Graphs of (un)bounded color valence

95 Views Asked by At

Talking about colored graphs there is a definition given for graphs with bounded color valence. This definition is as follows:

A vertex-colored graph $G=(V,E)$ has bounded color valence, if there is a constant $D$, such that for every color class $C$ every vertex $v$ (possibly in $C$) has at most $D$ neighbors or at most $D$ non-neighbors in $C$.

It's hard for me understanding this definition. I can't think of an example for a graph that doesn't have bounded color valence, as e.g. one can assign a different color for every vertex.
