A $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of the set of vertices of $G$ into $k$ independent sets, which are called colors. A $k$-coloring is neighbor-locating if any two vertices belonging to the same color can be distinguished from…

The locating-chromatic number of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $n$, such that $G$ has a proper $n$-coloring $c$ and all vertices have different vectors of distances to the colors generated by $c$. We study the asymptotic value of the…

The locating chromatic number of a graph is the smallest integer $n$ such that there is a proper $n$-coloring $c$ and every vertex has a unique vector of distances to colors in $c$. We explore the necessary conditions and provide sufficient…

A graph $G$ is said to be $k$-distinguishable if the vertex set can be colored using $k$ colors such that no non-trivial automorphism fixes every color class, and the distinguishing number $D(G)$ is the least integer $k$ for which $G$ is…

An edge-locating coloring of a simple connected graph $G$ is a partition of its edge set into matchings such that the vertices of $G$ are distinguished by the distance to the matchings. The minimum number of the matchings of $G$ that admits…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called distinguishing (or symmetry breaking) if no non-identity automorphism of $G$ preserves it, and the distinguishing number, shown by $D(G)$, is the smallest number of colors required for such a…

A graph $G$ is called chromatic-choosable if $\chi(G)=ch(G)$. A natural problem is to determine the minimum number of vertices in a $k$-chromatic non-$k$-choosable graph. It was conjectured by Ohba, and proved by Noel, Reed and Wu that…

A complete $k$-coloring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an assignment $\varphi:V\to\{1,\ldots,k\}$ of colors to the vertices such that no two vertices of the same color are adjacent, and the union of any two color classes contains at least one…

The strong chromatic number, $\chi_S(G)$, of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is the smallest number $k$ such that after adding $k\lceil n/k\rceil-n$ isolated vertices to $G$ and considering {\bf any} partition of the vertices of the resulting graph…

Given positive integers $n\ge 2k$, the {\it Kneser graph} $KG_{n,k}$ is a graph whose vertex set is the collection of all $k$-element subsets of the set $\{1,\ldots, n\}$, with edges connecting pairs of disjoint sets. One of the classical…

Given a graph $G$, a coloring $c:V(G)\longrightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that $c(u)=c(v)=i$ implies that vertices $u$ and $v$ are at distance greater than $i$, is called a packing coloring of $G$. The minimum number of colors in a packing…

Let $V$ be a vector space of dimension $v$ over a field of order $q$. The $q$-Kneser graph has the $k$-dimensional subspaces of $V$ as its vertices, where two subspaces $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are adjacent if and only if $\alpha\cap\beta$ is…

Let $G(n, r, s)$ be a graph whose vertices are all $r$-element subsets of an $n$-element set, in which two vertices are adjacent if they intersect in exactly $s$ elements. In this paper we study chromatic numbers of $G(n, r, s)$ with $r, s$…
