Summary: For any \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), the \(n\)-subdivision of a graph \(G\) is a simple graph \(G^\frac{1}{n}\) which is constructed by replacing each edge of \(G\) with a path of length \(n\). The \(m\)-th power of \(G\) is a graph, denoted by \(G^m\), with the same vertices of \(G\), where two vertices of \(G^m\) are adjacent if and only if their distance in \(G\) is at most \(m\). In [\textit{M. N. Iradmusa}, Discrete Math. 310, No. 10--11, 1551--1556 (2010; Zbl 1214.05027)] the \(m\)-th power of the \(n\)-subdivision of \(G\), denoted by \(G^{\frac{m}{n}}\) is introduced as a fractional power of \(G\). The incidence chromatic number of \(G\), denoted by \(\chi_i (G)\), is the minimum integer \(k\) such that \(G\) has an incidence \(k\)-coloring. In this paper, we investigate the incidence chromatic number of some fractional powers of graphs and prove the correctness of the incidence coloring conjecture for some powers of graphs.
