 Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: The chromatic number of a Latin square is the least number of partial transversals which cover its cells. This is just the chromatic number of its associated Latin square graph. Although Latin square graphs have been widely studied as strongly regular graphs, their chromatic numbers appear to be unexplored. We determine the chromatic number of a circulant Latin square, and ?nd bounds for some other classes of Latin squares. With a computer, we ?nd the chromatic number for all main classes of Latin squares of order at most eight.
 Mathematics , 2015, Abstract: In this paper, we will study the chromatic number of Cayley graphs of algebraic groups that arise from algebraic constructions. Using Lang-Weil bound and representation theory of finite simple groups of Lie type, we will establish lower bounds on the chromatic number of these graphs. This provides a lower bound for the chromatic number of Cayley graphs of the regular graphs associated to the ring of $n\times n$ matrices over finite fields. Using Weil's bound for Kloosterman sums we will also prove an analogous result for $\mathrm{SL}_2$ over finite rings.
 Mathematics , 2005, Abstract: In this paper we obtain some upper bounds for $b$-chromatic number of $K_{1,t}$ -free graphs, graphs with given minimum clique partition and bipartite graphs. These bounds are in terms of either clique number or chromatic number of graphs or biclique number for bipartite graphs. We show that all the bounds are tight.

 Mathematics , 2007, Abstract: 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 wins iff at the end of the game all the vertices of G are colored. The game chromatic number \chi_g(G) is the minimum k for which the first player has a winning strategy. In this paper we analyze the asymptotic behavior of this parameter for a random graph G_{n,p}. We show that with high probability the game chromatic number of G_{n,p} is at least twice its chromatic number but, up to a multiplicative constant, has the same order of magnitude. We also study the game chromatic number of random bipartite graphs.
 David R. Wood Contributions to Discrete Mathematics , 2007, Abstract: Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, average degree $delta$, and maximum degree $Delta$. The emph{oriented chromatic number} of $G$ is the maximum, taken over all orientations of $G$, of the minimum number of colours in a proper vertex colouring such that between every pair of colour classes all edges have the same orientation. We investigate the oriented chromatic number of graphs, such as the hypercube, for which $deltageqlog n$. We prove that every such graph has oriented chromatic number at least $Omega(sqrt{n})$. In the case that $deltageq(2+epsilon)log n$, this lower bound is improved to $Omega(sqrt{m})$. Through a simple connection with harmonious colourings, we prove a general upper bound of $Oh{Deltasqrt{n}}$ on the oriented chromatic number. Moreover this bound is best possible for certain graphs. These lower and upper bounds are particularly close when $G$ is ($clog n$)-regular for some constant $c>2$, in which case the oriented chromatic number is between $Omega(sqrt{nlog n})$ and $mathcal{O}(sqrt{n}log n)$.
 David R. Wood Mathematics , 2006, Abstract: Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, average degree $\delta$, and maximum degree $\Delta$. The "oriented chromatic number" of $G$ is the maximum, taken over all orientations of $G$, of the minimum number of colours in a proper vertex colouring such that between every pair of colour classes all edges have the same orientation. We investigate the oriented chromatic number of graphs, such as the hypercube, for which $\delta\geq\log n$. We prove that every such graph has oriented chromatic number at least $\Omega(\sqrt{n})$. In the case that $\delta\geq(2+\epsilon)\log n$, this lower bound is improved to $\Omega(\sqrt{m})$. Through a simple connection with harmonious colourings, we prove a general upper bound of $O(\Delta\sqrt{n})$ on the oriented chromatic number. Moreover this bound is best possible for certain graphs. These lower and upper bounds are particularly close when $G$ is ($c\log n$)-regular for some constant $c>2$, in which case the oriented chromatic number is between $\Omega(\sqrt{n\log n})$ and $O(\sqrt{n}\log n)$.
 Mathematics , 2011, Abstract: Let Q(n,c) denote the minimum clique size an n-vertex graph can have if its chromatic number is c. Using Ramsey graphs we give an exact, albeit implicit, formula for the case c is at least (n+3)/2.
 Saharon Shelah Mathematics , 2012, Abstract: We deal with incompactness. Assume the existence of non-reflecting stationary set of cofinality kappa . We prove that one can define a graph G whose chromatic number is > kappa, while the chromatic number of every subgraph G' subseteq G,|G'| < |G| is <= kappa . The main case is kappa = aleph_0.
