A v-colorful path is such a path starting from v. Let G C7 be a connected graph with maximum degree A G . We show that there exists a A G 1 -coloring of G with a v-colorful path for every v E V G . We also prove that this result is true if one replaces A G 1 colors with 2x G colors. If x G w G then the result still holds for x G colors. For every graph G we show that there exists a x G -coloring of G with a rainbow path of length _x G 2j starting from each v E V G . Keywords Vertex-coloring Colorful path Rainbow path 1 Introduction Throughout this paper all graphs are simple. Let G be a graph and V G be the vertex set of G. In a connected graph G for any two vertices u v E V G let dG u v denote the Corresponding author. S. Akbari THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 18 2011 P17 1 length of the shortest path between u and v in G. We denote the DFS tree in G rooted at v by T G v which is defined in 2 p.139 . For every u G V G each vertex on the path between u and v in T G v is called an ancestor of u. By Theorem 6.6 of 2 in every DFS tree if w and w are adjacent then one of them is ancestor of another. In a graph G a k-coloring of G is a function c V G 0 . k 1 such that c u c v for every adjacent vertices u v G V G . The chromatic number of G denoted by x G is the smallest k for which G has a k-coloring. For .
