It was proved by Hell and Zhu that, if G is a series-parallel graph of girth at least 2 (3k -1)/2 , then Ο c (G) β€ 4k/(2k -1). In this article, we prove that the girth requirement is sharp, i.e., for any k β₯ 2, there is a series-parallel graph G of girth 2 (3k -1)/2 -1 such that Ο c (G) > 4k/(2k -1)

In this article, we consider the circular chromatic number Ο c (G) of series-parallel graphs G. It is well known that series-parallel graphs have chromatic number at most 3. Hence, their circular chromatic numbers are at most 3. If a seriesparallel graph G contains a triangle, then both the chromati
## Abstract Suppose __G__ is a seriesβparallel graph. It was proved in 3 that either ~Ο__c__~(__G__)β=β3 or ~Ο__c__~(__G__)ββ€β8/3. So none of the rationals in the interval (8/3, 3) is the circular chromatic number of a seriesβparallel graph. This paper proves that for every rational __r__βββ[2, 8/3
Kostochka, A.V., List edge chromatic number of graphs with large girth, Discrete Mathematics 101 (1992) 189-201. It is shown that the list edge chromatic number of any graph with maximal degree A and girth at least 8A(ln A + 1.1) is equal to A + 1 or to A. Conjecture 1. The list edge chromatic numbe
## Abstract This article studies the circular chromatic number of a class of circular partitionable graphs. We prove that an infinite family of circular partitionable graphs __G__ has $\chi\_ c (G) = \chi(G)$. A consequence of this result is that we obtain an infinite family of graphs __G__ with th
