Abstract

Let $G$ be a simple, connected, undirected, and finite graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. For a positive integer $r$, a proper $k$-colouring of $G$ is called an $r$-hued colouring if, for each vertex $z \in V(G), \quad|f(N(z))| \geq \min \{r, d(z)\}$, where $N(z)$ denotes the neighbourhood of $z$ and $d(z)$ is the degree of $z$. The minimum $k$ that allows an $r$-hued colouring of $G$ with $k$ colours is referred to as the $r$-hued chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\chi_r(G)$. In this paper, we determine the $r$-hued chromatic number for several graph classes: the $n$-crossed prism graph $R_n$, the line graph of $R_n$, denoted $L\left(R_n\right)$, the prism graph $C L_n$, and the antiprism graph $Q_n$.
