Your goal is to minimize the number of vertices needing this expensive paint. This paper address the issues surrounding your choices. In particular, a graph is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there exists a coloring with $d$ colors so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the color classes. The distinguishing number of $G$, denoted ${rm Dist}(G)$, is the smallest $d$ for which $G$ is $d$-distinguishable. We define the -paint cost of $d$-distinguishing, denoted $rho^d(G)$, to be the minimum number of vertices that need to be painted to $d$-distinguish $G$. This cost varies with $d$. The maximum paint cost for $G$ is called the upper paint cost, denoted $rho^u(G)$, and occurs when $d={rm Dist}(G)$; the minimum paint cost is called the lower paint cost, denoted $rho^ell(G)$. Further, we define the smallest $d$ for which the paint cost is $rho^ell(G)$, to be the frugal distinguishing number, ${rm Fdist}(G)$. In this paper we formally define $rho^d(G)$, $rho^u(G)$, $rho^ell(G)$, and ${rm Fdist}(G)$. We also show that $rho^u(G)$ and $rho^ell(G)$, as well as ${rm Fdist}(G)$ and ${rm Dist}(G)$, can be arbitrarily large multiples of each other. Lastly, we find these parameters for the book graph $B_{m,n}$, summarized as follows. For $ngeq 2$ and $mgeq 4$, we show $bullet$ $rho^ell(B_{m,n}) = n-1;$ $bullet$ $rho^u(B_{m,n}) geq (m-2) left( n-k^{m-3} right) +1$, where $k={rm Dist}(B_{m,n});$ $bullet$ ${rm Fdist}(B_{m,n}) = 2+leftlfloor frac{n-1}{m-2} rightrfloor.$","PeriodicalId":236892,"journal":{"name":"Art Discret.
