A graph G with maximum degree and edge chromatic number (G)> is edge--critical if (G -e) = for every edge e of G. It is proved here that the vertex independence number of an edge--critical graph of order n is less than 3 5 n. For large , this improves on the best bound previously known, which was ro

In 1968, Vizing conjectured that if G is a -critical graph with n vertices, then (G) ≤ n / 2, where (G) is the independence number of G. In this paper, we apply Vizing and Vizing-like adjacency lemmas to this problem and prove that (G)<(((5 -6)n) / (8 -6))<5n / 8 if ≥ 6. ᭧ 2010 Wiley

## Abstract After giving a new proof of a well‐known theorem of Dirac on critical graphs, we discuss the elegant upper bounds of Matula and Szekeres‐Wilf which follow from it. In order to improve these bounds, we consider the following fundamental coloring problem: given an edge‐cut (__V__~1~, __V_

We show that if the adjacency matrix of a graph X has 2-rank 2r, then the chromatic number of X is at most 2 r +1, and that this bound is tight. 2001
