Abstract

The circular chromatic number is a refinement of the chromatic number of a graph. It has been established in [3,6,7] that there exists planar graphs with circular chromatic number r if and only if r is a rational in the set {1} ∪ [2,4]. Recently, Mohar, in [1,2] has extended the concept of the circular chromatic number to digraphs and it is interesting to ask what the corresponding result is for digraphs. In this article, we shall prove the new result that there exist planar digraphs with circular chromatic number r if and only if r is a rational in the interval [1,4]. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We introduce the circular chromatic number χ~__c__~ of a digraph and establish various basic results. They show that the coloring theory for digraphs is similar to the coloring theory for undirected graphs when independent sets of vertices are replaced by acyclic sets. Since the directe

This paper proves that for every rational number r between 3 and 4, there exists a planar graph G whose circular chromatic number is equal to r. Combining this result with a recent result of Moser, we arrive at the conclusion that every rational number r between 2 and 4 is the circular chromatic num

## Abstract This paper proves that every (__n__ + )‐chromatic graph contains a subgraph __H__ with $\chi \_c (H) = n$. This provides an easy method for constructing sparse graphs __G__ with $\chi\_c (G) = \chi ( G) = n$. It is also proved that for any ε > 0, for any fraction __k/d__ > 2, there exis

## 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

The star-chromatic number of a graph, a parameter introduced by Vince, is a natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. Here we construct planar graphs with star-chromatic number r, where r is any rational number between 2 and 3, partially answering a question of Vince.
