Given positive integers m, k, s with m > sk, let D m,k,s represent the set {1, 2, . . . , m}\{k, 2k, . . . , sk}. The distance graph G(Z , D m,k,s ) has as vertex set all integers Z and edges connecting i and j whenever |i -j| β D m,k,s . This paper investigates chromatic numbers and circular chroma

Abstract
Suppose D is a subset of R^+^. The distance graph G(R, D) is the graph with vertex set R in which two vertices x,y are adjacent if |xβy| β D. This study investigates the circular chromatic number and the fractional chromatic number of distance graphs G(R,D) with |D| = 3. As a consequence, we determine the chromatic numbers of all such distance graphs. This settles a conjecture proposed independently by Chen et al. [J. Chen, G. Chang, and K. Huang, J Graph Theory 25 (1997) 281β287 and Voigt [M. Voigt Ars Combinatoria, 52 (1999) 3β12] in the affirmative. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 41: 195β207, 2002

This paper studies circular chromatic numbers and fractional chromatic numbers of distance graphs G(Z , D) for various distance sets D. In particular, we determine these numbers for those D sets of size two, for some special D sets of size three, for
## Abstract An Erratum has been published for this article in Journal of Graph Theory 48: 329β330, 2005. Let __M__ be a set of positive integers. The distance graph generated by __M__, denoted by __G__(__Z, M__), has the set __Z__ of all integers as the vertex set, and edges __ij__ whenever |__i__

It was proved by Hell and Zhu that, if G is a series-parallel graph of girth at least 2 (3k -1)/2 , then Ο c (G) β€ 4k/(2k -1). In this article, we prove that the girth requirement is sharp, i.e., for any k β₯ 2, there is a series-parallel graph G of girth 2 (3k -1)/2 -1 such that Ο c (G) > 4k/(2k -1)
