## Abstract It was only recently shown by Shi and Wormald, using the differential equation method to analyze an appropriate algorithm, that a random 5‐regular graph asymptotically almost surely has chromatic number at most 4. Here, we show that the chromatic number of a random 5‐regular graph is as

## Abstract The __r__‐acyclic edge chromatic number of a graph is defined to be the minimum number of colors required to produce an edge coloring of the graph such that adjacent edges receive different colors and every cycle __C__ has at least min(|__C__|, __r__) colors. We show that (__r__ − 2)__d
We show that a regular graph G of order at least 6 whose complement c is bipartite has total chromatic number d(G) + 1 if and only if (i) G is not a complete graph, and (ii) G#K when n is even. As an aid in"';he proof of this, we also show that , for n>4, if the edges of a Hamiltonian path of Kzn a
The mean chromatic number of a graph is a measure of the expected performance of the greedy vertex-colouring algorithm when each ordering of the vertices is equally likely. Some results on the value of the mean chromatic number and its asymptotic behaviour are presented.
Colorings of disk graphs arise in the study of the frequency-assignment problem in broadcast networks. Motivated by the observations that the chromatic number of graphs modeling real networks hardly exceeds their clique number, we examine the related properties of the unit disk (UD) graphs and their
