We show that cycle discrepancy of a 3-colorable graph, G, on at least five vertices is bounded
by
2 n 3 2
; that is,
cycdisc(G) 2n 3 2
. We also show that this bound is best possible by
constructing 3-colorable graphs, on at least five vertices for which cycle discrepancy is at least
2n 3 2
. Let
Gt
be the set of 3-colorable graphs on n ≥ 5 vertices with t vertices in the smallest
color class. We show that for a graph, G from
Gt
, cycdisc(G) 2 t 2
. Furthermore a graph G'
exists in
Gt
with large cycle discrepancy, such that
cycdisc (G') 2 t 2
for t ≥ 1. We also
construct such d-colorable graphs for d> 3 that have maximum possible cycle discrepancy.
