Abstract
The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph given by Zhikang Lu and by C. McDiarmid and Luo Xinhua, independently (Journal of Graph Theory, 1991, pp. 345β347 and 629β636) and the lower bound given by D. G. Beane, N. L. Biggs, and B. J. Wilson (Journal of Graph Theory, 1989, pp. 291β298) are improved.

## Abstract The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph that has been given by SinβMin Lee and John Mitchem is improved.
## Abstract After giving a new proof of a wellβknown theorem of Dirac on critical graphs, we discuss the elegant upper bounds of Matula and SzekeresβWilf which follow from it. In order to improve these bounds, we consider the following fundamental coloring problem: given an edgeβcut (__V__~1~, __V_
A harmonious coloring of a simple graph G is a proper vertex coloring such that each pair of colors appears together on at most one edge. The harmonious chromatic number h(G) is the least number of colors in such a coloring. We obtain a new upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of general
## Abstract In this article we first give an upper bound for the chromatic number of a graph in terms of its degrees. This bound generalizes and modifies the bound given in 11. Next, we obtain an upper bound of the order of magnitude ${\cal O}({n}^{{1}-\epsilon})$ for the coloring number of a graph
