Abstract: Let H=(V(H),E(H)) be a graph. A k-coloring of H is a mapping pi:V(H)longrightarrow1,2,ldots,k, if each color class induces a K2-free subgraph. For a graph G of order at least 2, a G-free k-coloring of H, is a mapping pi:V(H)longrightarrow1,2,ldots,k, so that the induced subgraph by each color class of pi, contains no copy of G. The G-free chromatic number of H, is the minimum number k, so that it has a G-free k-coloring, and denoted by chiG(H). In this paper, we give some bounds and attributes on the G-free chromatic number of graphs, in terms of the number of vertices, maximum degree, minimum degree, and chromatic number. Our main results are the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type theorem for the G-free chromatic number of a graph.
