Abstract
We consider a multicolored version of a problem that was originally proposed by Erdős and Rothschild. For positive integers n and r, we look for n-vertex graphs that admit the maximum number of r-edge-colorings with no copy of a triangle where exactly two colors appear. It turns out that for 2 ≤ r ≤ 12 colors and n sufficiently large, the complete bipartite graph on n vertices with balanced bipartition (the n-vertex Turán graph for the triangle) yields the largest number of such colorings, and this graph is unique with this property.
期刊介绍:
ENTCS is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication and the availability on the electronic media is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear in ENTCS, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.
