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

## Abstract One of the basic results in graph colouring is Brooks' theorem [R. L. Brooks, Proc Cambridge Phil Soc 37 (1941) 194β197], which asserts that the chromatic number of every connected graph, that is not a complete graph or an odd cycle, does not exceed its maximum degree. As an extension o
A graph G with maximum degree and edge chromatic number (G)> is edge--critical if (G -e) = for every edge e of G. It is proved here that the vertex independence number of an edge--critical graph of order n is less than 3 5 n. For large , this improves on the best bound previously known, which was ro
