We study the Lovasz number theta along with two further SDP relaxations theta1, theta1/2 of the independence number and the corresponding relaxations of the chromatic number on random graphs G(n,p). We prove that these relaxations are…

In this work, we study the $\delta$-chromatic number of a graph which is the chromatic number of the $\delta$-complement of a graph. We give a structure of the $\delta$-complements and sharp bounds on the $\delta$-chromatic numbers of the…

The Lovasz theta function provides a lower bound for the chromatic number of finite graphs based on the solution of a semidefinite program. In this paper we generalize it so that it gives a lower bound for the measurable chromatic number of…

Stark and Terras introduced the edge zeta function of a finite graph in 1996. The edge zeta function is the reciprocal of a polynomial in twice as many variables as edges in the graph and can be computed in polynomial time. We look at graph…

We use a well known concept of proper vertex colouring of a graph to introduce the construction of a chromatic completion graph and its related parameter, the chromatic completion number of a graph. We then give the chromatic completion…

Let $P(G,\lambda)$ denote the number of proper vertex colorings of $G$ with $\lambda$ colors. The chromatic polynomial $P(C_n,\lambda)$ for the cycle graph $C_n$ is well-known as $$P(C_n,\lambda) = (\lambda-1)^n+(-1)^n(\lambda-1)$$ for all…

We introduce a generalization of the celebrated Lov\'asz theta number of a graph to simplicial complexes of arbitrary dimension. Our generalization takes advantage of real simplicial cohomology theory, in particular combinatorial…

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n--cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. We prove sharp estimates on both the sum of k-th…

For every integer $r\ge3$ and every $\eps>0$ we construct a graph with maximum degree $r-1$ whose circular total chromatic number is in the interval $(r,r+\eps)$. This proves that (i) every integer $r\ge3$ is an accumulation point of the…

We study the behaviour of clique complexes of graphs under the operation of taking graph powers. As an example we compute the clique complexes of powers of cycles, or, in other words, the independence complexes of circular complete graphs.

We obtain sharp bounds for the number of n-cycles in a finite graph as a function of the number of edges, and prove that the complete graph is optimal in more ways than could be imagined. En route, we prove some sharp estimates on power…

The theta function of Lovasz is a graph parameter that can be computed up to arbitrary precision in polynomial time. It plays a key role in algorithms that approximate graph parameters such as maximum independent set, maximum clique and…

In this paper, we have obtained the total chromatic number of some classes of Cayley graphs, odd graphs and mock threshold graphs.

Non-commutative graph theory is an operator space generalization of graph theory. Well known graph parameters such as the independence number and Lov\'asz theta function were first generalized to this setting by Duan, Severini, and Winter.…

In this paper we determine the chromatic number of graphs with two odd cycle lengths. Let $G$ be a graph and $L(G)$ be the set of all odd cycle lengths of $G$. We prove that: (1) If $L(G)=\{3,3+2l\}$, where $l\geq 2$, then…

Perfect graphs can be described as the graphs whose stable set polytopes are defined by their non-negativity and clique inequalities (including edge inequalities). In 1975, Chv\'{a}tal defined an analogous class of t-perfect graphs, which…

In this short note we prove a lower bound for the MaxCut of a graph in terms of the Lov\'asz theta function of its complement. We combine this with known bounds on the Lov\'asz theta function of complements of $H$-free graphs to recover…

Let X be a projective scheme over a finite field. In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of the number of effective cycles on X with bounded degree as it goes to the infinity. By this estimate, we can define a certain kind of…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study on a new notion called near optimal colourability which is closely related to perfect graphs and the Lov{\'a}sz theta function. A graph family $\mathcal{G}$ is {\em near optimal colourable} if…

We investigate vector chromatic number, Lovasz theta of the complement, and quantum chromatic number from the perspective of graph homomorphisms. We prove an analog of Sabidussi's theorem for each of these parameters, i.e. that for each of…
