Abstract
Given a set [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], a tree [Formula: see text] is considered as a total proper [Formula: see text]-tree or a total proper tree connecting [Formula: see text] if any two adjacent or incident elements of edges and [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] differ in color. Let [Formula: see text] be a connected graph of order [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] be an integer with [Formula: see text]. A total-colored graph is total proper[Formula: see text]-tree connected if for every set [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] vertices, there exists a total proper [Formula: see text]-tree in [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-total-proper index of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum number of colors required to make [Formula: see text] total proper [Formula: see text]-tree connected. In this paper, we first investigate the [Formula: see text]-total-proper index of some special graphs. Moreover, we characterize the graphs with [Formula: see text]-total-proper index [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Interconnection Networks (JOIN) is an international scientific journal dedicated to advancing the state-of-the-art of interconnection networks. The journal addresses all aspects of interconnection networks including their theory, analysis, design, implementation and application, and corresponding issues of communication, computing and function arising from (or applied to) a variety of multifaceted networks. Interconnection problems occur at different levels in the hardware and software design of communicating entities in integrated circuits, multiprocessors, multicomputers, and communication networks as diverse as telephone systems, cable network systems, computer networks, mobile communication networks, satellite network systems, the Internet and biological systems.
