ABSTRACT
An f-coloring of graph G(V,E) is a generalized edge-coloring such that every vertex Î½ in V has at most f(Î½) edges colored with a same color. There are many applications of the f-coloring, for instance we can use it in order to solve some scheduling problems and some network design problems. The minimum number of colors needed to f-color G is called an the f-chromatic index of G, denoted by Ï‡â€²f(G). Any graph G has f-chromatic index equal to Î”f(G) or Î”f(G)+1, where Î”f(G) = maxÎ½Æ¸V{[ceiling_left]d(Î½)/f(Î½)[ceiling_right]}. G is called in the class-1, denoted by G Æ¸ Cf 1, if Ï‡â€²f(G) = Î”f(G); otherwise G is called in the class-2, denoted by G Æ¸ Cf 2. In this paper, we show that the corona product of Cn with Sm is in Cf 1. Besides that, we characterize the corona product of Cn with either Wn or Kn based on f-coloring.
