We initiate the study of chromatic numbers for contact graphs of configurations of integer-sized cuboids in three dimensions, all of which are mutually congruent. Disallowing rotations, we show a global upper bound of 8 for the chromatic…
In this paper we find chromatic numbers of distance graphs $G(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many n. Also we improve upper bound for $\chi(G(n,r,s))$ in large part of cases.
Let $A\subset\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a finite set of distances, and let $G_{A}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ be the graph with vertex set $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and edge set $\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}:\ \|x-y\|_{2}\in A\}$, and let…
This article is about chromatic numbers of hyperbolic surfaces. For a metric space, the $d$-chromatic number is the minimum number of colors needed to color the points of the space so that any two points at distance $d$ are of a different…
The lower bound for the chromatic number of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is improved for $n = 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13 \mbox{ and } 14$.
The chromatic number $\chi(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ is the smallest number of colors sufficient for coloring all points of the space in such a way that any two points at the distance 1 have different colors. In…
The chromatic number of a subset of Euclidean space is the minimal number of colors sufficient for coloring all points of this subset in such a way that any two points at the distance 1 have different colors. We give new upper bounds for…
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…
Let $\chi(\mathbb{E}^n)$ denote the chromatic number of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^n$, i.e., the smallest number of colors that can be used to color $\mathbb{E}^n$ so that no two points unit distance apart are of the same color. We…
In 1975 Erd\H{o}s initiated the study of the following very natural question. What can be said about the chromatic number of unit distance graphs in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that have large girth? Over the years this question and its natural…
Let n>0 be a number. Let Gn be the graph on n-dimensional Euclidean space connecting points of rational distance. It is consistent with the choiceless theory ZF+DC that Gn has countable chromatic number yet Gn+1 does not.
We give two extensions of the recent theorem of the first author that the odd distance graph has unbounded chromatic number. The first is that for any non-constant polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients and positive leading coefficient,…
In this article we consider a problem related to two famous combinatorial topics. One of them concerns the chromatic number of the space. The other deals with graphs having big girth (the length of the shortest cycle) and large chromatic…
The chromatic number of the random graph $\mathcal{G}(n,p)$ has long been studied and has inspired several landmark results. In the case where $p = d/n$, Achlioptas and Naor showed the chromatic number is asymptotically concentrated at…
For an integer $q\ge 2$ and an even integer $d$, consider the graph obtained from a large complete $q$-ary tree by connecting with an edge any two vertices at distance exactly $d$ in the tree. This graph has clique number $q+1$, and the…
In the way of proving Kneser's conjecture, L\'{a}szl\'{o} Lov\'{a}sz settled out a new lower bound for the chromatic number. He showed that if neighborhood complex $\mathcal{N}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is topologically $k$-connected, then its…
We consider two graph colouring problems in which edges at distance at most $t$ are given distinct colours, for some fixed positive integer $t$. We obtain two upper bounds for the distance-$t$ chromatic index, the least number of colours…
We improve the best lower bounds on the chromatic number of Euclidean space in small dimensions. The new results depend on extensive computations in Sage.
This paper describes an improvement in the upper bound for the magnitude of a coefficient of a term in the chromatic polynomial of a general graph. If $a_r$ is the coefficient of the $q^r$ term in the chromatic polynomial $P(G,q)$, where…
The lower bound for the chromatic number of the Euclidean space of dimension 8 is increased to 25.
