Abstract:

More general counterexamples to D(d)-VDTC conjecture were obtained by means of reduction to absurdity and the method of combinatorial analysis. These examples also show that the difference between D(d)-vertex distinguishing total chromatic number and its trivial lower bound may exceed arbitrary positive integer.

Key words: total coloring, D(d)-vertex distinguishing total coloring, D(d)-vertex distinguishing total chromatic number, cycle, circulant graph
