Lemma

Let \(\operatorname{adm}_r\), \(\operatorname{scol}_r\), and \(\operatorname{wcol}_r\) be as in Definition ColoringNumbers.

For every \(r \in \mathbb{N}\), graph \(G\), and vertex ordering \(\sigma\): \[\operatorname{adm}_r(G, \sigma) \leq \operatorname{scol}_r(G, \sigma) \leq \operatorname{wcol}_r(G, \sigma).\]

Furthermore: \[\operatorname{wcol}_r(G, \sigma) \leq 1 + r(\operatorname{scol}_r(G, \sigma) - 1)^r.\]

Review notes

This entry bundles two results: Proposition 2.4 (the trivial ordering \(\operatorname{adm}_r \leq \operatorname{scol}_r \leq \operatorname{wcol}_r\)) and Lemma 2.6 (the reverse bound \(\operatorname{wcol}_r \leq 1 + r(\operatorname{scol}_r - 1)^r\)). Together with Lemma StrongColoringBoundByAdm (Lemma 2.5), they give the full polynomial equivalence of Corollary 2.7.

The signature argument in Lemma 2.6 encodes each weakly reachable vertex as a sequence of indices into the strongly reachable sets along the milestone chain. Injectivity of the encoding gives the counting bound.

Lean encoding.

The contract states three per-ordering axioms using the definitions from Definition ColoringNumbers (which depend on LinearOrder V). No graph-level versions are stated; the per-ordering form is strictly stronger. Subtraction in \(1 + r(k-1)^r\) uses natural number arithmetic; since \(\operatorname{scol}_r \geq 1\) always, no underflow occurs.
