Title
On bounding the difference between the maximum degree and the chromatic number by a constant.
Abstract
We provide a finite forbidden induced subgraph characterization for the graph class  Υk, for all k∈N0, which is defined as follows. A graph is in Υk if for any induced subgraph, Δ≤χ−1+k holds, where Δ is the maximum degree and χ is the chromatic number of the subgraph.
