Abstract
A graph is chromatically unique if it is uniquely determined by its chromatic polynomial. Let G be a chromatically unique graph and let K~m~ denote the complete graph on m vertices. This paper is mainly concerned with the chromaticity of K~m~ + G where + denotes the join of graphs. Also, it is shown that a large family of connected vertextransitive graphs that are not chromatically unique can be obtained by taking the join of some vertexβtransitive graphs.

The least number of colors needed to color the vertices of a graph G such that the vertices in each color class induces a linear forest is called the path-chromatic number of G, denoted by Zoo (G). If all such colorings of the vertices of G induce the same partitioning of the vertices of G, we say
Let u,(G) denote the number of cycles of length k in a graph G. In this paper, we first prove that if G and H are X-equivalent graphs, then ak(G) = a,(H) for all k with g < k < $g -2, where g is the girth of G. This result will then be incorporated with a structural theorem obtained in [7] to show t
Xu, S., The chromatic uniqueness of complete bipartite graphs, Discrete Mathematics 94 (1991) 153-159. This paper is partitioned into two parts. In the first part we determine the maximum number of induced complete bipartite subgraphs in graphs with some given conditions. Using a theorem given in th
## 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
