The harmonious chromatic number and the achromatic number

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    The harmonious chromatic number of a graph is the least number of colours in a vertex colouring such that each pair of colours appears on at most one edge. The achromatic number of a graph is the greatest number of colours in a vertex colouring such that each pair of colours appears on at least one edge. This paper is a survey of what is known about these two parameters, in particular we look at upper and lower bounds, special classes of graphs and complexity issues.
