On Certain Colouring Parameters of Mycielski Graphs of Some Graphs

Abstract

Colouring the vertices of a graph $G$ according to certain conditions can be considered as a random experiment and a discrete random variable $X$ can be defined as the number of vertices having a particular colour in the proper colouring of $G$. The concepts of mean and variance, two important statistical measures, have also been introduced to the theory of graph colouring and determined the values of these parameters for a number of standard graphs. In this paper, we discuss the colouring parameters of the Mycielskian of certain standard graphs.
