Let G = (V,E) be a simple, finite, undirected graph. Let k, r be positive integers. A set S V (G). A partition of V(G) is called (k,r) - semi strongly stable set if |Nr (u) S| ≤ k, for all u Є V(G). A partition of V(G) into (k, r) - semi strongly stable sets is called (k, r) - semi strong coloring of G. The minimum order of a (k, r) - semi strong coloring of G is called (k, r) - semi strong chromatic number of G and it is denoted by Xs(k,r)(G). The number Xs(k,r)(G) is determined for various known graphs and some bounds are obtained for it.
