In a unique-maximum coloring, the colors are ordered, and in every hyperedge of the hypergraph the maximum color appears only once. In a conflict-free coloring, in every hyperedge of the hypergraph there is a color that appears only once. We define corresponding unique-maximum and conflict-free chromatic numbers and investigate their relationship in arbitrary hypergraphs. Then, we concentrate on hypergraphs that are induced by simple paths in tree graphs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-06-10T08:13:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tree graphs", "conflict-free coloring", "maximum color appears", "conflict-free chromatic numbers", "relationship" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1002.4210C" } } }
