Chromatic equivalence classes of complete tripartite graphs

Some necessary conditions on a graph which has the same chromatic polynomial as the complete tripartite graph Km, n, r are developed. Using these, we obtain the chromatic equivalence classes for Km, n, n (where 1 ? m ? n) and Km1, m2, m3 (where | mi - mj | ? 3). In particular, it is shown that (i) K...

Chromatic equivalence classes of complete tripartite graphs
description Some necessary conditions on a graph which has the same chromatic polynomial as the complete tripartite graph Km, n, r are developed. Using these, we obtain the chromatic equivalence classes for Km, n, n (where 1 ? m ? n) and Km1, m2, m3 (where | mi - mj | ? 3). In particular, it is shown that (i) Km, n, n (where 2 ? m ? n) and (ii) Km1, m2, m3 (where | mi - mj | ? 3, 2 ? mi, i = 1, 2, 3) are uniquely determined by their chromatic polynomials. The result (i), proved earlier by Liu et�al. [R.Y. Liu, H.X. Zhao, C.Y.
