Abstract

If be a graph and edge coloring of G is a function , rainbow connection number is the minimum-k coloration of the rainbow on the edge of graph G and denoted by rc(G). Rainbow connection numbers can be applied to the result of operations on some special graphs, such as diamond graphs and fan graphs. Graph operation is a method used to obtain a new graph by combining two graphs. This study performed amalgamation operations to obtain rainbow connection numbers and rainbow-total-connection numbers in diamond graphs ( ) and fan graphs ( ) or . Based on the research, it is obtained that the rainbow-connection number theorem on the amalgamation result of the diamond graph ( ) and fan graph (  is  with . Furthermore, the theorem related to the total rainbow-connection number on the amalgamation result of the diamond graph( ) and the fan graph (  is obtained, namely  with .
