  • Dichromatic number and fractional chromatic number [Elektronski vir]
    Mohar, Bojan, 1956- ; Wu, Hehui
    The dichromatic number of a graph ▫$G$▫ is the maximum integer ▫$k$▫ such that there exists an orientation of the edges of ▫$G$▫ such that for every partition of the vertices into fewer than ▫$k$▫ ... parts, at least one of the parts must contain a directed cycle under this orientation. In 1979, P. Erdős and V. Neumann-Lara conjectured that if the dichromatic number of a graph is bounded, so is its chromatic number. We make the first significant progress on this conjecture by proving a fractional version of the conjecture. While our result uses a stronger assumption about the fractional chromatic number, it also gives a much stronger conclusion: if the fractional chromatic number of a graph is at least ▫$t$▫, then the fractional version of the dichromatic number of the graph is at least ▫$\frac{1}{4}t/\log_{2}(2et^{2})$▫. This bound is best possible up to a small constant factor. Several related results of independent interest are given.
