Problem 14.3: Chromatic Uniqueness


The statements that every odd wheel is chromatically unique, and that the 8-wheel is not, proved in a paper in 1984 by S.-J. Xu and N.-Z. Li, were also proved, independently, by I.G. Dmitriev in 1984 in his Ph.D. thesis at the Institute of Mathematics, Russian Academy, Novosibirsk.

We gratefully acknowledge having received this information from O.V. Borodin in November 1994.
