Abstract

All (undirected) graphs and digraphs considered are assumed to be finite (if not otherwise stated) and loopless. Multiple edges (arcs) are permitted. For a graph G, let V(G), E(G) and X(G) denote the vertex set, the edge set, and the chromatic number of G, respectively. If XV(G) and FE(G) then G − X − F denotes the subgraph H of G satisfying V(H) = V(G)X and E(H) = {xy | xyE(G) − F and x, yX}.
