For a graph $G$, let $P(G,lambda)$ denote the chromatic polynomial of $G$. Two graphs $G$ and $H$ are chromatically equivalent if they share the same chromatic polynomial. A graph $G$ is chromatically unique if any graph chromatically equivalent to $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. A $K_4$-homeomorph is a subdivision of the complete graph $K_4$. In this paper, we determine a family of chromatically uni...

Let the vertices of a graph such that every two adjacent vertices have different color is a very common problem in the graph theory. This is known as proper coloring of graphs. The possible number of different proper colorings on a graph with a given number of colors can be represented by a function called the chromatic polynomial. Two graphs G and H are said to be chromatically equivalent, if ...

Let θ(a1, a2, · · · , ak) denote the graph obtained by connecting two distinct vertices with k independent paths of lengths a1, a2, · · · , ak respectively. Assume that 2 ≤ a1 ≤ a2 ≤ · · · ≤ ak. We prove that the graph θ(a1, a2, · · · , ak) is chromatically unique if ak < a1 + a2, and find examples showing that θ(a1, a2, · · · , ak) may not be chromatically unique if ak = a1 + a2.

Borowiecki, M. and E. Drgas-Burchardt, Classes of chromatically unique graphs, Discrete Mathematics Ill (1993) 71-75. We prove that graphs obtained from complete equibipartite graphs by deleting some independent sets of edges are chromatically unique. 1. Preliminary definitions and results In this paper we consider finite, undirected, simple and loopless graphs. Two graphs G and H are said to b...
