Reed's conjecture on some special classes of graphs
Jean-Luc Fouquet 1, Jean-Marie Vanherpe 1
(2012-04-27)

Reed conjectured that for any graph $G$, $\chi(G) \leq \lceil \frac{\omega(G)+\Delta(G)+1}{2}\rceil$, where $\chi(G)$, $\omega(G)$, and $\Delta(G)$ respectively denote the chromatic number, the clique number and the maximum degree of $G$. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for some special classes of graphs, in particular for subclasses of $P_5$-free graphs or $Chair$-free graphs.
