For two integers k and d with （k, d） = 1 and k≥2d, let G^dk be the graph with vertex set {0,1,…k - 1 } in which ij is an edge if and only if d≤｜ i -j I｜≤k - d.

The circular chromatic number χc（G） of a graph G is the minimum of k/d for which G admits a homomorphism to G^dk. The relationship between χc（ G- v） and χc （G）is investigated. In particular, the circular chromatic number of G^dk - v for any vertex v is determined. Some graphs withx χc（G - v） =χc（G） - 1 for any vertex v and with certain properties are presented. Some lower bounds for the circular chromatic number of a graph are studied, and a necessary and sufficient condition under which the circular chromatic number of a graph attains the lower bound χ- 1 ＋ 1/α is proved, where χ is the chromatic number of G and a is its independence number.展开更多

We first give a necessary and sufficient condition for a graph G to have circular chromatic number V(G)/α(G) (where V(G) is the vertex number of G and α(G) is its independence number). From this result, we get a necessary and sufficient condition for a vertex-transitive graph to be star extremal as well as a necessary and sufficient condition for a circulant graph to be star extremal. Using these conditions, we obtain several classes of star extremal graphs.展开更多

文摘The circular chromatic number of a graph is a natural generalization of the chromatic number. Circular chromatic number contains more information about the structure of a graph than chromatic number does. In this paper we obtain the circular chromatic numbers of special graphs such as C t k and C t k-v, and give a simple proof of the circular chromatic number of H m,n .
