Abstract
Abstract Under an edge coloring (not necessarily proper), a rainbow path is a path whose edge colors are all distinct. The d-local rainbow connection number lrcd(G) (respectively, d-local strong rainbow connection number lsrcd(G)) is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G such that any two vertices with distance at most d can be connected by a rainbow path (respectively, rainbow geodesic). This generalizes rainbow connection numbers, which are the special case d = diam(G). We discuss some bounds and exact values. Moreover, we also characterize all triples of positive integers d, a, b such that there is a connected graph G with lrcd(G) = a and lsrcd(G) = b.
期刊介绍:
The Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory publishes high-quality refereed original papers. Occasionally, very authoritative expository survey articles and notes of exceptional value can be published. The journal is mainly devoted to the following topics in Graph Theory: colourings, partitions (general colourings), hereditary properties, independence and domination, structures in graphs (sets, paths, cycles, etc.), local properties, products of graphs as well as graph algorithms related to these topics.
