Rainbow Vertex Connection Number of the Line Graph and the Middle Graph of the Comb Operation on the Star Graph C3 and the Star Graph Sn
Abstract
This study aims to determine the rainbow vertex connection number of the line graph and the middle graph obtained from the comb operation between the cycle graph and the star graph , where . This research is a theoretical study using a literature-based approach through the analysis of graph theory concepts, comb operation, line graph, middle graph, and rainbow vertex coloring. The determination of the rainbow vertex connection number was carried out by analyzing the graph structure, determining the graph diameter, constructing a vertex-coloring function, and verifying the existence of rainbow vertex paths for each pair of vertices. The results show that the rainbow vertex connection number of the line graph is . Meanwhile, for the middle graph , it is obtained that . These results indicate that transforming the graph obtained from the comb operation into its line graph and middle graph produces different coloring requirements. The findings contribute to the development of rainbow coloring studies, particularly on graphs resulting from graph operations and graph transformations.
