An edge-colored graph $G$ is called \textit{rainbow} if every edge of $G$ receives a different color. Given any host graph $G$, the \textit{anti-Ramsey} number of $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees in $G$, denoted by $r(G,t)$, is…
For a graph with colored vertices, a rainbow subgraph is one where all vertices have different colors. For graph $G$, let $c_k(G)$ denote the maximum number of different colors in a coloring without a rainbow path on $k$ vertices, and…
In the last years, connection concepts such as rainbow connection and proper connection appeared in graph theory and obtained a lot of attention. In this paper, we investigate the loose edge-connection of graphs. A connected edge-coloured…
Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph. A rainbow (heterochromatic, or multicolored) path of $G$ is such a path in which no two edges have the same color. Let the color degree of a vertex $v$ be the number of different colors that are used on the…
A path in a total-colored graph is called \emph{total rainbow} if its edges and internal vertices have distinct colors. For an $\ell$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k \leq\ell$, the \emph{total rainbow $k$-connection…
A rainbow matching in an edge-coloured graph is a matching such that its edges have distinct colours. We show that every properly edge-coloured graph $G$ with $|G| \ge (9\delta(G) -5)/2$ has a rainbow matching of size $\delta(G)$, improving…
A rainbow matching in an edge-colored graph is a matching in which no two edges have the same color. The color degree of a vertex v is the number of different colors on edges incident to v. Kritschgau [Electron. J. Combin. 27(2020)] studied…
For a connected graph $G$, the \emph{rainbow connection number $rc(G)$} of a graph $G$ was introduced by Chartrand et al. In "Chakraborty et al., Hardness and algorithms for rainbow connection, J. Combin. Optim. 21(2011), 330--347",…
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 $G$,…
A classical result of Corr\'adi and Hajnal states that every graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with $n\in 3\mathbb{N}$ and $\delta(G) \ge 2n/3$ contains a perfect triangle-tiling, i.e.,\ a spanning set of vertex-disjoint triangles. We explore a…
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…
An edge subset \( S \subseteq E(G) \) is called a 3-restricted edge-cut if $G-S$ is disconnected and each component of \( G - S \) contains at least three vertices. The 3-restricted edge-connectivity of a graph \( G \), denoted by \(…
Given a graph $H$, we say that an edge-coloured graph $G$ is $H$-rainbow saturated if it does not contain a rainbow copy of $H$, but the addition of any non-edge in any colour creates a rainbow copy of $H$. The rainbow saturation number…
An edge-colored graph is \emph{rainbow }if no two edges of the graph have the same color. An edge-colored graph $G^c$ is called \emph{properly colored} if every two adjacent edges of $G^c$ receive distinct colors in $G^c$. A \emph{strongly…
An edge-colored graph $G$ is called rainbow if every edge of $G$ receives a different color. The anti-Ramsey number of $t$ edge-disjoint rainbow spanning trees, denoted by $r(n,t)$, is defined as the maximum number of colors in an…
Let $G$ be a connected graph. The \emph{rainbow connection number $rc(G)$} of a graph $G$ was recently introduced by Chartrand et al. Li et al. proved that for every bridgeless graph $G$ with diameter 2, $rc(G)\leq 5$. They gave examples…
For a given graph $H$ we define $\rho(H)$ to be the minimum order of a graph $G$ such that every proper vertex coloring of $G$ contains a rainbow induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. We give upper and lower bounds for $\rho(H)$, compute the…
In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S of V is called a dominating set in G if every vertex in V is dominated by at least one vertex in S. The domination number gamma G is the minimum cardinality of a…
In this short note, we present a purely entropic proof that in a $3$-edge-colored simple graph with $R$ red edges, $G$ green edges, and $B$ blue edges, the number of rainbow triangles is at most $\sqrt{2RGB}$.
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…
