Title
On graphs with strongly independent color-classes
Abstract
We prove that for every k there is a k-chromatic graph with a k-coloring where the neighbors of each color-class form an independent set. This answers a question raised by N. J. A. Harvey and U. S. R. Murty [4]. In fact we find the smallest graph Gk with the required property for every k. The graph Gk exhibits remarkable similarity to Kneser graphs. The proof that Gk is k-chromatic relies on Lovász's theorem about the chromatic number of graphs with highly connected neighborhood complexes. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
