Abstract

An edge coloring of the n-vertex complete graph K-n is a Gallai coloring if it does not contain any rainbow triangle, that is, a triangle whose edges are colored with three distinct colors. We prove that the number of Gallai colorings of K-n with at most three colors is at most 7(n + 1)2((n2)), which improves the best known upper bound of 3/2(n - 1)! . 2((n-12)) in Benevides et al.
