چکیده
In this paper, we study the structure of 5-critical graphs in terms of their size. In particular, we have obtained bounds for the number of major vertices in several classes of 5-critical graphs, that are stronger than the existing bounds.

On the Edge-Difference and Edge-Sum Chromatic Sum of the Simple Graphs
For a coloring $c$ of a graph $G$, the edge-difference coloring sum and edge-sum coloring sum with respect to the coloring $c$ are respectively $sum_c D(G)=sum |c(a)-c(b)|$ and $sum_s S(G)=sum (c(a)+c(b))$, where the summations are taken over all edges $abin E(G)$. The edge-difference chromatic sum, denoted by $sum D(G)$, and the edge-sum chromatic sum, denoted by $sum S(G)$, a...
متن کاملFace-Degree Bounds for Planar Critical Graphs
The only remaining case of a well known conjecture of Vizing states that there is no planar graph with maximum degree 6 and edge chromatic number 7. We introduce parameters for planar graphs, based on the degrees of the faces, and study the question whether there are upper bounds for these parameters for planar edge-chromatic critical graphs. Our results provide upper bounds on these parameters...
متن کاملChromatic-index-critical graphs of orders 13 and 14
A graph is chromatic-index-critical if it cannot be edge-coloured with ∆ colours (with ∆ the maximal degree of the graph), and if the removal of any edge decreases its chromatic index. The Critical Graph Conjecture stated that any such graph has odd order. It has been proved false and the smallest known counterexample has order 18 [18, 31]. In this paper we show that there are no chromatic-inde...
متن کاملColor-Critical Graphs and Hypergraphs with Few Edges: A Survey
A hypergraph is color-critical if deleting any edge or vertex reduces the chromatic number; a color-critical hypergraph with chromatic number k is k-critical. Every k-chromatic hypergraph contains a k-critical hypergraph, so one can study chromatic number by studying the structure of k-critical (hyper)graphs. There is vast literature on k-critical graphs and hypergraphs. Many references can be ...
متن کاملDense critical and vertex-critical graphs

متن کاملCharacterization of some b-chromatic edge critical graphs
A b-coloring is a proper coloring of the vertices of a graph such that each color class has a vertex that is adjacent to a vertex of every other color. The b-chromatic number b(G) of a graph G is the largest k such that G admits a b-coloring with k colors. A graph G is b-chromatic edge critical if for any edge e of G, the b-chromatic number of G − e is less than the b-chromatic number of G. We ...
