A k-tuple coloring of a graph G assigns a set of k colors to each vertex of G so that if two vertices are adjacent, the corresponding sets of colors are disjoint. The k-tuple chromatic number of G is the smallest t so that there is such a k-tuple coloring of G using t colors in all. The Kneser graph K(m,n) has as vertices all n-element subsets of the set {1,2, . . . ,m} and an edge between two ...

For integers k ≥ 1 and n ≥ 2k + 1, the Kneser graph K(n, k) is the graph whose vertices are the k-element subsets of {1, . . . , n} and whose edges connect pairs of subsets that are disjoint. The Kneser graphs of the form K(2k + 1, k) are also known as the odd graphs. We settle an old problem due to Meredith, Lloyd, and Biggs from the 1970s, proving that for every k ≥ 3, the odd graph K(2k + 1,...

We prove an Erdős-Ko-Rado-type theorem for the Kneser graph on the point-hyperplane flags in a finite projective space.

A notion of real number graph labelings captures the dependence of the span of an optimal channel assignment on the separations that are required between frequencies assigned to close transmitters. We determine the spans of such optimal labelings for a subfamily of Kneser graphs formed by the complements of the line graphs of complete graphs. This subfamily contains (among others) the Petersen ...

We show that the q-Kneser graph q K2k:k (the graph on the k-subspaces of a 2k-space over G F(q), where two k-spaces are adjacent when they intersect trivially), has chromatic number qk + qk−1 for k = 3 and for k < q log q − q . We obtain detailed results on maximal cocliques for k = 3.

This paper is an in-depth analysis of the generalized $\vartheta$-number a graph. The $\vartheta$-number, $\vartheta_k(G)$, serves as bound for both $k$-multichromatic number graph and maximum $k$-colorable subgraph problem. We present various properties such that sequence $(\vartheta_k(G))_k$ increasing bounded from above by order $G$. study $\vartheta_k(G)$ when $G$ strong, disjunction, or Ca...

Let Gn,k denote the Kneser graph whose vertices are the n-element subsets of a (2n + k)-element set and whose edges are the disjoint pairs. In this paper we prove that for any non-negative integer s there is no graph homomorphism from G4,2 to G4s+1,2s+1. This confirms a conjecture of Stahl in a special case.

In this note, we prove that for any integer n ≥ 3 the b-chromatic number of the Kneser graph KG(m,n) is greater than or equal to 2 ( ⌊m 2 ⌋
