We propose a new exact algorithm for finding the chromatic number of a graph G. The algorithm attempts to determine the smallest possible induced subgraph G' of G which has t...
This paper presents algorithms to find vertex-critical and edgecritical subgraphs in a given graph G, and demonstrates how these critical subgraphs can be used to determine the ch...

In this paper, the total chromatic number and fractional total chromatic number of circulant graphs are studied. For cubic circulant graphs we give upper bounds on the fractional ...
The strong chromatic number, S(G), of an n-vertex graph G is the smallest number k such that after adding kn/k-n isolated vertices to G and considering any partition of the vertic...
The circular chromatic number of a graph is a well-studied refinement of the chromatic number. Circular-perfect graphs is a superclass of perfect graphs defined by means of this...
