This study explores graph coloring, specifically the rainbow connection number and total rainbow connection number for directed graphs. It investigates these concepts for the biorientation of connected graphs, determining the minimum colors needed for unique path and vertex coloring.
Area of Science:
- Graph Theory
- Discrete Mathematics
- Network Science
Background:
- Rainbow connectivity requires distinct arc colors for all paths between any two vertices.
- The rainbow connection number is the minimum colors for rainbow connectivity.
- Total coloring involves unique colors for both arcs and internal vertices.
Purpose of the Study:
- Investigate the rainbow connection number of graph biorientations.
- Determine the total rainbow connection number for these structures.
Main Methods:

We use the laws of geometry to construct resultant vectors, followed by trigonometry to find vector magnitudes and directions. For a geometric construction of the sum of two vectors in a plane, we follow the parallelogram rule. Suppose two vectors are at arbitrary positions. Translate either one of...
