Abstract:
As a natural generalization of graph coloring, Vince introduced the star chromatic number of a graph G and denoted it by chi*(G). Later, Zhu called it circular chromatic number and denoted it by chi(c)(G). Let chi(G) be the chromatic number of G. In this paper, it is shown that if the complement of G is non-hamiltonian, then chi(c)(G)=chi(G). Denote by M(G) the Mycielski graph of G. Recursively define M-m(G)=M(Mm-1(G)). It was conjectured that if mless than or equal ton-2, then chi(c)(M-m(K-n))=chi(M-m(K-n)). Suppose that G is a graph on n vertices. We prove that if chi(G) greater than or equal to n+3/2, then chi(c)(M(G))=chi(M(G)). Let S be the set of vertices of degree n-1 in G. It is proved that if |S|greater than or equal to 3, then chi(c)(M(G))=chi(M(G)), and if |S|greater than or equal to 5, then chi(c)(M-2(G))=chi(M-2(G)), which implies the known results of Chang, Huang, and Zhu that if ngreater than or equal to3, chi(c)(M(K-n))=chi(M(K-n)), and if ngreater than or equal to5, then chi(c)(M-2(K-n))=chi(M-2(K-n)).
