Abstract: The notion of Star coloring and Acyclic coloring of graphs are discussed below. We give the Case i : For n = 4, Algorithm is as follows exact value of the Star chromatic number and Acyclic Label the vertices with 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively in chromatic number of different 3- Regular graphs clock wise direction.[18] including H-Graph. In this case The Star and Acyclic chromatic Number is χs 1. Introduction (G) = χa(G) = 4[16]

In this section we gave the basic definitions on Star Case ii : and Acyclic coloring of graphs. In , a Star Coloring of a graph G is Algorithm for the 3-Regular graph with n ≥ 6 is as a proper vertex coloring in which every path of four follows.[12] vertices uses atleast three distinct colors, i.e.[13] any path Label the vertices as 1,2,3 and 4 accordingly. of length 3 in G is not bi-colored.[14] Equivalently, in a f( v ) = 1, f(v ) = 2, f(v ) = 3,…….., f(v ) = 4. star coloring, the induced sub graphs formed by the 1 2 3 n In this case also Star and Acyclic Chromatic vertices of any two colors have connected components Number is χ (G) = χ (G) = 4[19] that are Star graphs. Star coloring has been introduced by s a

G [1,2] AnH-Graph H (r)with ‘6r’ vertices and ‘9r’ edges admits In , an Acyclic Coloring is a proper Star and Acyclic colorings and the Chromatic number is vertex coloring in which every 2-Chromatic sub graph of same for both the [10]colorings. That is χ (G) = χ (G) = G is acyclic, i.e. no cycle in G is bi-colored. The Acyclic s a 3. Chromatic Number χ (G) of a graph G is the least number a of colors needed[15] in any acyclic coloring of G. Proof: Acyclic edge coloring of a graph is the acyclic vertex Algorithm: (Star and Acyclic coloring of some 3- coloring of its line graph. regular Graphs) [21]
