An edge-colored connected graph is properly connected if between every pair of distinct vertices, there exists a path such that no two adjacent edges have the same color. Fujita (2019) introduced the optimal proper connection number pcopt(G) for a monochromatic connected graph , to make a connected graph properly connected efficiently. More precisely, pcopt () is the smallest integer when one converts a given monochromatic graph into a properly connected graph by recoloring edges with colors. In this paper, we show that pcopt () has an upper bound in terms of the independence number . Namely, we prove that for a connected graph , pcopt (). Moreover, for the case , we improve the upper bound to 4, which is tight.

给定独立数的图的最优合适连接数
边色连通图 如果在每对不同的顶点之间,存在一条路径,使得没有两条相邻的边具有相同的颜色,则正确连接。Fujita (2019) 介绍了单色连通图的最佳适当连接数pc opt (G),使连通图有效地正确连接。更准确地说,pc opt () 是最小的整数 当转换给定的单色图时 通过重新着色成正确连接的图形 边与 颜色。在本文中,我们展示了 pc opt () 在独立数方面有一个上限 . 即,我们证明对于连通图, 电脑选择 (). 此外,对于这种情况,我们将上限提高到 4,这是紧的。
