Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立屏東教育大學 === 應用數學系 === 96 === The game chromatic number of a graph is introduced by Bodlaender in [1], where the game chromatic number of a tree is discussed, and it is conjectured that the game chromatic number of a planar graph is bounded. It is known that there are outerplanar graphs G with χg(G) = 6. It is also known that every outerplanar graph G has χg(G) at most 7. The question is whether or not there is an outer planar graph G with χg(G) = 7. In this paper, we construct an outerplanar graph with game chromatic number 6 and analyse its structures and properties.
