Abstract
For any graph on vertices and for any {\em symmetric} subgraph of , we construct an infinite sequence of graphs based on the pair . The First graph in the sequence is , then at each stage replacing every vertex of the previous graph by a copy of and every edge of the previous graph by a copy of the new graph is constructed. We call these graphs {\em self-similar} graphs. We are interested in delineating those pairs for which the chromatic numbers of the graphs in the sequence are bounded. Here we have some partial results. When is a complete graph and is a special matching we show that every graph in the resulting sequence is an {\em expander} graph.
