An edge-coloured path is monochromatic if all of its edges have the same colour. For a $k$-connected graph $G$, the monochromatic $k$-connection number of $G$, denoted by $mc_k(G)$, is the maximum number of colours in an edge-colouring of…
Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph. We use $e(G)$ and $c(G)$ to denote the number of edges of $G$ and the number of colors appearing on $E(G)$, respectively. For a vertex $v\in V(G)$, the \emph{color neighborhood} of $v$ is defined as the set…
In this note we examine the following random graph model: for an arbitrary graph $H$, with quadratic many edges, construct a graph $G$ by randomly adding $m$ edges to $H$ and randomly coloring the edges of $G$ with $r$ colors. We show that…
For a given $\delta \in (0,1)$, the randomly perturbed graph model is defined as the union of any $n$-vertex graph $G_0$ with minimum degree $\delta n$ and the binomial random graph $\mathbf{G}(n,p)$ on the same vertex set. Moreover, we say…
An edge-colored graph $G$ is \emph{conflict-free connected} if any two of its vertices are connected by a path, which contains a color used on exactly one of its edges. The \emph{conflict-free connection number} of a connected graph $G$,…
Given a graph $G$ and a coloring of its edges, a subgraph of $G$ is called rainbow if its edges have distinct colors. The rainbow girth of an edge coloring of G is the minimum length of a rainbow cycle in G. A generalization of the famous…
An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. For a given positive integer $n$ and a family of graphs $\mathcal{G}$, the anti-Ramsey number $ar(n, \mathcal{G})$ is the smallest number of…
An edge-coloured cycle is rainbow if the edges have distinct colours. Let $G$ be a graph such that any $k$ vertices lie in a cycle of $G$. The $k$-rainbow cycle index of $G$, denoted by $crx_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colours required…
A {\it rainbow matching} in an edge-colored graph is a matching in which all the edges have distinct colors. Wang asked if there is a function f(\delta) such that a properly edge-colored graph G with minimum degree \delta and order at least…
In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of…
A path in an edge-colored graph is called a rainbow path if every two distinct edges of the path have different colors. A graph whose every pair of vertices are linked by a rainbow path is called a rainbow-connected graph. The rainbow…
Let $f(n,p,q)$ be the minimum number of colors necessary to color the edges of $K_n$ so that every $K_p$ is at least $q$-colored. We improve current bounds on the {7/4}n-3$, slightly improving the bound of Axenovich. We make small…
A path in an edge-colored graph is called a proper path if no two adjacent edges of the path receive the same color. For a connected graph $G$, the proper connection number $pc(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the minimum number of colors needed to…
A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"{a}ggkvist (CHC) states that a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and minimum outdegree at least $r$ has a directed cycle of length at most $\lceil \frac{n}{r}\rceil$. In 2017, Aharoni proposed the…
A {\it 2-rainbow domination function} of a graph $G$ is a function $f$ that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set $\{1,2\}$, such that for any $v\in V(G)$, $f(v)=\emptyset$ implies $\bigcup_{u\in N(v)}f(u)=\{1,2\}$. The…
Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, let $f(G,H)$ denote the maximum number $c$ for which there is a way to color the edges of $G$ with $c$ colors such that every subgraph $H$ of $G$ has at least two edges of the same color. Equivalently, any…
A spanning tree of an edge-colored graph is rainbow provided that each of its edges receives a distinct color. In this paper we consider the natural extremal problem of maximizing and minimizing the number of rainbow spanning trees in a…
A path in a vertex-colored graph is a {\it vertex-proper path} if any two internal adjacent vertices differ in color. A vertex-colored graph is {\it proper vertex $k$-connected} if any two vertices of the graph are connected by $k$ disjoint…
Given two graphs $G$ and $H$, the Ramsey number $R(G,H)$ is the minimum integer $N$ such that any coloring of the edges of $K_N$ in red or blue yields a red $G$ or a blue $H$. Let $v(G)$ be the number of vertices of $G$ and $\chi(G)$ be the…
For an edge-colored graph $G$, we call an edge-cut $M$ of $G$ monochromatic if the edges of $M$ are colored with the same color. The graph $G$ is called monochromatic disconnected if any two distinct vertices of $G$ are separated by a…
