Article Description

In this paper, we first show that every (P, diamond, K)-free graph is 6-colorable. We also give an example of a (P, diamond, K)-free graph G with χ(G) = 6. Further, we show that for every (P, diamond)-free graph G, the chromatic number of G is upper bounded by a linear function of its clique number. This generalizes some known results in the literature.
