The independence number of the strong product C5~]C7[]C7 determined by the NISPOC software package is presented. Better lower bounds on the independence numbers for two infinite families of strong products of three odd cycles are given.

We prove that the chromatic Ramsey number of every odd wheel W 2k+1 , k ≥ 2 is 14. That is, for every odd wheel W 2k+1 , there exists a 14-chromatic graph F such that when the edges of F are two-coloured, there is a monochromatic copy of W 2k+1 in F, and no graph F with chromatic number 13 has the s
Graph bundles generalize the notion of covering graphs and products of graphs. The chromatic numbers of product bundles with respect to the Cartesian, strong and tensor product whose base and fiber are cycles are determined. ## 1. Introduction If G is a graph, V(G) and E(G) denote its vertex and e
## Abstract Let __G__ be a non‐bipartite graph with ℓ as the length of the longest odd cycle. Erdös and Hajnal proved that χ(__G__) ≤ ℓ + 1. We show that the only graphs for which this is tight are those that contain __K__~ℓ~ + 1 and further, if __G__ does not contain __K__~ℓ~ then χ(__G__) ≤ ℓ −1.
We describe algorithms to search independent vertex sets in strong products of odd cycles. The algorithms enable determination of the independence number of two infinite families of graphs: C5 [] C7 [] C2k+i and C5 [] C9 [] C2k+i. We also present exact values or improved bounds on the size of a larg
