※ 引述《plover (○(* ̄中肯 ̄*)○)》之銘言: : Prove that χ(G) + χ(the complement of G) ≦ n(G) + 1. : From West, Introduction to Graph Theory, 2/e, Exercise 5.1.41 : 很有趣,可以玩一玩 @@a 好久沒有寫圖論,來試試看... We'll prove the statement by induction on n(G). Denote G* as the complement of G. For n(G) = 1, the statment is trivially true. Assume for every G with n(G) < n the statement holds. Now for a graph G with n(G) = n, take an arbitrary vertex v in V(G). Consider G-v, by induction hypothesis, χ(G-v) + χ((G-v)*) <= n(G-v) + 1 = n. Since χ(H) <= χ(H-v) + 1 for every non-null graph H, either χ(G) = χ(G-v) or χ(G*) = χ((G-v)*) will makes the desire inequality hold: χ(G) + χ(G*) <= χ(G-v) + χ((G-v)*) + 1 <= n + 1. The remain case is that both χ(G) = χ(G-v) + 1 and χ(G*) = χ((G-v)*) + 1. This happens only when v adjacents to at least χ(G-v) neighbors in G-v, otherwise there are still usable colors remain. Same as to (G-v)*, there are at least χ((G-v)*) neighbors of v. Since there are n-1 neighbors of v in G-v and (G-v)* in total, we have χ(G-v) + χ((G-v)*) <= n - 1; now the desire inequality still holds. By induction the original statement holds for every G.

plover :阿..Since there are n-1 neighbors of v in G-v and 04/23 01:06
plover :(G-v)* in total. 原來是最多有(n-1)個neighbors 04/23 01:06
plover :謝謝 m(_ _)m 04/23 01:07
hcsoso :對對,因為不用管自己~ 04/23 01:07
