## Abstract If a graph __G__ has no induced subgraph isomorphic to __K__~1,3β²~ __K__~5~β__e__, or a third graph that can be selected from two specific graphs, then the chromatic number of __G__ is either __d__ or __d__ + 1, where __d__ is the maximum order of a clique in __G__.

## Abstract The cyclic chromatic number of a plane graph __G__ is the smallest number Ο~__c__~(__G__) of colors that can be assigned to vertices of __G__ in such a way that whenever two distinct vertices are incident with a common face, they receive distinct colors. It was conjectured by Plummer an
Let \(G\) be a 3-connected \(K_{1, d}\)-free graph on \(n\) vertices. We show that \(G\) contains a 3-connected spanning subgraph of maximum degree at most \(2 d-1\). Using an earlier result of ours, we deduce that \(G\) contains a cycle of length at least \(\frac{1}{2} n^{c}\) where \(c=\left(\log
We show that an n-vertex bipartite K 3,3 -free graph with n 3 has at most 2n -4 edges and that an n-vertex bipartite K 5 -free graph with n 5 has at most 3n -9 edges. These bounds are also tight. We then use the bound on the number of edges in a K 3,3 -free graph to extend two known NC algorithms fo
We prove the following conjecture of Broersma and Veldman: A connected, locally k-connected K,,-free graph is k-hamiltonian if and only if it is (k + 2)-connected ( k L 1). We use [ 11 for basic terminology and notation, and consider simple graphs only. Let G be a graph. By V(G) and E(G) we denote,
We prove the conjecture of Gould and Jacobson that a connected S(K1,J free graph has a vertex pancyclic square. Since .S(K1,J is not vertex pancyclic, this result is best possible. ## Our notation generally follows that used in [l] . A graph G is Hamilroniun if it contains a cycle through all its
