Apr 5, 2014 at 19:15 comment added Brendan McKay Your second question is a simple task for Burnside's Lemma. For each symmetry, count the $(k_1,k_2)$ colourings that respect it. Sum over all symmetries and divide by the number of symmetries.

Mar 5, 2014 at 0:53 comment added The Masked Avenger Ok. It is unclear what are the parameters. Do you want a function of A B and C, or are the k's also given as input? Please edit the question to clarify.
Mar 5, 2014 at 0:39 comment added Mfms @TheMaskedAvenger Terrific comments - I'm hoping an exact counting solution is possible though, at least for a class of cases, and I'm working on that.
Mar 5, 2014 at 0:34 comment added The Masked Avenger If the k's are fixed in advance, the number changes, but again starting with a partial checkerboard coloring, one arrives at a stamp or coin problem which has been studied. Similarly, most colorings with fixed k are assymetrical, so dividing by 8 or by 16 gets you in the ballpark.
Mar 5, 2014 at 0:29 comment added The Masked Avenger Note that the above remarks extend to general bipartite graphs, although the v-4 term may need tweaking.
Mar 5, 2014 at 0:24 comment added The Masked Avenger I believe the number of impossible pairs of s's is less than d^2, for d the maximal degree of the graph, which should be 6. Indeed, using an incremental checkerboard coloring allows us to add 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 edges to one of the totals, giving us something similar to a numerical semigroup of possibilities. Other colorings may take us to O(d) exceptions. As for distinct colorings, most are asymmetric, so there are about 2^(v-4) distinct colorings up to symmetry on the v many vertices.
