Abstract:

The list coloring of a graph G = G(V,E) is to color each vertex v V (G) from its color set L(v). If any two adjacent vertices have different colors, then G is properly colored. The aim of this paper is to study the list coloring of some graph operations.



Keywords:

Coloring, list coloring, graph operation.
