Abstract

‎Let $p$ be a prime number and $n$ be a positive integer‎. ‎The graph‎ ‎$G_p(n)$ is a graph with vertex set $[n]=\{1‎, ‎2,\ldots‎, ‎n\}$‎, ‎in‎ ‎which there is an arc from $u$ to $v$ if and only if $u\neq v$ and‎ ‎$p\nmid u+v$‎. ‎In this paper it is shown that $G_p(n)$ is a perfect‎ ‎graph‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎an explicit formula for the chromatic number of‎ ‎such graph is given‎.
