Abstarct: A Kneser gragh KG(n,k) is a gragh whose vertex set is the set of all k-subsets of {1, 2, ..., n} and two vertices are adjecent if their corresponding sets are disjoint. Kneser 1955 conjectured the chromatic number of KG(n, k) is n − 2k + 2 provided that n ≥ 2k. This conjecture received an affirmative answer by a break through of Lovasz. He used
algebraic topology in his proof which is known as the begining of the field of combinatorial topology. Lovasz’s result has been generalized in several ways with different proofs. In this thesis, we discuss some of these generalization.
