A note on sequences variant of irregularity strength for hypercubes (2406.03612v1)
Published 5 Jun 2024 in math.CO
Abstract: Let $f: E \mapsto {1,2,\dots,k}$ be an edge coloring of the $n$ - dimensional hypercube $H_n$. By the palette at a vertex $v$ we mean the sequence $\left(f(e_1(v)), f(e_1(v)),\dots, f(e_n(v))\right)$, where $e_i(v)$ is the $i$ - dimensional edge incident to $v$. In the paper, we show that two colors are enough to distinguish all vertices of the $n$ - dimensional hypercube $H_n$ ($n \geq 2$) by their palettes. We also show that if $f$ is a proper edge coloring of the hypercube $H_n$ ($n\geq 5$), then $n$ colors suffice to distinguish all vertices by their palettes.
