Graphs Colouring

In Section II the notion of alternant and non-alternant hydrocarbons was introduced, using a graph colouring approach. Although this idea looks interesting, it is rather difficult to see whether there is any physical concept behind the colouring process. In the present section we show the extraordinary importance of separating AHs from NAHs, and in subsequent sections a number of applications will be discussed.

Figure 4 A 3-regular graph of size 4 together with a possible edge-colouring the edge-colouring matrices correspond to entries having the same colour in the adjacency matrix A of the graph.

In this section, we will show that different ways to edge-colour a graph can indeed lead to very different types of quantum graphs with spectral... 

Other useful buttons on the graph window are Table output, Legend, Parameters, Colours, Dashed Lines, Data Points, Grid, Readout and Zoom. 

Possibly select the range of the axes with Graph/Axis Settings. Choose colours or line types with the buttons. 

Plot a graph of the data you collected. Put transfer number on the x-axis and volume of water on the y-axis. Use different symbols or colours to distinguish between the reactant volume and the product volume. Draw the best smooth curve through the data.

By combining these two equations, we can say that if a material is electrochromic and the electrolysis is performed within a constant volume of solution, then the (faradaic) charge is proportional to the optical absorbance. This relationship of Abs a 2 is illustrated in Figure 8.1, where the absorbance, Abs, of the electrochromic colour (as y ) is seen to increase linearly as the charge increases (as x ). The linearity of the graph indicates that both Q and Abs relate to the same... 

The Rashevsky information index was applied to the search for an information balance of chemical reactions 78), and to the study of the problem of selfgeneration of life on Earth 79). The properties of this index were studied by Mowshowitz 80 who also introduced a second topological information index based on the colouring of the graph. 

In order to take into account the increased complexity of molecules with heteroatoms (i.e., graphs with coloured vertices), Bertz combined C(n) with the information for chemical composition, Icc, introduced by Branson 84a) and by Dancoff and Quastler 84b), resulting in ... 

An early spectrophotometric method [ 1 ] for aluminium in soil involves the use of a Technicon sample changer, proportioning pump and automatic colorimeter. The method is based on the measurement of the rate of colour development in the reaction between aluminium and xylenol orange in ethanolic media. The calibration graph is rectilinear up to 2.7 mg/1 aluminium and the coefficient of variation is 4.5%. 

Lopez Garcia et al. [2] have described a rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of boron complex anions in plant extracts and waters which is based on the formation of a blue complex at pH 1 - 2 between the anionic complex of boric acid with 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid and crystal violet. The colour is stabilised with polyvinyl alcohol. At 600 nm the calibration graph is linear in the range 0.3-4.5 xg boron per 25 ml of final solution, with a relative standard deviation of 2.6% for xg/l of boron. In this procedure to determine borate in plant tissues, the dried tissue is treated with calcium hydroxide, then ashed at 400 °C. The ash is digested with 1N sulfuric acid and heated to 80 °C, neutralized with cadmium hydroxide and then treated with acidic 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid and crystal violet, and the colour evaluated spectrophotometrically at 600 nm. Most of the ions present in natural waters or plant extracts do not interfere in the determination of boron complex anions by this procedure. Recoveries of boron from water samples and plant extracts were in the range of 97 -102%.
