## Abstract Let ${\cal F}\_{{2}{k},{k}^{2}}$ consist of all simple graphs on 2__k__ vertices and ${k}^{2}$ edges. For a simple graph __G__ and a positive integer $\lambda$, let ${P}\_{G}(\lambda)$ denote the number of proper vertex colorings of __G__ in at most $\lambda$ colors, and let $f(2k, k^{2

Abstract
A Ξ»βcoloring of a graph G is an assignment of Ξ» or fewer colors to the points of G so that no two adjacent points have the same color. Let Ξ© (n,e) be the collection of all connected nβpoint and eβedge graphs and let Ξ©p(n,e) be the planar graphs of Ξ©(n, e). This paper characterizes the graphs that minimize the number of Ξ»βcolorings in Ξ©(n, e) for all Ξ» > 1 and Ξ©p(n,e) for all Ξ».4. Β© 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A (k, 1)-coloring of a graph is a vertex-coloring with k colors such that each vertex is permitted at most 1 neighbor of the same color. We show that every planar graph has at least c n distinct (4, 1)-colorings, where c is constant and β 1.466 satisfies 3 = 2 +1. On the other hand for any >0, we gi
