A majority coloring of a directed graph is a vertex coloring in which each vertex has the same color as at most half of its out-neighbors. In this note we simplify some proof techniques and generalize previously known results on various…
Two vertex colorings of a graph are Kempe equivalent if they can be transformed into each other by a sequence of switchings of two colors of vertices. It is PSPACE-complete to determine whether two given vertex $k$-colorings of a graph are…
We give a characterization of finite sets of triples of elements (e.g., positive integers) that can be colored with two colors such that for every element $i$ in each color class there exists a triple which does not contain $i$. We give a…

We consider a random graph in which vertices can have one of two possible colours. Each vertex switches its colour at a rate that is proportional to the number of vertices of the other colour to which it is connected by an edge. Each edge…

For integers $n\ge 0$, an iterated triangulation $Tr(n)$ is defined recursively as follows: $Tr(0)$ is the plane triangulation on three vertices and, for $n\ge 1$, $Tr(n)$ is the plane triangulation obtained from the plane triangulation…
The graph coloring problem is often investigated in the literature. Many insights about many neighboring solutions with the same fitness value are raised but as far as we know, no deep analysis of this neutrality has ever been conducted in…
For a given number of colors, $s$, the guessing number of a graph is the (base $s$) logarithm of the cardinality of the largest family of colorings of the vertex set of the graph such that the color of each vertex can be determined from the…
Despite the fact that some vertex coloring problems are polynomially solvable on certain graph classes, most of these problems are not "under control" from a polyhedral point of view. The equivalence between \emph{optimization} and…
The applications of graph coloring are diverse and many so lots of new types of coloring are being proposed and explored. Here we define a safe k-coloring, motivated by the application of coloring to secret sharing. Secret sharing is a way…
