Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compute the b-chromatic number of central graph of star graph and Multi star Graphs and . More Specifically, for any star graph for any double star graph and for the triple star graph, . Also find out the b-chromatic number of central graph of Fire cracker graph and Banana tree graph.
