We prove that every planar triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has fractional chromatic number at most $3-3/(3n+1)$.

A [Formula: see text]-hued coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] is a proper [Formula: see text]-coloring [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] for any vertex [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-hued chromatic number of [Formula: see text], written [Formula: see text], is the minimum integer [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has a [Formula: see text]-hued coloring. In this paper, we show that [Formula: see text] if [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a planar graph without [Formula: see text]-cycles or if [Formula: see text] is a planar graph without [Formula: see text]-cycles and no [Formula: see text]-cycle is intersect with [Formula: see text]-cycles, [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text].

International audience We introduce a new graph parameter that measures fractional covering of a graph by cuts. Besides being interesting in its own right, it is useful for study of homomorphisms and tension-continuous mappings. We study the relations with chromatic number, bipartite density, and other graph parameters. We find the value of our parameter for a family of graphs based on hypercubes. These graphs play for our parameter the role that cliques play for the chromatic number and Kneser graphs for the fractional chromatic number. The fact that the defined parameter attains on these graphs the correct value suggests that our definition is a natural one. In the proof we use the eigenvalue bound for maximum cut and a recent result of Engström, Färnqvist, Jonsson, and Thapper [An approximability-related parameter on graphs – properties and applications, DMTCS vol. 17:1, 2015, 33–66]. We also provide a polynomial time approximation algorithm based on semidefinite programming and in particular on vector chromatic number (defined by Karger, Motwani and Sudan [Approximate graph coloring by semidefinite programming, J. ACM 45 (1998), no. 2, 246–265]).

Graphs possessing a certain property are often characterized in terms of a type of configuration or subgraph which they cannot possess. For example, a graph is totally disconnected (or, has chromatic number one) if and only if it contains no lines; a graph is a forest (or, has point-arboricity one) if and only if it contains no cycles. Chartrand, Geller, and Hedetniemi [2] defined a graph to have property Pn if it contains no subgraph homeomorphic from the complete graph Kn+1 or the complete bipartite graphFor the first four natural numbers n, the graphs with property Pn are exactly the totally disconnected graphs, forests, outerplanar and planar graphs, respectively. This unification suggested the extension of many results known to hold for one of the above four classes of graphs to one or more of the remaining classes.
