I am a beginner in graph theory and I am interested in finding an upper bound for the chromatic number of the following class of graphs:
- If two vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent in $G$, then there exist vertex $c$ such that $abc$ is a triangle graph. In other words, there exist vertex $c$ such that $c$, $a$ and $b$ are adjacent.
- Every graph in this class has no complete sub-graph except $K_3$.
forFor example chromatic number of triangle is $\chi(G)=3$. In general, an upper bound for the chromatic number of an arbitrary graph $G$ is $\Delta(G)+1$;. But this bound is not bestnecessarily optimal for the above problem.
Is there any paper about this problem?
Update: Is this class of graphs plannerplanar? If not, Underunder what conditionadditional conditions is this class of graphs is plannerplanar?
Thanks.
