## Abstract The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph given by Zhikang Lu and by C. McDiarmid and Luo Xinhua, independently (__Journal of Graph Theory__, 1991, pp. 345–347 and 629–636) and the lower bound given by D. G. Beane, N. L. Biggs, and B. J. Wilson (__Journal of Graph T
## Abstract After giving a new proof of a well‐known theorem of Dirac on critical graphs, we discuss the elegant upper bounds of Matula and Szekeres‐Wilf which follow from it. In order to improve these bounds, we consider the following fundamental coloring problem: given an edge‐cut (__V__~1~, __V_
Let G be a simple graph with n vertices, e edges and vertex degrees &, d2 ..... d~. It is proved that d2+ ... +d~<~e(2e/(n-1)+ n-2) when n~>2. This bound does not generalize to all sequences of positive integers. A comparison is made to another upper bound on d 2 +. • -+ d 2, due to Sz6kely et al. (
