Exact values for the Grundy number of some graphs (1405.6432v1)

Abstract: The Grundy number of a graph G is the maximum number k of colors used to color the vertices of G such that the coloring is proper and every vertex x colored with color i, is adjacent to (i - 1) vertices colored with each color j, In this paper we give bounds for the Grundy number of some graphs and Cartesian products of graphs. In particular, we determine an exact value of this parameter for n-dimensional meshes and some n-dimensional toroidal meshes. Finally, we present an algorithm to generate all graphs for a given Grundy number
