Abstract

In this paper, we investigate circular chromatic number of Mycielski construction of graphs. It was shown in \cite{MR2279672} that ttht^{{\rm th}} Mycielskian of the Kneser graph KG(m,n)KG(m,n) has the same circular chromatic number and chromatic number provided that m+tm+t is an even integer. We prove that if mm is large enough, then χ(Mt(KG(m,n)))=χc(Mt(KG(m,n)))\chi(M^t(KG(m,n)))=\chi_c(M^t(KG(m,n))) where MtM^t is ttht^{{\rm th}} Mycielskian. Also, we consider the generalized Kneser graph KG(m,n,s)KG(m,n,s) and show that there exists a threshold m(n,s,t)m(n,s,t) such that χ(Mt(KG(m,n,s)))=χc(Mt(KG(m,n,s)))\chi(M^t(KG(m,n,s)))=\chi_c(M^t(KG(m,n,s))) for mm(n,s,t)m\geq m(n,s,t).
