A disproof of a gap-one conjecture for the equitable chromatic number of block graphs
For a graph $G$, let $L(G)=\max\{\omega(G),\lceil (|V(G)|+1)/(\alpha_{\min}(G)+1)\rceil\}$, where $\omega(G)$ is the clique number and $\alpha_{\min}(G)$ is the minimum, over all vertices $v$, of the largest size of an independent set containing $v$.
