Abstract: In this paper we investigate some basic properties of fractional powers. In this regard, we show that for any rational number 1leq2r+1over2s+1<og(G), G2r+1over2s+1longrightarrowH if and only if GlongrightarrowH2s+1over2r+1. Also, for two rational numbers 2r+1over2s+1<2p+1over2q+1 and a non-bipartite graph G, we show that G2r+1over2s+1<G2p+1over2q+1. In the sequel, we introduce an equivalent definition for circular chromatic number of graphs in terms of fractional powers. We also present a sufficient condition for equality of chromatic number and circular chromatic number.
