  2. Coloring Coloring Given a graph G , a (proper) k -coloring of the vertices of G is a mapping c : V ( G ) → { 1 , 2 , . . . , k } for which every pair of adjacent vertices x , y satisfies c ( x ) � = c ( y ). Lucas Pastor (JGA 2015) List-coloring in claw-free perfect graphs 04/11/15 2 / 21

  3. Coloring Coloring Given a graph G , a (proper) k -coloring of the vertices of G is a mapping c : V ( G ) → { 1 , 2 , . . . , k } for which every pair of adjacent vertices x , y satisfies c ( x ) � = c ( y ). Chromatic number The chromatic number of G , denoted by χ ( G ), is the smallest integer k such that G admits a k -coloring.
