Edge coloring of products of signed graphs
In 2020, Behr defined the problem of edge coloring of signed graphs and showed that every signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ can be colored using exactly $\Delta(G)$ or $\Delta(G) + 1$ colors, where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximum degree in graph $G$. In this paper, we focus on products of signed graphs. We reca...

Zusammenfassung: | In 2020, Behr defined the problem of edge coloring of signed graphs and
showed that every signed graph $(G, \sigma)$ can be colored using exactly
$\Delta(G)$ or $\Delta(G) + 1$ colors, where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximum degree
in graph $G$.
In this paper, we focus on products of signed graphs. We recall the
definitions of the Cartesian, tensor, strong, and corona products of signed
graphs and prove results for them. In particular, we show that $(1)$ the
Cartesian product of $\Delta$-edge-colorable signed graphs is
$\Delta$-edge-colorable, $(2)$ the tensor product of a $\Delta$-edge-colorable
signed graph and a signed tree requires only $\Delta$ colors and $(3)$ the
corona product of almost any two signed graphs is $\Delta$-edge-colorable. We
also prove some results related to the coloring of products of signed paths and
cycles. |
