## Abstract Meyniel conjectured that the cop number __c__(__G__) of any connected graph __G__ on __n__ vertices is at most for some constant __C__. In this article, we prove Meyniel's conjecture in special cases that __G__ has diameter 2 or __G__ is a bipartite graph of diameter 3. For general con

## Abstract A Short proof is given of the theorem that every grph that does not have __K__~4~ as a subcontraction is properly vertex 3βcolorable.
A digraph D is said to be an R-digraph (kernel-perfect graph) if all of its induced subdigraphs possesses a kernel (independent dominating subset). I show in this work that a digraph D, without directed triangles all of whose odd directed cycles C = (1, 2,..., 2n + 1, 1), possesses two short chords
## Abstract A kernel of a directed graph is a set of vertices __K__ that is both absorbant and independent (i.e., every vertex not in __K__ is the origin of an arc whose extremity is in __K__, and no arc of the graph has both endpoints in __K__). In 1983, Meyniel conjectured that any perfect graph,
