Abstract

Let $G= (V, E)$ be an undirected simple graph. The star chromatic number of a graph G is the least number of colors needed to color the path on four vertices with three distinct colors. The purpose of this paper is to study the star coloring of some graph families formed from the Cartesian product of some simple graphs.
