Abstract

Zykov designed one of the oldest known families of triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily high chromatic number. We determine the fractional chromatic number of the Zykov product of a family of graphs. As a corollary, we deduce that the fractional chromatic numbers of the Zykov graphs satisfy the same recurrence relation as those of the Mycielski graphs, that is an+1=an+1an. This solves a conjecture of Jacobs.
