## Abstract Let __G__ be connected simple graph with diameter __d__(__G__). __G__ is said __v__^+^‐critical if __d__(__G__−__v__) is greater than __d__(__G__) for every vertex __v__ of __G__. Let D′ = max {__d__(__G__−__v__) : __v__ ∈ __V__(__G__)}. Boals et al. [Congressus Numerantium 72 (1990), 1

✦ Synopsis
For k 3 0, pk(G) den ot e s the Lick-White vertex partition number of G. A graph G is called (n, k)-critical 'f 't I I is connected and for each edge e of G Pk (G -e) < pk (G) = n. We describe all (2, k&critical graphs and for n 23, k 2 1 we extend and simplify a result of Bollobas and Harary giving one construction of a family of (n, k&critical graphs of every possible order.

A colouring of the vertices of a hypergraph G is called strong if, for every edge A, the colours of all vertices in A are distinct. It corresponds to a colouring of the generated graph (G) obtained from G by replacing every edge by a clique. We estimate the minimum number of edges possible in a k-cr
In 1973, Kronk and Mitchem (Discrete Math. (5) 255-260) conjectured that the vertices, edges and faces of each plane graph G may be colored with D(G) + 4 colors, where D(G) is the maximum degree of G, so that any two adjacent or incident elements receive distinct colors. They succeeded in verifying
