- Abstract
A total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to all the elements (vertices and edges) of the graph in such a way that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The Total Chromatic Number, χ ″ (G) is the minimum number of colors which need to be assigned to obtain a total coloring of the graph G. The Total Coloring Conjecture made independently by Behzad and Vizing claims that, Δ (G) + 1 ≤ χ ″ (G) ≤ Δ (G) + 2 , where Δ (G) represents the maximum degree of G. The lower bound is sharp, the upper bound remains to be proved. In this paper, we prove the Total Coloring Conjecture for certain classes of lexicographic product and deleted lexicographic product of graphs.
