dc.descriptionThe main contributions of this paper are three-fold. First, we use a dynamic approach based on Reiter's pioneering work on Karp-Miller computation graphs to give a new and short proof of Mohar's Minty-type Theorem. Second, we bridge circular colorings and discrete event dynamic systems to show that the Barbosa and Gafni's results on circular chromatic number can be generalized to edge-weighted symmetric directed graphs. Third, we use the above-mentioned dynamic view of circular colorings to construct new improved lower bounds on the circular chromatic number of a graph. We show as an example that the circular chromatic number of the line graph of the Petersen graph can be determined very easily by using these bounds.
