Questions about the branch of combinatorics called graph theory (not to be used for questions concerning the graph of a function). This tag can be further specialized via using it in combination with more specialized tags such as extremal-graph-theory, spectral-graph-theory, algebraic-graph-theory, topological-graph-theory, random-graphs, graph-colorings and several others.

How to translate a graph coloring problem to algebraic or geometric language and solve it?

I want to know whether there are ways to use algebraic methods for solving graph theory problems (graph coloring problems). For example, is it possible to prove the four-color theorem purely with alg …

New edge coloring problem in graph theory

Let $G$ be a simple graph. Consider the following edge coloring: We are allowed to use repetitive colors on some edges incident to a vertex such that the result does not contain a sequence of length …

Does anybody know how to prove or disprove the following guess about edge coloring of Hyperg...

Definition. Suppose $H=(V,E)$ is a hypergraph. Call a hyperedge $e=\{v_1,v_2,\dotsc,v_k\}$ a $k$-star if in the 1-skeleton of $H$ there is a copy of $K^{1,k-1}$ whose union equals $e$. (Obviously in t …

Upper bound for chromatic number of graphs with $\omega(G)\leq\lfloor\frac{\Delta(G)+1}{2}\r...

Let $G$ be a simple graph such that $\omega(G)\leq\lfloor\frac{\Delta(G)+1}{2}\rfloor+1$ where $\Delta(G)$ is the maximal degree of $G$. Is it true that \begin{equation} \chi(G)\leq \lfloor\frac{\De …

Some question about a new type of graphs

Let $G$ be a simple graph such that some of its vertices are like a fork. i.e. there is vertices $w,x,a,v$ such that edges $[v,w]$ and $[w,a]$ are incident in $w$ and edges $[w,a]$ and $[x,w]$ are …

Has the Total Coloring Conjecture been proved for complete graphs?

I have a question on the Total Coloring Conjecture in graph theory. This conjecture states that $$\chi^"(G)\leq \Delta +2,$$ where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph and $\chi^"(G)$ denotes …

Does $\omega(G)\leq k$ imply $\chi(G)\leq k$ for $n\geq 3$? [closed]

Let $G$ be a simple graph with $n$ vertices. Let $\omega(G)$ and $\chi(G)$ denotes the clique number and chromatic number of $G$ respectively. Then Does $\omega(G)\leq k$ imply $\chi(G)\leq k$ for …

Upper bound on chromatic number for some graphs

I am a beginner in graph theory and I am interested in finding an upper bound for the chromatic number of the following class of graphs: If two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent in $G$, then th …
