| abstract: |
Let
D
be a finite set of integers. The distance graph
G(D)
has the set of integers as vertices and two vertices
at distance
d ∈D
are adjacent in
G(D)
. A conjecture of Xuding Zhu states that if the
chromatic number of
G (D)
achieves its maximum value
|D|+1
then the graph has a clique of order
|D|
. We prove that the chromatic number of a distance
graph with
D={ a,b,c,d}
is five if and only if either
D={ 1,2,3,4k}
or
D={ a,b,a+b,a+2b}
with
a ≡0
and
mod
2
b ≡1
. This confirms Zhu's conjecture for
mod
2
|D|=4
.

The first source gives you the `gzipped' PostScript, the second the plain PostScript and the third the format for the Adobe accrobat reader. Depending on the installation of your web browser, at least one of these should (after some amount of time) pop up a window for you that shows the full article. If this is not the case, you should contact your system administrator to install your browser correctly.
Due to limitations of your local software, the two formats may show up differently on your screen. If eg you use xpdf to visualize pdf, some of the graphics in the file may not come across. On the other hand, pdf has a capacity of giving links to sections, bibliography and external references that will not appear with PostScript.
