Abstract:

This paper investigates a competitive version of the coloring game on a finite graph G. An asymmetric variant of the (r, d)-relaxed coloring game is called the (r, d)-relaxed (a, b)-coloring game. In this game, two players, Alice and Bob, take turns coloring the vertices of a graph G, using colors from a set X, with vertical bar X vertical bar = r. On each turn Alice colors a vertices and Bob colors b vertices. A color alpha is an element of X is legal for an uncolored vertex u if by coloring u with color a, the subgraph induced by all the vertices colored with a has maximum degree at most d. Each player is required to color an uncolored vertex legally on each move. The game ends when there are no remaining uncolored vertices. Alice wins the game if all vertices of the graph are legally colored, Bob wins if at a certain stage there exists an uncolored vertex without a legal color. The d-relaxed (a, b)-game chromatic number of G, denoted (a, b)-X-d(g)(G), is the least r for which Alice has a winning strategy in the (r. d)-relaxed (a, b)-coloring game. This paper extends the well-studied activation strategy of coloring games to relaxed asymmetric coloring games. The extended strategy is then applied to the (r, d)-relaxed (a, 1)-coloring games on planar graphs, partial k-trees and (s, t)-pseudo-partial k-trees. This paper shows that for planar graphs G, if a >= 2, then (a, 1)-X-g(d) (G) <= 6 for all d >= 77. If H is a partial k-tree, 1 <= a < k, then (a, 1)-X-g(d) (H) <= k + 1 for all d >= 2k + 2k-1/a. If H is an (s, t)-pseudo-partial k-tree, a >= 1, let phi(s, t, k, a) = (1 + 1/a)(k(2) + sk + tk + st + k + t + 1) + k + t, then (a, 1)-X-g(d)(H) <= K +1 for all d >= phi(s, t, k, a). For planar graphs G and a >= 1, (a, 1)-X-g(d) (G) <= 3 for all d >= 71 + 61/a. These results extend the corresponding (r, d)-relaxed (1, 1)-coloring game results to more generalized asymmetric cases.
