文摘The total chromatic number xT(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color the elements(vertices and edges) of G such that no adjacent or incident pair of elements receive the same color, G is called Type 1 if xT(G) =△(G)+1. In this paper we prove that the join of a complete bipartite graph Km,n and a cycle Cn is of Type 1.
