The acyclic orientations of a graph are related to its chromatic polynomial, to its reliability, and to certain hyperplane arrangements. In this paper, an algorithm for listing the acyclic orientations of a graph is presented. The algorithm is shown to ลฝ . require O n time per acyclic orientation ge

The oriented chromatic number ฯ o ( G) of an oriented graph G = (V, A) is the minimum number of vertices in an oriented graph H for which there exists a homomorphism of G to H. The oriented chromatic number ฯ o (G) of an undirected graph G is the maximum of the oriented chromatic numbers of all the
In this paper some further properties of the coefficients of a chromatic generating function introduced by Linial are proved. A combinatorial interpretation of these numbers is given by specializing some results of Stanley on posets to surjective n-colorings of a graph G of order n compatible with l
Suppose G =(V, E) is a graph and K, K', K" are subsets of V such that K sK'nK". We introduce and study a polynomial P(G, K, K', K"; I.) in i. This polynomial coincides with the classical chromatic polynomial P(G; 1) when K = V. The results of this paper generalize Whitney's characterizations of the
