## Abstract A proper coloring of the vertices of a graph is called a __star coloring__ if the union of every two color classes induces a star forest. The star chromatic number Ο~__s__~(__G__) is the smallest number of colors required to obtain a star coloring of __G__. In this paper, we study the r
It is shown that the chromatic number of any graph with maximum degree d in which the number of edges in the induced subgraph on the set of all neighbors of any vertex does not exceed d 2 Γf is at most O(dΓlog f ). This is tight (up to a constant factor) for all admissible values of d and f.
