Coloring of graphs and hypergraphs (05C15)

Abstract: Let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be disjoint copies of a graph $G$, and let $g:V(G_1)ightarrowV(G_2)$ be a function. A functigraph $F_G$ consists of the vertex set $V(G_1)cupV(G_2)$ and the edge set $E(G_1)cupE(G_2)cupuv:g(u)=v$. In this paper, we extend the study of the distinguishing number of a graph to its functigraph. We discuss the behavior of the distinguishing number in passing from $G$ to $F_G$ and find its sharp lower and upper bounds. We also discuss the distinguishing number of functigraphs of complete graphs and join graphs.
