A Study of IC-coloring of Graphs 研 究 生:林耀仁 指導教授:江南波
Sum-saturable Let G = (V, E) be an undirected graph with p vertices and let K = p(p+1)/2. Let f be a bijective function from V to {1,2,...,p}. Then f is said to be a saturating labelling of G if, given any k (1 k K), there exists a connected subgraph H of G such that . If a saturating labelling of G exists, then G is said to be sum-saturable.
IC-coloring let G=(V, E) be an undirected graph and let f be a function from V to N. For each subgraph H of G, we define fs(H) = .Then f is said to be a IC-coloring of G if, given any k ( 1 k fs(G)) there exists a connected subgraph H of G such that fs(H)=k. The IC-index of G is defined to be M(G) = max{fs(G) | f is an IC-coloring of G}

A T-graph be an undirected graph with p vertices consistingof vertex set V(T) = {V1, V2, … , Vp} and edge setE(T) = {V1V2, V2V3, V3V4, … , Vp-2Vp-1,VpV2}.
Theorem 2.1.1. The T-graph with order p=6 is not Sum-saturable. proof. • Assume T-graph with order p=6 is sum-saturable, then there is a saturating labeling f of T-graph. • Given any k (1 k 21=K), there exists a connected subgraph H of T such that . • Because K-1 and K-2 exists a connected subgraph H of T. So, number 1 and number 2 are labeling in end-vertex. • Hence we have following three cases :

Remark. We use the same way in Theorem 2.1.3, and we got the T-graph of order p 9 is not sum-saturable.
Conjecture 2.1.4. Suppose that T is a tree of order p. If Δ(T) > ,then T is sum-saturable.
A rooted tree T is a complete n-ary tree, if each vertex in T except the leaves has exactly n children. For each vertex v in T, if the length of the path from the root to v is L, then we say that v is on the level L. If all leaves are on the same level h, then we call T a perfect complete n-ary tree with the hight h.
Theorem 2.2.1. A perfect complete binary tree T is sum-saturable. Proof. Let h be the hight of T. If h 2 Hence perfect complete binary trees with height h 2 are sum-saturable.

Corollary 2.2.2. A perfect complete n-ary tree is sum-saturable.

Proof. • Let V(Kn-L)={V1, V2, … , Vn}. • We assign the vertexV1 is non-adjacent to the vertex Vn-1 and the vertex V2 is non-adjacent to the vertex Vn. • We define f:V(Kn-L) N by f(Vi)=2i-1, for all i=1, 2, … ,n-2, f(Vn-1)=2n-2-2 and f(Vn)=2n-1-5. • We claim that f is an IC-coloring of V(Kn-L), with fs(Kn-L)= +(2n-2-2)+(2n-1-5)=2n-8. • For any integer k [1, 2n-8], and consider the following three cases:
(i) k [1, 2n-2-1] (ii) k [2n-2, 2n-1-3] Let a=k-(2n-2-2), then 2 a 2n-2 -1. (iii) k [2n-1-2, 2n-8] Let b=k-(2n-1 -5), then 3 b 2n-1 -3. We get 2n-8 M(Kn-L) 2n-3.
