Abstract

The rainbow connection number of a graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G so that any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges all have different colors. Similarly we define the strong rainbow connection number of G, denoted by src(G), by replacing "path" with "geodesic". n this paper, we study the rc and src of a very specific construction known as splitting. For any graph H and any m ∈ N, its m-splitting is a new graph denoted by Splm (G) constructed as follows. Suppose V(H) = {h1, ..., hn}. Then for each hi we introduce m new vertices νi1,...,νim and we join each new vertex νij to all neighbors of the original vertex hi in H. In this paper we determine the rc and src of Splm (P3) for all m ∈ N, where P3 is the 3-path, i.e. path with three vertices.
