The two possible values of the chromatic number of a random graph
Given d (0, ) let kd be the smallest integer k such that d < 2k log k. We prove that the chromatic number of a random graph G(n, d/n) is either kd or kd + 1 almost surely.

Martingales on Trees and the Empire Chromatic Number of Random Trees
We study the empire colouring problem (as defined by Percy Heawood in 1890) for maps whose dual planar graph is a tree, with empires formed by exactly r countries. We prove that, ...

The game chromatic number of random graphs
: Given a graph G and an integer k, two players take turns coloring the vertices of G one by one using k colors so that neighboring vertices get different colors. The first player ...

Finding the chromatic number by means of critical graphs
We propose a new exact algorithm for finding the chromatic number of a graph G. The algorithm attempts to determine the smallest possible induced subgraph G' of G which has t...

Colouring Random Regular Graphs
In a previous paper we showed that a random 4-regular graph asymptotically almost surely (a.a.s.) has chromatic number 3. Here we extend the method to show that a random 6-regular...
