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…

\qquad A \emph{coloring} of a digraph $D=(V,E)$ is a coloring of its vertices following the rule: Let $uv$ be an arc in $D$. If the tail $u$ is colored first, then the head $v$ should receive a color different from that of $u$. The…

A graph G is distinguished if its vertices are labelled by a map \phi: V(G) \longrightarrow {1,2,...,k} so that no graph automorphism preserves \phi. The distinguishing number of G is the minimum number k necessary for \phi to distinguish…

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring developed recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. In this paper we introduce and study the fractional DP-chromatic number $\chi_{DP}^\ast(G)$. We…

The distinguishing number (index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The lexicographic product of…

In this paper uniquely list colorable graphs are studied. A graph G is called to be uniquely k-list colorable if it admits a k-list assignment from which G has a unique list coloring. The minimum k for which G is not uniquely k-list…

For a graph $G$ and a positive integer $k$, a vertex labelling $f:V(G)\to\{1,2\ldots,k\}$ is said to be $k$-distinguishing if no non-trivial automorphism of $G$ preserves the sets $f^{-1}(i)$ for each $i\in\{1,\ldots,k\}$. The…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $\mathcal{L}_k$ be an arbitrary function that assigns each vertex in $G$ a list of $k$ colours. Then $G$ is $\mathcal{L}_k$-list colourable if there exists a proper colouring of the vertices of $G$…

Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer and let $G$ be a nonempty simple graph. An \emph{edge-$k$-coloring} $\varphi$ of $G$ is an assignment of colors from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ to the edges of $G$ such that no two adjacent edges receive the same color.…

A graph $G$ is equitably $k$-list arborable if for any $k$-uniform list assignment $L$, there is an equitable $L$-colouring of $G$ whose each colour class induces an acyclic graph. The smallest number $k$ admitting such a coloring is named…

We introduce the {\it endomorphism distinguishing number} $D_e(G)$ of a graph $G$ as the least cardinal $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex coloring with $d$ colors that is only preserved by the trivial endomorphism. This generalizes the notion…

List packing is a notion that was introduced in 2021 (by Cambie et al.). The list packing number of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_{\ell}^*(G)$, is the least $k$ such that for any list assignment $L$ that assigns $k$ colors to each vertex of…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a vertex coloring of $G$ with a set of $d$ colors which breaks all of the automorphisms of $G$ but the identity. We call the minimum $d$ for which a graph $G$ is $d$-distinguishiable…
