Title
6-Star-Coloring of Subcubic Graphs
Abstract
AbstractA star coloring of an undirected graph G is a proper vertex coloring of G i.e., no two adjacent vertices are assigned the same color such that no path on four vertices is 2-colored. The star chromatic number of G is the smallest integer k for which G admits a star coloring with k colors. In this paper, we prove that every subcubic graph is 6-star-colorable. Moreover, the upper bound 6 is best possible, based on the example constructed by Fertin, Raspaud, and Reed J Graph Theory 473 2004, 140-153.
