Abstract

A proper vertex coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is called a star coloring if every two color classes induce a forest whose each component is a star, which means there is no bicolored [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we show that the Cartesian product of any two cycles, except [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], has a [Formula: see text]-star coloring.
