On various (strong) rainbow connection numbers of graphs. (arXiv:1601.01063v3 [math.CO] UPDATED)

An edge-coloured path is \emph{rainbow} if all the edges have distinct colours. For a connected graph $G$, the \emph{rainbow connection number} $rc(G)$ is the minimum number of colours in an edge-colouring of $G$ such that, any two vertices are connected by a rainbow path. Similarly, the \emph{strong rainbow connection number} $src(G)$ is the minimum number of colours in an edge-colouring of $G$ such that, any two vertices are connected by a rainbow geodesic (i.e., a path of shortest length). These two concepts of connectivity in graphs were introduced by Chartrand et al.~in 2008. Subsequently, vertex-coloured versions of both parameters, $rvc(G)$ and $srvc(G)$, and a total-coloured version of the rainbow connection number, $trc(G)$, were introduced. In this paper we introduce the strong total rainbow connection number $strc(G)$, which is the version of the strong rainbow connection number using total-colourings. Among our results, we will determine the strong total rainbow connection 查看全文>>
