A survey of Nordhaus-Gaddum type relations

TL;DR: In this paper, Nordhaus and Gaddum gave lower and upper bounds on the sum and product of the chromatic number of a graph and its complement, in terms of the order of the graph.

Graph labeling and radio channel assignment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of finding labelings of minimum span, given a graph and a set of constraints, and obtain optimal labelings for up to three levels of constraint.

A note on the star chromatic number

TL;DR: A.A. Vince introduced a natural generalization of graph coloring and proved some basic facts, revealing it to be a concept of interest, and his work relies on continuous methods.

n-Tuple colorings and associated graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, the n-tuple graph coloring is defined together with its respective chromatic number xn, and it is proved that these numbers satisfy the inequality xn ≥ 2 + xn−1, and that equality holds only for bipartite graphs.

r-tuple colorings of uniquely colorable graphs

TL;DR: It is shown that this cannot happen for n=3 and r=2 and that for a given n and r to establish the conjecture that no uniquely n-colorable graph can receive an r-tuple coloring from fewer than nr colors it suffices to prove it for on a finite set of uniquely n -colorable graphs.
