A b-coloring of a graph is a proper coloring of its vertices such that each color class contains a vertex adjacent to at least one vertex of every other color class. The b-chromatic number of a graph is the largest integer k such that the graph has a b-coloring with k colors. In this work we present lower bounds for the b-chromatic number of a vertex-deleted subgraph of a graph, particularly regarding two important classes, claw-free graphs and chordal graphs. We also get bounds for the b-chromatic number of G - {x}, when G is a graph with large girth. (C) 2021 Published by Elsevier B.V.
