Abstract

An irregular coloring is a proper coloring in which distinct vertices have different color codes. In this paper, we obtain the irregular chromatic number for middle graph, total graph, central graph and line graph of wheel graph, helm graph, gear graph and closed helm graph.

Keywords

Irregular coloring, middle graph, total graph, central graph, line graph
