چکیده

In 1992 Gyárfás showed that a graph G having only k odd cycle lengths is (2k + 1)colourable, if it does not contain a K2k+2. In this paper, we will present the results for graphs containing only odd cycles of length 2m − 1 and 2m + 1 as done in [S. Matos Camacho, Colourings of graph with prescribed cycle lengths, diploma thesis, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, 2006. [3]]. We will show that these graphs are 4-colourable. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

RECONFIGURING k-COLOURINGS OF COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS

Let H be a graph, and k ≥ χ(H) an integer. We say that H has a Gray code of k-colourings if and only if it is possible to list all its k-colourings in such a way that consecutive colourings (including the last and the first) agree on all vertices of H except one. The Gray code number of H is the least integer k0(H) such that H has a Gray code of its k-colourings for all k ≥ k0(H). For complete ...

0n removable cycles in graphs and digraphs

In this paper we define the removable cycle that, if $Im$ is a class of graphs, $Gin Im$, the cycle $C$ in $G$ is called removable if $G-E(C)in Im$. The removable cycles in Eulerian graphs have been studied. We characterize Eulerian graphs which contain two edge-disjoint removable cycles, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for Eulerian graph to have removable cycles h...

Cycle length parities and the chromatic number

In 1966 Erdős and Hajnal proved that the chromatic number of graphs whose odd cycles have lengths at most l is at most l + 1. Similarly, in 1992 Gyárfás proved that the chromatic number of graphs which have at most k odd cycle lengths is at most 2k + 2 which was originally conjectured by Bollobás and Erdős. Here we consider the influence of the parities of the cycle lengths modulo some odd prim...

Cycles in triangle-free graphs of large chromatic number

More than twenty years ago Erdős conjectured [4] that a triangle-free graph G of chromatic number k ≥ k0(ε) contains cycles of at least k2−ε different lengths as k →∞. In this paper, we prove the stronger fact that every triangle-free graph G of chromatic number k ≥ k0(ε) contains cycles of 1 64 (1− ε)k 2 log k4 consecutive lengths, and a cycle of length at least 14 (1− ε)k 2 log k. As there ex...
