An antimagic labeling of a graph $G(V,E)$ is a bijection $f: E \to \{1,2, \dots, |E|\}$ so that $\sum_{e \in E(u)} f(e) \neq \sum_{e \in E(v)} f(e)$ holds for all $u, v \in V(G)$ with $u \neq v$, where $E(v)$ is the set of edges incident to…

One of Erdos's conjectures states that every triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices has an induced subgraph on $n/2$ vertices with at most $n^2/50$ edges. We report several partial results towards this conjecture. In particular, we establish…

In a recent work, Keusch proved the so-called 1-2-3 Conjecture, raised by Karo\'nski, {\L}uczak, and Thomason in 2004: for every connected graph different from $K_2$, we can assign labels~$1,2,3$ to the edges so that no two adjacent…

We prove a vertex domination conjecture of Erd\H os, Faudree, Gould, Gy\'arf\'as, Rousseau, and Schelp, that for every n-vertex complete graph with edges coloured using three colours there exists a set of at most three vertices which have…

Hadwiger's famous coloring conjecture states that every $t$-chromatic graph contains a $K_t$-minor. Holroyd [Bull. London Math. Soc. 29, (1997), pp. 139--144] conjectured the following strengthening of Hadwiger's conjecture: If $G$ is a…

An injective colouring of a graph is a colouring in which every two vertices sharing a common neighbour receive a different colour. Chen, Hahn, Raspaud and Wang conjectured that every planar graph of maximum degree $\Delta \ge 3$ admits an…

Kostochka and Woodall (2001) conjectured that the square of every graph has the same chromatic number and list chromatic number. In 2015 Kim and Park disproved this conjecture for non-bipartite and bipartite graphs. It was asked by several…

Let $G$ be a graph with $m$ edges and let $f$ be a bijection from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2, \dots, m\}$. For any vertex $v$, denote by $\phi_f(v)$ the sum of $f(e)$ over all edges $e$ incident to $v$. If $\phi_f(v) \neq \phi_f(u)$ holds for any two…

Given integers $m\le c$ and an exact $c$-coloring of the edges of a complete countably infinite graph (i.e. a coloring that uses exactly $c$ colors), must there be an infinite subgraph that is exactly $m$-colored? Using the Infinite Ramsey…

A supermagic labeling (often also called supermagic labeling) of a graph $G(V,E)$ with $|E|=k$ is a bijection from $E$ to the set of first $k$ positive integers such that the sum of labels of all incident edges of every vertex $x\in V$ is…

An \emph{equitable coloring} of a graph is a proper vertex coloring such that the sizes of every two color classes differ by at most 1. Chen, Lih, and Wu conjectured that every connected graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta \geq 2$ has an…

In 2019, P. Higgins formulated [1] a question about bipartite graphs (see Conjecture 1 below); this question arises in the study of regular finite semigroups. F. V. Petrov formulated [2] another combinatorial conjecture (Conjecture 3);…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called proper if no two consecutive 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 magic labeling of a graph is a labeling of the edges by nonnegative integers such that the label sum over the edges incident to every vertex is the same. This common label sum is known as the index. We count magic labelings by maximum…
