Fig. 5.38. Visualizations of MOREX simulation results are depicted as colored surfaces, using per vertex coloring (left) and a texture mapping based per pixel coloring (right). TECK uses texture mapping in order to realize a per pixel coloring that avoids artefacts resulting from per vertex coloring schemes.

A graph homomorphism G —> is the same as a vertex coloring of G with n colors. In particular, the chromatic number of G, denoted by x(G), is the minimal n such that there exists a graph homomorphism p G Kn see Definition 17.2. 

In this part of the book we describe a topological approach to the classical problem of vertex-colorings in graphs, which roughly can be summarized by the following scheme ... 

Clearly, a vertex coloring exists if and only if G has no loops. 

A special place in the theory of vertex-colorings of a graph is occupied by the so-called four-color problem the question whether there is a four-coloring of a planar map such that every pair of coimtries that share a (nonpoint) boundary segment receive different colors. Let us show the weaker five-color theorem. Before we can prove it, we need a standard fact, which is a special case of the Euler-Poincare formula. 

If we recolor all the vertices of C simultaneously, by swapping colors 1 and 3, then we obtain a new vertex-coloring of G. If c does not belong to C, then such a recoloring will produce a 5-coloring of G such that vertices a and c have color 3 hence we can color the vertex x with the color 1. 

Note that the usual vertex coloring is a fractional coloring defined by / I G) 0,1, where the maximal monochromatic independent sets map to 1, and all other sets map to 0. The weight of this fractional coloring is equal to the number of colors hence we have Xf(G) < x(G). 

Lovasz has introduced the neighborhood complex N G) as a part of his topological approach to the resolution of the Kneser conjecture. The hard part of the proof is to show the inequality x En,k) > n — 2k + 2, and Lovasz s idea was to use the connectivity information of the topological space Af G) to find obstructions to the vertex-colorability of G. More precisely, he proved the following statement. 

A vertex coloring technique is used to assign operations to specific EXUs. 

One starts from the fact that both matrices and are symmetric preserving the symmetry and the null-main diagonal of the D template since rooting in an invariant topological index. The vertex coloring allows for the calculation of both colored versions of the topo-reactive descriptors T(x) and T(ri), given in terms of the respective matrices and by Eqs. (3.196) and (3.197), respectively. First, the t( (f)..generic element of TL considers the shortest path between v. and v. (e.g., v. v.)... 

The primary Cr—O bonded species is cbromium (VT) oxide, CrO, which is better known as chromic acid [1115-74-5], the commercial and common name. This compound also has the aliases chromic trioxide and chromic acid anhydride and shows some similarity to SO. The crystals consist of infinite chains of vertex-shared CrO tetrahedra and are obtained as an orange-red precipitate from the addition of sulfuric acid to the potassium or sodium dichromate(VI). Completely dry CrO is very dark red to red purple, but the compound is deflquescent and even traces of water give the normal mby red color. Cbromium (VT) oxide is a very powerful oxidi2er and contact with oxidi2able organic compounds may cause fires or explosions. 

Suppose you have six balls with three different colors, three red, two blue, one yellow. Balls of the same color cannot be distinguished. In how many ways can you assign the six balls to the six vertices of an octahedron which moves freely in spacel If the octahedron is fixed in space in such a way that the vertices are designated as upper, lower, front, back, left, and right vertex, then the number is determined by basic permutation principles as... 

The vertices of an arbitrary graph can be arbitrarily partitioned into species, subject to the obvious restriction that each vertex belongs to exactly one species. That is, two different species have no element in common. Imagine the vertices of one species as balls of the same color, or as atoms of the same element. 

The four-color problem (prove that four colors are sufficient to color any map in the plane or on a sphere so that no two adjacent regions have the same color) is another problem in which it is possible to associate a vertex with each region of a map and join the vertices if their corresponding regions have a com-/) mon boundary that is more than one point. Graph... 

Proof. Let O be the output of our algorithm. It is clear that C" is a valid coloring of G, and thus also a valid coloring of G. For each vertex Vi, the number of neighboring vertices of Wj is about np. The number of all vertices of the same color as c s is about - < 21og6n. Consequently, the probability... 

For each vertex of the convex hull of the observed colors, we compute the feasible maps. We then intersect all these maps, as the actual illuminant must lie somewhere inside the intersection of these sets. Therefore, each vertex of the convex hull of the observed gamut gives us additional constraints to reduce the set of possible illuminants that may have produced the observed image. Let Ain be the computed intersection. 

The three-dimensional gamut-constraint method assumes that a canonical illuminant exists. The method first computes the convex hull TLC of the canonical illuminant. The points of the convex hull are then scaled using the set of image pixels. Here, the convex hull would be rescaled by the inverse of the two pixel colors cp and Cbg. The resulting hulls are then intersected and a vertex with the largest trace is selected from the hull. The following result would be obtained for the intersection of the maps Mn-... 

The vertices of a benzenoid system can be colored by two colors, say black and white, so that first neighbors have different colors [3], Since every double bond in a Kekule structure lies between a black and a white vertex, every Kekulean benzenoid system must have equal numbers of black and white vertices. (Recall that the K = 0 benzenoids having equal numbers of black and white vertices are called concealed non-Kekulean systems [3].)...
