It follows from the results of , Gyirfis and Lehel (1985), and Kostochka (1988) that 4 ~x*

where x* = max {X(G): G is a triangle-free circle graph}. We show that X* ? 5 and thus X* = 5. This disproves the conjecture of Karapetyan that X* = 4 and answers negatively a question of Gyirfis and Lehel.

We give a new example of a triangle-free =-chromatic graph: the vertices of G form a WX 00 matrix, V(G) = [S,j], i,. i = 1,2, . . . The vertex Ui,j is connected with every vertex of the (i + j)th column. G is triangle-free: if A has the smallest column-index among {A, B, C} c V(G) and AB, ACE E(G),
## Abstract In this article we give examples of a triangleโfree graph on 22 vertices with chromatic number 5 and a __K__~4~โfree graph on 11 vertices with chromatic number 5. We very briefly describe the computer searches demonstrating that these are the smallest possible such graphs. All 5โcritica
Let Kr~ be the complete graph on N vertices, and assume that each edge is assigned precisly one of three possible colors. An old and difficult problem is to find the minimum number of monochromatic triangles as a function of N. We are not able to solve this problem, but we can give sharp bounds for
## Abstract It was only recently shown by Shi and Wormald, using the differential equation method to analyze an appropriate algorithm, that a random 5โregular graph asymptotically almost surely has chromatic number at most 4. Here, we show that the chromatic number of a random 5โregular graph is as
