In this paper we shall study the relationships between the following three families of assertions: C(n): If G is a graph that does not induce & or KS-e and w(G) 6 n. then x(G)rn+l. C'(n): If M is a multigraph such that A(M)< n, p(M)<2 and M does not contain a S-sided triangle (i.e., a triangle with

β¦ Synopsis
Lawrence [2, Theorem 3] and Borodin and Kostochka [1, Lemma 2' 1 both give the same theorem about vertex colorings of graphs (Corollary 1 below). But Lawrence's proof, although powerful, is a little long, and Borodin and Kostoehka state the result without a proof.

We prove the conjecture of Burris and Schelp: a coloring of the edges of a graph of order n such that a vertex is not incident with two edges of the same color and any two vertices are incident with different sets of colors is possible using at most n+1 colors. 1999 Academic Press ## 1. Introducti
Motivated by the work of NeΕ‘etΕil and R ΓΆdl on "Partitions of vertices" we are interested in obtaining some quantitative extensions of their result. In particular, given a natural number r and a graph G of order m with odd girth g, we show the existence of a graph H with odd girth at least g and ord
