A note on prime distance graphs with chromatic number 3 or 4
Prime distance graphs (PDGs) are divided into four classes depending on whether their chromatic number is 1, 2, 3 or 4. It is still an open problem to completely characterize the family of PDGs with chromatic number 3 or 4. In this brief note we give necessary and sufficient conditions for fans and wheels to be PDGs. We also show (1) edge-disjoint copies of a PDG may be chained together to form a PDG, and (2) the Cartesian product of a PDG with a path is a PDG.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Discrete Applied Mathematics is to bring together research papers in different areas of algorithmic and applicable discrete mathematics as well as applications of combinatorial mathematics to informatics and various areas of science and technology. Contributions presented to the journal can be research papers, short notes, surveys, and possibly research problems. The "Communications" section will be devoted to the fastest possible publication of recent research results that are checked and recommended for publication by a member of the Editorial Board. The journal will also publish a limited number of book announcements as well as proceedings of conferences. These proceedings will be fully refereed and adhere to the normal standards of the journal.
Potential authors are advised to view the journal and the open calls-for-papers of special issues before submitting their manuscripts. Only high-quality, original work that is within the scope of the journal or the targeted special issue will be considered.
