Let R be a commutative ring with unity (not necessarily finite). The ring R consider as a simple graph whose vertices are the elements of R with two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if xy=0 in R, where 0 is the zero element of R. In…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. The cozero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $\Gamma^{\prime}(R)$, is a graph with vertices in $W^*(R)$, which is the set of all non-zero and non-unit elements of $R$, and two distinct…

A graph is perfect if the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of its largest clique, and an algorithm of Gr\"otschel, Lov\'asz, and Schrijver from 1988 finds an optimal colouring of a perfect graph in polynomial time.…

For a commutative ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$ is a simple graph with the vertex set as the set of all zero-divisors of $R$ and two distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if $xy = 0$. This article attempts to…

The clique chromatic number of a graph G=(V,E) is the minimum number of colors in a vertex coloring so that no maximal (with respect to containment) clique is monochromatic. We prove that the clique chromatic number of the binomial random…

Let R be an Artinian ring and G be the compressed zero-divisor graph associated to R. The question of when the clique number of compressed zero-divisor graphs is finite was raised by J. Coykendall, S. Sather-Wagstaff, L. Sheppardson, and S.…

Borodin and Kostochka in 1977 conjectured that if a graph $G$ has maximum degree $\Delta(G)\ge 9$ and its clique number satisfies $\omega(G)\le \Delta(G)-1$, then its chromatic number satisfies $\chi(G) \le \Delta(G)-1$. We prove this…

Let $G$ be a simple finite connected graph of order $n$ greater than or equal to $3$. We obtain the following results: (1). We apply a result of Hamada and Yoshimura from 1976 and some recent results of Alikhani and Soltani (2020) and…

The concept of gcd-graphs is introduced by Klotz and Sander, which arises as a generalization of unitary Cayley graphs. The gcd-graph $X_n (d_1,...,d_k)$ has vertices $0,1,...,n-1$, and two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent iff…

We introduce a class of pairs of graphs consisting of two cliques joined by an arbitrary number of edges. The members of a pair have the property that the clique-bridging edge-set of one graph is the complement of that of the other. We…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with order $n$, maximum degree $\Delta(G)$, and chromatic index $\chi'(G)$, respectively. A graph $G$ is edge-chromatic critical if $\chi'(H)<\chi'(G)$ for every proper subgraph $H$ of $G$. Assume that $G$ is an…

We prove several results about three families of graphs. For queen graphs, defined from the usual moves of a chess queen, we find the edge-chromatic number in almost all cases. In the unproved case, we have a conjecture supported by a vast…

The regular graph of ideals of the commutative ring $R$, denoted by $\Gamma_{reg}(R)$, is a graph whose vertex set is the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$ and two distinct vertices $I$ and $J$ are adjacent if and only if either $I$…

For a simple graph $G$, let $\chi_f(G)$ be the fractional chromatic number of $G$. In this paper, we aim to establish upper bounds on $\chi_f(G)$ for those graphs $G$ with restrictions on the clique number. Namely, we prove that for $\Delta…

Given a graphic degree sequence $D$, let $\chi(D)$ (respectively $\omega(D)$, $h(D)$, and $H(D)$) denote the maximum value of the chromatic number (respectively, the size of the largest clique, largest clique subdivision, and largest clique…

For a graph $G$, let $\chi(G)$ denote its chromatic number and $\sigma(G)$ denote the order of the largest clique subdivision in $G$. Let H(n) be the maximum of $\chi(G)/\sigma(G)$ over all $n$-vertex graphs $G$. A famous conjecture of…

The clique chromatic number of a graph is the smallest number of colors in a vertex coloring so that no maximal clique is monochromatic. In 2016 McDiarmid, Mitsche and Pralat noted that around p \approx n^{-1/2} the clique chromatic number…
