Abstract

Graph coloring is one of the most important concept in graph
theory. There are many types of coloring. We study on the local connective chromatic number of a graph G that is dened by us. In this paper, we determine the local connective chromatic number of the direct product of two paths Pm Pn, two cycles Cm Cn and for the direct product of a cycle and a path Cm Pn, where m and n are the number of vertices.
