In this paper, we prove that if one of the three graphs G1, G2 and G3 is a circular clique, χf(G1,G2,G3)=min{χf(G1)χf(G2),χf(G1)χf(G3),χf(G2)χf(G3)}.Previous article in issueNext article in issueKeywordsDirect productTensor productFractional chromatic numberFractional clique numberCircular cliqueRecommended articlesCited by (0)© 2019 Elsevier B.V.
