Let $c:V\cup E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ be a proper total colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. We say vertices $u,v\in V$ are sum distinguished if $c(u)+\sum_{e\ni u}c(e)\neq c(v)+\sum_{e\ni v}c(e)$. By…

Inspired by the phenomenon of co-channel interference in communication network, a novel graph parameter, called $r$-vertex-strongly-distinguishing total coloring (abbreviate as $D(r)$-VSDTC), is proposed in this paper. Given a graph $G$, an…

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…

For $k \geq 1$ and a graph $G$ let $\nu_k(G)$ denote the size of a maximum $k$-edge-colorable subgraph of $G$. Mkrtchyan, Petrosyan and Vardanyan proved that $\nu_2(G)\geq \frac45\cdot |V(G)|$, $\nu_3(G)\geq \frac76\cdot |V(G)|$ for any…

Let $T$ be a tree with $t$ edges. We show that the number of isomorphic (labeled) copies of $T$ in a graph $G = (V,E)$ of minimum degree at least $t$ is at least \[2|E| \prod_{v \in V} (d(v) - t + 1)^{\frac{(t-1)d(v)}{2|E|}}.\]…

Let $c:V\cup E\to\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ be a (not necessarily proper) total colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Two vertices $u,v\in V$ are sum distinguished if they differ with respect to sums of their incident colours,…

For an edge-colored graph $G$, the minimum color degree of $G$ means the minimum number of colors on edges which are adjacent to each vertex of $G$. We prove that if $G$ is an edge-colored graph with minimum color degree at least $5$ then…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph. $G$ is a circulant graph defined on $V=\mathbb{Z}_n$ with difference set $D\subseteq \{1,2,\ldots,\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor\}$ provided two vertices $i$ and $j$ in $\mathbb{Z}_n$ are adjacent if…

A $vi$-simultaneous proper $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of all vertices and incidences of the graph in which any two adjacent or incident elements in the set $V(G)\cup I(G)$ receive distinct colors, where $I(G)$ is the set of…

We consider undirected simple finite graphs. The sets of vertices and edges of a graph $G$ are denoted by $V(G)$ and $E(G)$, respectively. For a graph $G$, we denote by $\delta(G)$ and $\eta(G)$ the least degree of a vertex of $G$ and the…

A dynamic coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring such that for every vertex $v\in V(G)$ of degree at least 2, the neighbors of $v$ receive at least 2 colors. It was conjectured [B. Montgomery. {\em Dynamic coloring of graphs}. PhD…
