β¦ Synopsis
Let P* denote the graph obtained by joining a new vertex to every vertex of a path on n vertices. Let Ui,j(n) denote the set of all connected graphs obtained from PfwP* by connecting the four vertices of degree 2 by two paths of lengths s( 1> 0) and t( ~> 1) such that s + t = n -i -j is a constant. Li and Whitehead Jr. conjecture that U3,4(n) forms a chromatic equivalence class by itself. In this note we prove the conjecture in the affirmative.

## 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__.
Du, Q., On o-polynomials and a class of chromatically unique graphs, Discrete Mathematics 115 (1993) 153-165. Let cr(G)=C:,,aicr '-' be the u-polynomial of a graph G. We ask the question: When k and a, are given, what is the largest possible value of ai(O < i < k) for any graph G? In this paper, thi
## Abstract In this paper, it is proven that for each __k__ β₯ 2, __m__ β₯ 2, the graph Ξ~__k__~(__m,β¦,m__), which consists of __k__ disjoint paths of length __m__ with same ends is chromatically unique, and that for each __m, n__, 2 β€ __m__ β€ __n__, the complete bipartite graph __K__~__m,n__~ is chr
We prove the chromatic uniqueness of the following infinite families of bipartite graphs: Km,,,+k, l~rt3K,,,,,,,+k, with m~>2 and 0~ 3, where K~,,, denote the graph obtained from K,,,n by deleting one edge. As a particular case we prove a conjecture made by C.Y. Chao in
