The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph ^→G is the minimum order of an oriented graph ^→H such that ^→G admits a homomorphism to ^→H. The oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G is then the greatest oriented chromatic number of its orientations.
Keywords: product graph, oriented coloring, oriented chromatic number
