Abstract:

The conjecture of vertex coloring was proposed in this paper:χ(G)≤S+C, where  χ(G) is the vertex coloring number of agraph and S is vertex number of maximum clique;C is a constant and CZ+. If C=1,p is vertex number of G, we prove that for some graphs of S=p-6, χ(G)≤p-5.

Key words: maximum degree, vertex coloring, the maximum clique
