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 for n large and every k with k <= 2(n/)(4300), the number of Gallai colorings of K-n that use at most k given colors is (((k)(2)) + o(n) (1)) 2((2n)). Our result is asymptotically best possible and implies that, for those k, almost all Gallai k-colorings use only two colors. However, this is not true for k >= 2(n/2). (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc.
