We investigate the relation between the multichromatic number (discussed by Stahl and by Hilton, Rado and Scott) and the star chromatic number (introduced by Vince) of a graph. Denoting these by Ο \* and Ξ· \* , the work of the above authors shows that Ο \* (G) = Ξ· \* (G) if G is bipartite, an odd cy

Abstract
The vertex set of the reduced Kneser graph KG~2~(m,2) consists of all pairs {a,b} such that __a, b__Ξ΅{1,2,β¦,m} and 2β€|aβb|β€mβ2. Two vertices are defined to be adjacent if they are disjoint. We prove that, if mβ₯4 and mβ 5, then the circular chromatic number of KG~2~(m,2) is equal to mβ2, its ordinary chromatic number. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 41: 62β68, 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 This article studies the circular chromatic number of a class of circular partitionable graphs. We prove that an infinite family of circular partitionable graphs __G__ has $\chi\_ c (G) = \chi(G)$. A consequence of this result is that we obtain an infinite family of graphs __G__ with th
The concept of the star chromatic number of a graph was introduced by Vince (A. Vince, Star chromatic number, J. Graph Theory 12 (1988), 551--559), which is a natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. This paper calculates the star chromatic numbers of three infinite families of pla
In this article, we consider the circular chromatic number Ο c (G) of series-parallel graphs G. It is well known that series-parallel graphs have chromatic number at most 3. Hence, their circular chromatic numbers are at most 3. If a seriesparallel graph G contains a triangle, then both the chromati
