An r-dynamic proper k-coloring of a graph G is a proper k-coloring of G such that every vertex in V(G) has neighbors in at least \min\{d(v),r\} different color classes. The r-dynamic chromatic number of a graph G, written \chi_r(G), is the least k such that G has such a coloring. By a greedy coloring algorithm, \chi_r(G)\le r\Delta(G)+1 and the equality holds if and only if G is r-regular with diameter 2 and girth 5. We improve the bound to \chi_r(G)\le \Delta(G)+2r when \delta(G)\ge 2r\ln n. In terms of the chromatic number, we prove \chi_r(G)\le r\chi(G) when G is k-regular with k \ge (3+o(1))r\ln r and show that \chi_r(G) may exceed r^{1.377}\chi(G) when k=r. We prove \chi_2(G)\leq \chi(G)+2 when G has diameter 2, with equality only for complete bipartite graphs and the 5-cycle. Also, \chi_2(G)\le 3\chi(G) when G has diameter 3, which is sharp. This is joint work with Sogol Jahanbekam, Suil O, and Douglas B. West.
