We present a new technique, inspired by zero-knowledge proof systems, for proving lower bounds on approximating the chromatic number of a graph. To illustrate this technique we present simple reductions from max-3-coloring and max-3-sat, showing that it is hard to approximate the chromatic number wi
It is proved that if every subcontraction of a graph G contains a vertex with degree at most k, then the chromatic polynomial of G is positive throughout the interval (k, c~); Kk+l shows that this interval is the largest possible. It is conjectured that the largest real zero of the chromatic polynom
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
Upper bounds for u + x and ax are proved, where u is the domination number and x the chromatic number of a graph.
