## Abstract We determine the minimum number of edges in a regular connected graph on __n__ vertices, containing a complete subgraph of order __k__ ≤ __n__/2. This enables us to confirm and strengthen a conjecture of P. Erdös on the existence of regular graphs with prescribed chromatic number.

For each pair k, rn of natural numbers there exists a natural number f(k, rn) such that every f ( k , m)-chromatic graph contains a k-connected subgraph of chromatic number at least rn.
Let P(G) denote the chromatic polynomial of a graph G. Two graphs G and H are chromatically equivalent, written G-H, if P( G) = P( H). A graph G is chromatically unique if G z H for any graph H such that H-G. Let J? denote the class of 2-connected graphs with n vertices and n+3 edges which contain a
## Abstract This paper is mainly concerned with classes of simple graphs with exactly __c__ connected components, __n__ vertices and __m__ edges, for fixed __c,n,m__ ∈ ℕ. We find an optimal lower bound for the __i__th coefficient of the chromatic polynomial of a graph in such a class and also an op
