The empty graph E 3 (red) admits a 1-coloring; the complete graph K 3 (blue) admits a 3-coloring; the other graphs admit a 2-coloring. Main article: Chromatic polynomial The chromatic polynomial counts the number of ways a graph can be colored using some of a given number of colors.
Slack variables give an embedding of a polytope into the standard f-orthant, where is the number of constraints (facets of the polytope). This map is one-to-one (slack variables are uniquely determined) but not onto (not all combinations can be realized), and is expressed in terms of the constraints (linear functionals, covectors).
