Abstract

Let G be a simple graph with no isolated edge. Let f be a total colouring of G which is not necessarily proper. f is said to be adjacent vertex distinguishing if for any pair of adjacent vertices u, v of G, we have C(u)≠C(v), where C(u) denotes the set of colours of u and its incident edges under f. The minimum number of colours required for an adjacent vertex distinguishing not necessarily proper total colouring of G is called the adjacent vertex distinguishing not necessarily proper total chromatic number. Seven kinds of adjacent vertex distinguishing not necessarily proper total colourings are introduced in this paper. Some results of adjacent vertex distinguishing not necessarily proper total chromatic numbers are obtained and some conjectures are also proposed.
