Abstract An equitable colouring of a graph G is a vertex colouring where no two adjacent vertices are coloured the same and, additionally, the colour class sizes differ by at most 1. The equitable chromatic number χ=(G) is the minimum number of colours required for this. We study the equitable chromatic number of the dense random graph ${\mathcal{G}(n,m)}$ where $m = \left\lfloor {p\left( \matrix{ n \cr 2 \cr} \right)} \right\rfloor$ and 0 < p < 0.86 is constant. It is a well-known question…

The $\chi$-stability index ${\rm es}_{\chi}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of its edges whose removal results in a graph with the chromatic number smaller than that of $G$. In this paper
On the chromatic number in the stochastic block model
We prove a generalisation of Bollobás’ classical result on the asymptotics of the chromatic number of the binomial random graph to the stochastic block model. In addition, by allowing the number of
On the chromatic number of graphons
We determine the asymptotic behaviour of the chromatic number of exchangeable random graphs defined by step-regulated graphons. Furthermore, we show that the upper bound holds for a general graphon.

New upper and lower bounds for $\chi(G)$ are established, which narrow down the colouring rate $n/\chi( G)$ of $G \sim G(n,p)$ to an explicit interval of length $o(1)$ answering a question of Kang and McDiarmid.

The chromatic number of a random graph G_{n,m} is determined for the case $m=O(n)$, but when in the 1970s Erdős popularized the problem, he was asking for good estimates on the chromaticNumber of G_{{n,1/2}$for$m \sim n^2/4$(equivalently, the chromatics number of$G_{ {n, 1/2}}$.

An argument of Bollobas is refined to show that almost all random graphs with fixed edge-probability p have chromatic number equal to n/2 logbn − 2 logb logbn + O(1) where b = 1/(1 − p).
