摘要
The b-chromatic number of a graph G is the largest integer k such that G admits a proper k-coloring in which every color class contains at least one vertex adjacent to some vertex in all the other color classes. It is proved that with four exceptions, the b-chromatic number of cubic graphs is 4. The exceptions are the Petersen graph, K3,3, the prism over K3, and one more sporadic example on 10 vertices.
