Let Kn:r denote the Kneser graph, whose vertex set is the set of r-element subsets of an n-element sets, and where two vertices form an edge if the corresponding sets are disjoint. (a) Describe Kn:1 for n ? 1. (b) Draw K4:2 and K5:2. (c) Determine |E(Kn:r)| for n ? 2r ? 1.

5. Let G be the graph on n vertices obtained from Kn by removing a single edge. Prove that the chromatic polynomial of G is k(k - 1) ... (k - n + 3)(k - n + 2)^2.

2) If G is a connected undirected graph such that every vertex has degree at most k, and the shortest path between any two vertices has length at most 2, then the number of vertices in G can be at most k^2 - 1 k^2 + 1 k^2 k^2 - k

Use Exercise 43 to show that a simple graph with $n$ vertices and $k$ connected components has at most $(n-k)(n-$ $k+1 ) / 2$ edges. [Hint: First show that $$ \sum_{i=1}^{k} n_{i}^{2} \leq n^{2}-(k-1)(2 n-k) $$ where $n_{i}$ is the number of vertices in the ith connected component. $]$
