Abstract:Barvanje vozlišč grafa ▫$G$▫ je neponavljajoče, če nobena pot v ▫$G$▫ ne tvori zaporedja sestavljenega iz dveh identičnih blokov. Najmanjše število barv, ki jih potrebujemo za tako barvanje, je Thuejevo kromatično število, označimo ga s ▫$pi(G)$▫. Slavni Thuejev izrek trdi, da je ▫$pi(P) = 3$▫ za vsako pot ▫$P$▫ z vsaj štirimi vozlišči. V članku študiramo Thuejevo kromatično število na drevesih. Glede na to,da je v tem razredu ▫$pi(T)$▫ omejeno s 4, je naš namen opisati 4-kromatična drevesa. V posebnem obravnavamo 4-kritična drevesa, ki so minimalna glede na to lastnost. Čeprav obstaja mnogo dreves ▫$T$▫ s ▫$pi(T) = 4$▫, pokažemo, da ima vsako od njih primerno veliko subdivizijo ▫$H$▫, tako da je ▫$pi(H)=3$▫. Dokaz se opira na Thuejeva zaporedja z dodatnimi lastnostmi, ki vključujejo palindromske besede. Obravnavamo tudi neponavljajoča barvanja povezav na drevesih. S podobnimi argumenti dokažemo, da ima vsako drevo subdivizijo, ki jo lahko po povezavah pobarvamo z največ ▫$Delta +1$▫ barvami brez ponavljanja na poteh.

Title:Neponavljajoča barvanja dreves
Abstract:A coloring of the vertices of a graph ▫$G$▫ is nonrepetitive if no path in ▫$G$▫ forms a sequence consisting of two identical blocks. The minimum number of colors needed is the Thue chromatic number, denoted by ▫$pi(G)$▫. A famous theorem of Thue asserts that ▫$pi(P)=3▫$ for any path ▫$P$▫ with at least four vertices. In this paper we study the Thue chromatic number of trees. In view of the fact that ▫$pi(T)$▫ is bounded by 4 in this class we aim to describe the 4-chromatic trees. In particular, we study the 4-critical trees which are minimal with respect to this property. Though there are many trees ▫$T$▫ with ▫$pi(T)=4$▫ we show that any of them has a sufficiently large subdivision ▫$H$▫ such that ▫$pi(H)=3▫$. The proof relies on Thue sequences with additional properties involving palindromic words. We also investigate nonrepetitive edge colorings of trees. By a similar argument we prove that any tree has a subdivision which can be edge-colored by at most ▫$Delta + 1▫$ colors without repetitions on paths.
