Abstract:

The neighbor sum distinguishing 2-total coloring of a tree is presented along with the independence of the minimum decycling set of a 3-regular graph and the acyclicity of the corresponding decycling subgraphs. This method provides a simple way to prove that the neighbor sum distinguishing total chromatic number of a 3-regular graph satisfies the 1-2 Conjecture. The independent decycling set method is used to determine the neighbor sum distinguishing total chromatic number of an r-regular graph, Halin graph, and Cartesian product graph of paths.

Key words: non-proper total coloring, decycling set, neighbor sum distinguishing total coloring, 1-2 Conjecture
