Abstract

We give a closed formula for Lovász's theta number of the powers of cycle graphs C k d驴1 and of their complements, the circular complete graphs K k/d . As a consequence, we establish that the circular chromatic number of a circular perfect graph is computable in polynomial time. We also derive an asymptotic estimate for the theta number of C k d .
