Many combinatorial problems can be formulated as "Can I transform configuration 1 into configuration 2, if certain transformations only are allowed?". An example of such a question is: given two k-colourings of a graph, can I transform the…

Given a family $\mathcal G$ of graphs on a common vertex set $X$, we say that $\mathcal G$ is rainbow connected if for every vertex pair $u,v \in X$, there exists a path from $u$ to $v$ that uses at most one edge from each graph in…
A path in an edge-colored graph is called a \emph{rainbow path} if all edges on it have pairwise distinct colors. For $k\geq 1$, the \emph{rainbow-$k$-connectivity} of a graph $G$, denoted $rc_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required…
A subgraph of an edge-colored graph is called \emph{rainbow} if all of its edges have distinct colors. There has been much research on the topic of finding a large rainbow matching in a properly edge-colored graph, where a proper…
