The Coloring of Graphs
Abstract
In another paper, L,3 the author has given a proof of a formula for M(λ), the number of ways of coloring a graph in λ colors, due to Birkhoff. The numbers m ij , in terms of which M(λ) is expressed, are here studied in detail; a method of calculating them is given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
