===Unique total colorability=== A '''uniquely total colorable graph''' is a [[Total coloring|''k''-total-chromatic graph]] that has only one possible [[Total coloring|(proper) ''k''-total-coloring]] up to permutation of the colors. [[Empty graph]]s, [[Path graph|paths]], and [[Cycle graph|cycles]] of length divisible by 3 are uniquely total colorable graphs. {{harvtxt|Mahmoodian|Shokrollahi|1995}} conjectured that they are also the only members in this family. Some properties of a uniquely ''k''-total-colorable graph ''G'' with ''n'' vertices: # Οβ³(''G'') = Ξ(''G'') + 1 unless ''G'' = ''K''<sub>2</sub>.{{sfnp|Akbari|Behzad|Hajiabolhassan|Mahmoodian|1997}} # Ξ(''G'') β€ 2 Ξ΄(''G'').{{sfnp|Akbari|Behzad|Hajiabolhassan|Mahmoodian|1997}} # Ξ(''G'') β€ n/2 + 1.{{sfnp|Akbari|2003}} Here Οβ³(''G'') is the [[Total coloring|total chromatic number]]; Ξ(''G'') is the [[Glossary of graph theory#Degree|maximum degree]]; and Ξ΄(''G'') is the [[Glossary of graph theory#Degree|minimum degree]].
