Extremal Problems in Graph Theory: Degree Sequences, Distance, Colorings, and Labelings

Abstract

dc:description

Let f(n, p, q) be the minimum number of colors required to color the edges of Kn in such a way that the edges of every Kp⊆Kn together receive at least q colors. We focus on determining f(n, 4, 3) and prove a constructive upper bound of eOlogn . This improves on the previous best (probabilistic) bound of On (due to Erdos and Gyarfas).
