For a graph $G$ and $t,k\in\mathbb{Z}^+$ a \emph{$t$-tone $k$-coloring} of $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\rightarrow \binom{[k]}{t}$ such that $|f(v)\cap f(w)| < d(v,w)$ for all distinct $v,w \in V(G)$. The \emph{$t$-tone chromatic number} of…

For a given $\varepsilon > 0$, we say that a graph $G$ is $\varepsilon$-flexibly $k$-choosable if the following holds: for any assignment $L$ of color lists of size $k$ on $V(G)$, if a preferred color from a list is requested at any set $R$…

For a positive integer $k$ and graph $G=(V,E)$, a $k$-colouring of $G$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The $k$-Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$, whether a…

In this paper, we consider a weighted generalization of the chromatic number of a Binomial random graph~\(G.\) We equip each edge with a random weight and then colour the vertices in such a way that the absolute colour difference between…

A normal $k$-edge-coloring of a cubic graph is an edge-coloring with $k$ colors having the additional property that when looking at the set of colors assigned to any edge $e$ and the four edges adjacent it, we have either exactly five…

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…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. We denote by $\mathcal G_{\text{$k$-out}}(G)$ the probability space consisting of subgraphs of $G$ where each vertex $v\in V(G)$ randomly picks $k$ neighbors from…

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, the $k$-forcing number of $G$, denoted $F_k(G)$, is the minimum number of vertices that need to be initially colored so that all vertices eventually become colored during the…

We examine $t$-colourings of oriented graphs in which, for a fixed integer $k \geq 1$, vertices joined by a directed path of length at most $k$ must be assigned different colours. A homomorphism model that extends the ideas of Sherk for the…

We study a model of random graph where vertices are $n$ i.i.d. uniform random points on the unit sphere $S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, and a pair of vertices is connected if the Euclidean distance between them is at least $2- \epsilon$. We…

Given a graph $G$ and a natural number $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-colourings of $G$ and whose edges link pairs of colourings which differ at exactly one vertex of $G$. Recently,…

Assume $k$ is a positive integer, $\lambda=\{k_1, k_2, \ldots, k_q\}$ is a partition of $k$ and $G$ is a graph. A $\lambda$-list assignment of $G$ is a $k$-list assignment $L$ of $G$ such that the colour set $\cup_{v\in V(G)}L(v)$ can be…

A proper vertex-coloring of a graph is $r$-dynamic if the neighbors of each vertex $v$ receive at least $\min(r, \mathrm{deg}(v))$ different colors. In this note, we prove that if $G$ has a strong $2$-coloring number at most $k$, then $G$…

For any fixed surface Sigma of genus g, we give an algorithm to decide whether a graph G of girth at least five embedded in Sigma is colorable from an assignment of lists of size three in time O(|V(G)|). Furthermore, we can allow a subgraph…

This paper presents three main results on coloring discrete $d$-pseudomanifolds: $(1)$ the general chromatic bounds $d+1 \leq X(K) \leq 2d+2$ for any $d$-pseudomanifold $K$; $(2)$ an improved bound $X(K) \leq 2d+1$ for pseudomanifolds…

For an integer $r>0$, a conditional $(k,r)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper $k$-coloring of the vertices of $G$ such that every vertex $v$ of degree $d(v)$ in $G$ is adjacent to vertices with at least $min\{r, d(v)\}$ different colors.…

List colouring is an influential and classic topic in graph theory. We initiate the study of a natural strengthening of this problem, where instead of one list-colouring, we seek many in parallel. Our explorations have uncovered a…

In the paper we state and prove theorem describing the upper bound on number of the graphs that have fixed number of vertices |V| and can be colored with the fixed number of n colors. The bound relates both numbers using power of 2, while…
