Abstract

For a finite graphG letForb(H) denote the class of all finite graphs which do not containH as a (weak) subgraph. In this paper we characterize the class of those graphsH which have the property that almost all graphs inForb(H) are l-colorable. We show that this class corresponds exactly to the class of graphs whose extremal graph is the Turan-graphT n (l).An earlier result of Simonovits (Extremal graph problems with symmetrical extremal graphs. Additional chromatic conditions,Discrete Math. 7 (1974), 349–376) shows that these are exactly the (l+1)-chromatic graphs which contain a color-critical edge.
