## dedicated to professor w. t. tutte on the occasion of his eightieth birtday It is known that the chromatic number of a graph G=(V, E) with V= [1, 2, ..., n] exceeds k iff the graph polynomial f G => ij # E, i<j (x i &x j ) lies in certain ideals. We describe a short proof of this result, using

Abstract
The distance coloring number X~d~(G) of a graph G is the minimum number n such that every vertex of G can be assigned a natural number m ≤ n and no two vertices at distance i are both assigned i. It is proved that for any natural number n there exists a graph G with X~d~(G) = n.

A graph is (rn, k)-colorable if its vertices can be colored with rn colors in such a way that each vertex is adjacent to at most k vertices of the same color as itself. In a recent paper Cowen. Cowen, and Woodall proved that, for each compact surface S, there exists an integer k = k(S) such that eve
Using a technique developed by A. Nilli (1991, Discrete Math. 91, 207 210), we estimate from above the Cheeger number of a finite connected graph G of small degree (2(G) 5) admitting sufficiently distant edges. ## 2001 Academic Press Let G=(V(G), E(G)) be a finite connected graph. The Cheeger numb
