Abstract
Let and be two integers. We will call a proper coloring of the graph a \textit{-nondegenerate}, if for any vertex of with degree at least there are at least vertices of different colors adjacent to it. In our work we prove the following result, which generalizes Brook's Theorem. Let and be a graph without cliques on vertices and the degree of any vertex in this graph is not greater than . Then for every integer there is a proper -nondegenerate vertex -coloring of , where During the primary proof, some interesting corollaries are derived.
