5. 초록 A coloring of a graph G is a coloring of vertices of G so that no pair of adjacent vertices receive the same color, and the chromatic number  of G is the minimum number of colors needed for a coloring of G. 

The main question regarding graph coloring in structural graph theory is the following: how can we control the chromatic number by controlling local structures of graphs? To study this question, the concept of chi-boundedness has been invented. We say a class C of graphs is chi-bounded if there is a function f such that  ≤  for every G in C, where  is the maximum size of a set of vertices of G pairwise adjacent. In particular, if f is polynomial, then C is said to be polynomially chi-bounded. In this talk, I will talk about conjectures and recent results regarding chi-boundedness, and poly chi-boundedness.
