We show that the edges of every 3-connected planar graph except $K_4$ can be colored with two colors in such a way that the graph has no color preserving automorphisms. Also, we characterize all graphs which have the property that their…

An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing, if the only automorphism which preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing…

Given a coloring of the k-element subsets of an uncountable separable metric space, we show that there exists an infinite monochromatic subset which contains its limit point.

Given a perfect coloring of a graph, we prove that the $L_1$ distance between two rows of the adjacency matrix of the graph is not less than the $L_1$ distance between the corresponding rows of the parameter matrix of the coloring. With the…

An edge-coloring of a multigraph $G$ with colors $1,\ldots,t$ is called an interval $t$-coloring if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to any vertex of $G$ are distinct and form an interval of integers. In this note, we…

\textit{A star edge coloring} of a graph is a proper edge coloring without bichromatic paths and cycles of length four. In this paper we establish tight upper bounds for trees and subcubic outerplanar graphs, and derive an upper bound for…

A proper coloring of a graph is odd if every non-isolated vertex has some color that appears an odd number of times on its neighborhood. This notion was recently introduced by Petru\v{s}evski and \v{S}krekovski, who proved that every planar…

A $2$-distance $k$-coloring of a graph is a proper $k$-coloring of the vertices where vertices at distance at most 2 cannot share the same color. We prove the existence of a $2$-distance ($\Delta+1$)-coloring for graphs with maximum average…

In this paper we study threshold coloring of graphs, where the vertex colors represented by integers are used to describe any spanning subgraph of the given graph as follows. Pairs of vertices with near colors imply the edge between them is…

A colouring of a graph is "nonrepetitive" if for every path of even order, the sequence of colours on the first half of the path is different from the sequence of colours on the second half. We show that planar graphs have nonrepetitive…

The classical theorem of Vizing states that every graph of maximum degree $d$ admits an edge-coloring with at most $d+1$ colors. Furthermore, as it was earlier shown by K\H{o}nig, $d$ colors suffice if the graph is bipartite. We investigate…

A strong odd coloring of a simple graph $G$ is a proper coloring of the vertices of $G$ such that for every vertex $v$ and every color $c$, either $c$ is used an odd number of times in the open neighborhood $N_G(v)$ or no neighbor of $v$ is…

Let $X$ be a Polish space with Borel probability measure $\mu,$ and let $G$ be a Borel graph on $X$ with no odd cycles and maximum degree $\Delta(G).$ We show that the Baire measurable edge chromatic number of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+1$,…

In this note, we provide a proof of a technical result of Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal about the existence of disjoint type graphs with no odd cycles. We also prove that this result is sharp in a certain sense.

We prove that a distance-regular graph with intersection array {56,36,9;1,3,48} does not exist. This intersection array is from the table of feasible parameters for distance-regular graphs in "Distance-regular graphs"\ by A.E. Brouwer, A.M.…

We show that the strong odd chromatic number on any proper minor-closed graph class is bounded by a constant. We almost determine the smallest such constant for outerplanar graphs.

A $2$-distance $k$-coloring of a graph is a proper $k$-coloring of the vertices where vertices at distance at most 2 cannot share the same color. We prove the existence of a $2$-distance ($\Delta+2$)-coloring for graphs with maximum average…

Let $X$ be a (repetitive) infinite connected simple graph with a finite upper bound $\Delta$ on the vertex degrees. The main theorem states that $X$ admits a (repetitive) limit aperiodic vertex coloring by $\Delta$ colors. This refines a…

In this paper we find chromatic numbers of distance graphs $G(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many n. Also we improve upper bound for $\chi(G(n,r,s))$ in large part of cases.

For an integer $q\ge 2$ and an even integer $d$, consider the graph obtained from a large complete $q$-ary tree by connecting with an edge any two vertices at distance exactly $d$ in the tree. This graph has clique number $q+1$, and the…
