Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges, average degree $\delta$, and maximum degree $\Delta$. The "oriented chromatic number" of $G$ is the maximum, taken over all orientations of $G$, of the minimum number of colours in a proper…

We show that it is quasi-NP-hard to color 2-colorable 8-uniform hypergraphs with $2^{(\log N)^{1/10-o(1)}}$ colors, where $N$ is the number of vertices. There has been much focus on hardness of hypergraph coloring recently. Guruswami,…

We show that in any two-coloring of the positive integers there is a color for which the set of positive integers that can be represented as a sum of distinct elements with this color has upper logarithmic density at least $(2+\sqrt{3})/4$…

The size-Ramsey number $\hat{r}(H)$ of a graph $H$ is the smallest number of edges a (host) graph $G$ can have, such that for any red/blue colouring of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H$ in $G$. Recently, Conlon, Nenadov and Truji\'c…

A collection of graphs is \textit{nearly disjoint} if every pair of them intersects in at most one vertex. We prove that if $G_1, \dots, G_m$ are nearly disjoint graphs of maximum degree at most $D$, then the following holds. For every…

A proper colouring of a graph $G$ is $\beta$-frugal if every colour appears at most $\beta$ times in the neighbourhood of each vertex. Let $\chi_\beta(G)$ denote the minimum number of colours needed for a $\beta$-frugal colouring of $G$.…

We prove that for any $k \ge 3$, every $k$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices contains at most $n - \omega(1)$ different sizes of cliques (maximal complete subgraphs). In particular, the 3-uniform case answers a question of Erd\H{o}s.

We show that there exists an absolute constant $A$ such that for each $k\ge2$ and every coloring of the edges of the complete $k$-uniform hypergraph on $ Ar$ vertices with $r$ colors, one of the color classes contains a loose path of length…

In a graph $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ let $\gamma$ denote the largest fraction of edges that can be $\Delta$ edge-coloured. Albertson and Haas showed that $\gamma \geq 13/15$ when $G$ is cubic . We show here that this result can be…

In a connected simple graph G = (V,E), each vertex of V is colored by a color from the set of colors C={c1, c2,..., c_{\alpha}}$. We take a subset S of V, such that for every vertex v in V\S, at least one vertex of the same color is present…

In the $\ell$-Coloring Problem, we are given a graph on $n$ nodes, and tasked with determining if its vertices can be properly colored using $\ell$ colors. In this paper we study below-guarantee graph coloring, which tests whether an…

We study two classical problems in graph Ramsey theory, that of determining the Ramsey number of bounded-degree graphs and that of estimating the induced Ramsey number for a graph with a given number of vertices. The Ramsey number r(H) of a…

We prove that for any graph $G$, the total chromatic number of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+2\left\lceil \frac{|V(G)|}{\Delta(G)+1} \right\rceil$. This saves one color in comparison with a result of Hind from 1992. In particular, our result…

Let $G$ be a graph, $r \geq t$ integers, and $N \subseteq E(G)$. An $(r,t)$-threshold-coloring of $G$ with respect to $N$ is a mapping $c: V(G) \rightarrow \{0,\ldots,r-1\}$ such that $|c(u)-c(v)| \leq t$ for every $uv \in N$ and…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph $H = (V, E)$ is called $\ell$-orientable, if there is an assignment of each edge $e\in E$ to one of its vertices $v\in e$ such that no vertex is assigned more than $\ell$ edges. Let $H_{n,m,k}$ be a hypergraph,…

For a non-decreasing sequence $S=(s_1,s_2,\ldots)$ of positive integers, a partition of the vertex set of a graph $G$ into subsets $X_1,\ldots, X_\ell$, such that vertices in $X_i$ are pairwise at distance greater than $s_i$ for every…

The \emph{chromatic number} of a hypergraph is the smallest number of colors needed to color the vertices such that no edge of at least two vertices is monochromatic. Given a family of geometric objects $\mathcal{F}$ that covers a subset…

The chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$, denoted $P(G,m)$, is equal to the number of proper $m$-colorings of $G$. The list color function of graph $G$, denoted $P_{\ell}(G,m)$, is a list analogue of the chromatic polynomial that has been…

Hajnal and Szemer\'{e}di proved that if $G$ is a finite graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, then for every integer $k \geqslant \Delta+1$, $G$ has a proper coloring with $k$ colors in which every two color classes differ in size at most by…

We consider $m$-colorings of the edges of a complete graph, where each color class is defined semi-algebraically with bounded complexity. The case $m = 2$ was first studied by Alon et al., who applied this framework to obtain surprisingly…
