| A vertex subset $S$ of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is irredundant if every vertex in $S$ has a private neighbor with respect to $S$. An irredundant set $S$ of $G$ is maximal if, for any $v \in V - S$, the set $S \cup \{v\}$ is no longer irredundant. The lower irredundance number of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a maximal irredundant set of $G$ and is denoted by $ir(G)$. A coloring $\mathcal{C}$ of $G$ is said to be the irredundance coloring if there exists a maximal irredundant set $R$ of $G$ such that all the vertices of $R$ receive different colors. The minimum number of colors required for an irredundance coloring of $G$ is called the irredundance chromatic number of $G$, and is denoted by $\chi_{i}(G)$. A coloring $\mathcal{C}$ of $G$ is said to be the gamma coloring if there exists a dominating set $D$ of $G$ such that all the vertices of $D$ receive different colors. The minimum number of colors required for a gamma coloring of $G$ is called the gamma chromatic number of $G$, and is denoted by $\chi_{\gamma}(G)$. In this paper, we prove that every tree $T$ satisfies $\chi_{i}(T) = ir(T)$ unless $T$ is a star. Further, we prove that $\gamma(T) \leq \chi_{\gamma}(T) \leq \gamma(T) + 1$. We characterize all trees satisfying the upper bound. | ||
