u,v \in V_i$, where $1 \le i \le k$, the distance between $u$ and $v$ is at least $s_i+1$. The packing chromatic number, $χ_p(G)$, of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that $G$ has a packing $(1,2, \ldots, k)$-coloring. Gastineau and Togni asked an open question ``Is it true that the $1$-subdivision ($D(G)$) of any subcubic graph $G$ has packing chromatic number at most $5$?'' and later Brešar, Klavžar, Rall, and Wash conjectured that it is true. In this paper, we prove that every subcubic graph has a packing $(1,1,2,2,3)$-coloring and it is sharp due to the existence of subcubic graphs that are not packing $(1,1,2,2)$-colorable. As a corollary of our result, $χ_p(D(G)) \le 6$ for every subcubic graph $G$, improving a previous bound ($8$) due to Balogh, Kostochka, and Liu in 2019, and we are now just one step away from fully solving the conjecture.
