More Tales of Hoffman: bounds for the vector chromatic number of a graph
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Let χ(G) denote the chromatic number of a graph and χ_v(G) denote the vector chromatic number. For all graphs χ_v(G) <χ(G) and for some graphs χ_v(G) ≪χ(G). ...
We then use one of these bounds to derive a new characterization of χ_v(G). ...
The Hoffman bound for χ v (G), proved by Galtman and Bilu, follows when D is the zero matrix.
Extremal graphs A graph, G, is said to have a Hoffman coloring if χ(G) equals the Hoffman bound. ...
