- Title: A class of three colorable triangle-free graphs
- Summary:
The chromatic number of a triangle-free graph can be arbitrarily large. In this talk we will show that if all subdivisions of K_{2, 3} are also excluded as induced subgraphs, then the chromatic number is bounded by 3. We will give a structural characterization of this class of graphs, from which we derive an O(nm) coloring algorithm.
