Abstract
Let πΊ be a graph with vertex set π(πΊ) and edge set πΈ(πΊ). An r-dynamic vertex coloring of a graph πΊ is a assigning colors to the vertices of G such that for every vertex π£ receives at least πππ{π, π(π£)} colors in its neighbors. The minimum color used in r- dynamic vertex coloring of graph πΊ is called the r-dynamic chromatic number denoted as ππ(πΊ). In this research we well determine the coloring pattern and the r-dynamic chromatic number of the comb graph ππβ πΎ1, central graph of comb graph πΆ(ππβ πΎ1), middle graph of comb graph π(ππβ πΎ1), line graph of comb graph πΏ(ππβ πΎ1), sub- division graf of comb graph π(ππβ πΎ1), and para-line graph of comb graph π(ππβ πΎ1).
Keywords: r-Dynamic coloring, chromatic number, comb graph, central graph, middle graph, line graph, sub-division graph, para-line graph.
1. INTRODUCTION AND PRELIMINARIES
Graph theory is a part of discrete mathematics that is used to express model pairwise relations between objects. Graph theory was first introduced in 1736 by a Swiss mathematician named Leonhard Euler. In his writing, Euler provided an illustration of the KΓΆnigsberg bridge with its four landmasses as points and its seven bridges as sides with research results that it was impossible to cross each of the seven bridges once and return to their original place.
Nowadays, graph theory is starting to experience a lot of development. One of the popular topics in graph theory to study is graph coloring. Graph coloring is divided into three types, including vertex coloring, edge coloring, and region coloring. Furthermore, in graph coloring there is also a concept of r-dynamic coloring. Fierera and Sugeng [3] define r-dynamic coloring, for example, if π is a positive integer, π-dynamic coloring with π-colors on a graph πΊ is the exact coloring of points with π-colors on the graph πΊ such that for every vertex π£ receives at least min{π, π(π£)} colors in its neighbors. The minimum π for graph πΊ in π-dynamic coloring with π- color is called the π-dynamic chromatic number of graph πΊ, denoted as ππ(πΊ).
Let πΊ be a simple and finite graph with vertex π(πΊ) and edge set πΈ(πΊ). Comb graph is a graph obtained from corona operations from the path graph ππ with the complete graph πΎ1. The comb graph is denoted by ππβ πΎ1. The central graph [16] πΆ(πΊ) of a graph πΊ is obtained from πΊ by adding an extra vertex on each edge of πΊ, and then joining each pair of vertices of the original graph which were previously non-adjacent. The middle graph [11] of πΊ denoted by π(πΊ), is defined as follows, the vertex set of π(πΊ) is π(πΊ) βͺ πΈ(πΊ). Two vertices π₯, π¦ of π(πΊ) are adjacent in π(πΊ) in case one of the following holds: (i) π’, π£ are in πΈ(πΊ) and π’, π£ are adjacent in πΊ. (ii) π£ β π(πΊ), π’ β πΈ(πΊ)and π’, π£ are incident in πΊ. The line graph [6] of πΊ, denoted by πΏ(πΊ), is the graph whose vertex set is the edge set of πΊ. Two vertices of πΏ(πΊ) are adjacent whenever the corresponding edges of πΊ are adjacent. The sub-division graph π(πΊ) [8] is obtained simply by inserting a new vertex for each edge of πΊ. Para-line graph P(G) [8] is the line graph of a sub-division graph.
Definition 1.1 [8]. An r-dynamic coloring of a graph is a map π from π(πΊ) to the set of colors such that:
(i) if π’π£ β (πΈ(πΊ)), then π(π’) β π(π£), and (ii) βπ£ β π(πΊ), |π(π(π£))| β₯ πππ{π, π(π£)}.
Where r is a positive integer, π(π£) denotes the set of all vertices adjacent to π£ and π(π£) its degree.
2. MAIN RESULTS
Proposition and theorems used to find out the r-chromatic number from the r-dynamic coloring of a comb graph and some operations such as central graph, middle graph, line graph, sub-division graph, and para-line graph of the comb graph ππβ πΎ1. The proposition and each theorems contain coloring labels which aim to find the minimum color used in r-dynamic vertex coloring of graph.
Proposition 2.1 Let π β₯ 4, then the r-dynamic chromatic number of the comb graph ππβ πΎ1 is:
Οπ(ππβ πΎ1) = {
2, πππ π = 1 3, πππ π = 2 4, πππ π = 3 Proof
Let the vertex set and edge set of the comb graph ππβ πΎ1 are as follows:
π(ππβ πΎ1) = {π£1, π£2, β¦ , π£π, π’1, π’2, β¦ , π’π} and πΈ(ππβ πΎ1) = πΈ(ππ) βͺ {π£ππ’π βΆ π = 1,2,3 β¦ , π}.
Where πΈ(ππ) is the edge set of a path graph.
The maximum degree of ππβ πΎ1 are β(ππβ πΎ1) = 3 shown by π£2, π£3, β¦ , π£πβ1 and the minimum degree of ππβ πΎ1 are Ξ΄(ππβ πΎ1) = 1 shown by π’1, π’2, β¦ , π’π.
Define the mapping π βΆ π β π+. Proof is carried out through three cases.
Case 1: For π = 1, we use the following colorings as is:
π(π£π) = {1, πππ π πππ
2, πππ π ππ£ππ and π(π’π) = {2, πππ π πππ 1, πππ π ππ£ππ
Thus we require 2 colors, that is Οπ(ππβ πΎ1) = 2 for π = 1.
Case 2: For π = 2, we use the following colorings as is:
π(π£π) = {
π(π£3πβ2) = 1 π(π£3πβ1) = 2 π(π£3π) = 3
and π(π’π) = {
π(π’3πβ2) = 3 π(π’3πβ1) = 1 π(π’3π) = 1
Thus we require 3 colors, that is Οπ(ππβ πΎ1) = 3 for π = 2.
Case 3: For π = 3, we use the following colorings as is:
π(π£π) = {
π(π£3πβ2) = 2 π(π£3πβ1) = 3 π(π£3π) = 4
and π(π’π) = {1}

Thus we require 4 colors, that is Οπ(ππβ πΎ1) = 4 for π = 3.

{π’ππ’π | π = 1,2, β¦ , π β 1} βͺ {π£ππ£π | π£ππ£πβ πΈ(ππβ πΎ1)}.
The maximum degree of πΆ(ππβ πΎ1) are β(πΆ(ππβ πΎ1)) = 3 shown by π£1, π£2, β¦ , π£π, π’1, π’2, β¦ , π’π and the minimum degree of πΆ(ππβ πΎ1) are Ξ΄(πΆ(ππβ πΎ1)) = 1 shown by π£β²1, π£β²2, β¦ , π£β²πβ1, π’β²1, π’β²2, β¦ , π’β²π.
