TLDR
It is proved that if a 4-critical graph I' has a vortex x of large valency (compared to the number of vertices of I' not adjacent to x), then I' contains Vertices of valency 3, and a list of all 4- critical graphs with @? 9 vertices is exhibited.

Hajós' graph-coloring conjecture: Variations and counterexamples

TL;DR: It is shown that a graph with chromatic number 4 contains as a subgraph a subdivided K4 in which each triangle of the K4 is subdivided to form an odd cycle.

The Graph Coloring Problem: A Bibliographic Survey

TL;DR: In this article, an arbitrary undirected graph without loops is defined as a graph where V = {v 1, v 2,…, v n } is its vertex set and E = {e 1,e 2, e m } ⊂ (E ×E) is its edge set.

Graph coloring and the immersion order

TL;DR: It is proved that minimal counterexamples must, if any exist, be both 4-vertex-connected and t-edge-connected, and the relationship between graph coloring and the immersion order is considered.

Five-Coloring Graphs on the Torus

TL;DR: It is proved that a graph on the torus is 5-colorable, unless it contains either K6 the complete graph on six vertices, or C3 + C5, the join of two cycles of lengths three and five, respectively.

On cliques in graphs

TL;DR: In this article, the maximum number of cliques possible in a graph with n nodes is determined and bounds are obtained for the number of different sizes of clique possible in such a graph.
