Let G be a graph, m > r t> 1 integers. Suppose that it has a good-coloring with m colors which uses at most r colors in the neighborhood of every vertex. We investigate these so-called local r-colorings. One of our results (Theorem 2.4) states: The chromatic number of G, Chr(G) ~< r2" log21og2 m (an
It is proved that there is a function f: N Q N such that the following holds. Let G be a graph embedded in a surface of Euler genus g with all faces of even size and with edge-width \ f(g). Then (i) If every contractible 4-cycle of G is facial and there is a face of size > 4, then G is 3-colorable.
## Abstract In this article we give examples of a triangle‐free graph on 22 vertices with chromatic number 5 and a __K__~4~‐free graph on 11 vertices with chromatic number 5. We very briefly describe the computer searches demonstrating that these are the smallest possible such graphs. All 5‐critica
