Abstract:
As a natural generalization of graph coloring, Vince introduced the star chromatic number of a graph G and denoted it by χ*(G). Later, Zhu called it circular chromatic number and denoted it by χc(G). Let χ(G) be the chromatic number of G. In this paper, it is shown that if the complement of G is non-hamiltonian, then χc(G) =χ(G). Denote by M(G) the Mycielski graph of G. Recursively define Mm(G) = M(M m-1(G)). It was conjectured that if m ≤ n - 2, then χc(Mm(Kn)) = χ(Mm(K n)). Suppose that G is a graph on n vertices. We prove that if χ(G) ≥ n+s/2, then χc(M(G)) = χ(M(G)). Let S be the set of vertices of degree n-1 in G. It is proved that if |S| ≥ 3, then χc(M(G)) = χ(M(G)), and if |S| ≥ 5, then χc(M2(G)) = χ(M2(G)), which implies the known results of Chang, Huang, and Zhu that if n≥3, χc(M(Kn))=χ(M(Kn)), and if n≥5, then χc(M3(Kn))=χ(M2(K n)).
