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.
## Abstract In 1959, even before the Four‐Color Theorem was proved, Grötzsch showed that planar graphs with girth at least 4 have chromatic number at the most 3. We examine the fractional analogue of this theorem and its generalizations. For any fixed girth, we ask for the largest possible fraction
## Abstract The vertex set of the reduced Kneser graph KG~2~(__m,2__) consists of all pairs {__a,b__} such that __a, b__ε{1,2,…,__m__} and 2≤|__a__−__b__|≤__m__−2. Two vertices are defined to be adjacent if they are disjoint. We prove that, if __m__≥4 __and m__≠5, then the circular chromatic number
