$H_q(n,d)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set $\mathbb{Z}_q^n$ and where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is at least $d$. The chromatic number of these graphs is presented for various sets of parameters $(q,n,d)$. For the $4$-colorings of the graphs $H_2(n,n-1)$ a notion of robustness is introduced. It is based on the tolerance of swapping colors along an edge without destroying properness of the coloring. An explicit description of the maximally robust $4$-colorings of $H_2(n,n-1)$ is presented.

First László Székely and more recently Saharon Shelah and Alexander Soifer have presented examples of infinite graphs whose chromatic numbers depend on the axioms chosen for set theory. The existence of such graphs may be relevant to the Chromatic Number of the Plane problem. In this paper we construct a new class of graphs with ambiguous chromatic number. They are unit distance graphs with vertex set ${\Bbb R}^n$, and hence may be seen as further evidence that the chromatic number of the plane might depend on set theory.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. In this paper, we introduce theweakly nilpotent graph of a commutative ring. The weakly nilpotent graph of R denoted by Γw(R) is a graph with the vertex set R* and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if x y ∊ N(R)*, where R* = R \ {0} and N(R)* is the set of all non-zero nilpotent elements of R. In this article, we determine the diameter of weakly nilpotent graph of an Artinian ring. We prove that if Γw(R) is a forest, then Γw(R) is a union of a star and some isolated vertices. We study the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number of Γw(R). Among other results, we show that for an Artinian ring R, Γw(R) is not a disjoint union of cycles or a unicyclic graph. For Artinan rings, we determine diam . Finally, we characterize all commutative rings R for which is a cycle, where is the complement of the weakly nilpotent graph of R.

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity. Then the Jacobson graph of R, denoted by 𝔍R, is defined as a graph with vertex set R\J(R) such that two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if 1 - xy is not a unit of R. We obtain some graph theoretical properties of 𝔍R including its connectivity, planarity and perfectness and we compute some of its numerical invariants, namely diameter, girth, dominating number, independence number and vertex chromatic number and give an estimate for its edge chromatic number.

A clique colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices such that no maximal clique is monochromatic (ignoring isolated vertices). The least number of colours in such a colouring is the clique chromatic number.  Given $n$ points $\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots,\mathbf{x}_n$ in the plane, and a threshold $r>0$, the corresponding geometric graph has vertex set $\{v_1,\ldots,v_n\}$, and distinct $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent when the Euclidean distance between $\mathbf{x}_i$ and $\mathbf{x}_j$ is at most $r$. We investigate the clique chromatic number of such graphs.We first show that the clique chromatic number is at most 9 for any geometric graph in the plane, and briefly consider geometric graphs in higher dimensions. Then we study the asymptotic behaviour of the clique chromatic number for the random geometric graph $\mathcal{G}$ in the plane, where $n$ random points are independently and uniformly distributed in a suitable square. We see that as $r$ increases from 0, with high probability the clique chromatic number is 1 for very small $r$, then 2 for small $r$, then at least 3 for larger $r$, and finally drops back to 2.

The packing chromatic number χ_{p}(G) of a graph G = (V,E) is the smallest integer k such that the vertex set V(G) can be partitioned into disjoint classes V1 ,V2 ,...,Vk , where vertices in Vi have pairwise distance greater than i. In this paper, we compute the packing chromatic number of circulant graphs with different jump sizes._{}

Let R be a commutative ring and 𝔸(R) be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilators. The annihilating-ideal graph of R is defined as the graph 𝔸𝔾(R) with the vertex set 𝔸(R)* = 𝔸(R)\{(0)} and two distinct vertices I and J are adjacent if and only if IJ = (0). Here, we present some results on the clique number and the chromatic number of the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring. It is shown that if R is an Artinian ring and ω (𝔸𝔾(R)) = 2, then R is Gorenstein. Also, we investigate commutative rings whose annihilating-ideal graphs are complete or bipartite.

Let R be a commutative ring with identity, I its proper ideal and M be a unitary R-module. In this paper, we introduce and study a kind of graph structure of an R-module M with respect to proper ideal I, denoted by ΓI(RM) or simply ΓI(M). It is the (undirected) graph with the vertex set M\{0} and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if [x : M][y : M] ⊆ I. Clearly, the zero-divisor graph of R is a subgraph of Γ0(R); this is an important result on the definition. We prove that if ann R(M) ⊆ I and H is the subgraph of ΓI(M) induced by the set of all non-isolated vertices, then diam (H) ≤ 3 and gr (ΓI(M)) ∈ {3, 4, ∞}. Also, we prove that if Spec (R) and ω(Γ Nil (R)(M)) are finite, then χ(Γ Nil (R)(M)) ≤ ∣ Spec (R)∣ + ω(Γ Nil (R)(M)). Moreover, for a secondary R-module M and prime ideal P, we determine the chromatic number and the clique number of ΓP(M), where ann R(M) ⊆ P. Among other results, it is proved that for a semisimple R-module M with ann R(M) ⊆ I, ΓI(M) is a forest if and only if ΓI(M) is a union of isolated vertices or a star.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce the notion of perfect matching property for a k-partition of vertex set of given graph. We consider nontrivial graphs G and GPk , the k-complement of graph G with respect to a kpartition of V(G), to prove that A(G)A(GPk ) is realizable as a graph if and only if P satis_es perfect matching property. For A(G)A(GPk ) = A(Γ) for some graph Γ, we obtain graph parameters such as chromatic number, domination number etc., for those graphs and characterization of P is given for which GPk and Γ are isomorphic. Given a 1-factor graph G with 2n vertices, we propose a partition P for which GPk is a graph of rank r and A(G)A(GPk ) is graphical, where n ≤ r ≤ 2n. Motivated by the result of characterizing decomposable Kn,n into commuting perfect matchings [2], we characterize complete k-partite graph Kn1,n2,...,nk which has a commuting decomposition into a perfect matching and its k-complement.
