Rainbow connection of bridgeless outerplanar graphs with small diameters

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate rainbow connection number rc(G) of bridgeless outerplanar graphs G with diameter 2 or 3. We proved the following results: If G has diameter 2, then rc(G)=3 for fan graphs Fn with n≥ 7 or C5, otherwise rc(G)=2; if G has diameter 3, then rc(G)≤ 4 and the bound is sharp.
