Let $H\xrightarrow{s} G$ denote that any edge-coloring of $H$ by $s$ colors contains a monochromatic $G$. The degree Ramsey number $r_{\Delta}(G;s)$ is defined to be $\min\{\Delta(H):H\xrightarrow{s} G\}$, and the degree bipartite Ramsey…

Let H be an r-partite r-graph, all of whose sides have the same size n. Suppose that there exist two sides of H, each satisfying the following condition: the degree of each legal (r-1)-tuple contained in the complement of this side is…

A simple graph $G$ is \emph{overfull} if $|E(G)|>\Delta\lfloor|V(G)|/2\rfloor$. By the pigeonhole principle, every overfull graph $G$ has $\chi'(G)>\Delta$. The \emph{core} of a graph, denoted $G_\Delta$, is the subgraph induced by its…

Given an $(r + 1)$-chromatic graph $H$, the fundamental edge stability result of Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits says that all $n$-vertex $H$-free graphs have at most $(1 - 1/r + o(1)) \binom{n}{2}$ edges, and any $H$-free graph with that many…

Let $G$ be a $q$-regular bipartite graph with bipartition $(U,V)$. It was proved by Lu, Wang, and Yan in 2020 that $G$ has a spanning subgraph $H$ such that each vertex of $U$ has degree 1 in $H$, and each vertex of $V$ has degree distinct…

The distinguishing chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_D(G)$, is the minimum number of colours in a proper vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved by the identity automorphism only. Collins and Trenk proved that $\chi_D(G)\le…

For a given multigraph H, a graph G is H-linked, if |G| \geq |H| and for every injective map {\tau}: V (H) \rightarrow V (G), we can find internally disjoint paths in G, such that every edge from uv in H corresponds to a {\tau} (u) - {\tau}…

The \textit{minimum positive co-degree} of a non-empty $r$-graph $H$, denoted $\delta_{r-1}^+(H)$, is the largest integer $k$ such that if a set $S \subset V(H)$ of size $r-1$ is contained in at least one $r$-edge of $H$, then $S$ is…

In 1973, Erd\H{o}s and Simonovits asked whether every $n$-vertex triangle-free graph with minimum degree greater than $1/3 \cdot n$ is 3-colourable. This question initiated the study of the chromatic profile of triangle-free graphs: for…

For graphs $G$ and $H$, a homomorphism from $G$ to $H$, or $H$-coloring of $G$, is a map from the vertices of $G$ to the vertices of $H$ that preserves adjacency. When $H$ is composed of an edge with one looped endvertex, an $H$-coloring of…

The star chromatic index $\chi_s'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of the graph so that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored. We obtain a near-linear upper bound in terms of the…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of finding {\it bisections} (i.e., balanced bipartitions) in graphs. We prove the following two results for {\it all} graphs $G$: (1). $G$ has a bisection where each vertex $v$ has at least $(1/4 -…

Let $r \geqslant 0$ and $k \geqslant 1$ be integers. We say that a graph $G$ has an $r$-equitable $k$-coloring if there exists a proper $k$-coloring of $G$ such that the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most $r$. The least $k$…

The chromatic edge stability index $\mathrm{es}_{\chi'}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal results in a graph with smaller chromatic index. We give best-possible upper bounds on $\mathrm{es}_{\chi'}(G)$ in terms…

A well-known theorem of Vizing states that if $G$ is a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, then the chromatic index $\chi'(G)$ of $G$ is $\Delta$ or $\Delta+1$. A graph $G$ is class 1 if $\chi'(G)=\Delta$, and class 2 if…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with order $n$, maximum degree $\Delta(G)$, and chromatic index $\chi'(G)$, respectively. A graph $G$ is edge-chromatic critical if $\chi'(H)<\chi'(G)$ for every proper subgraph $H$ of $G$. Assume that $G$ is an…

An edge coloring of a graph $G$ is called conflict-free if, for every edge, its closed neighborhood contains a color that appears exactly once. The least number of colors required for such a coloring is the conflict-free chromatic index of…

A typical Dirac-type problem in extremal graph theory is to determine the minimum degree threshold for a graph $G$ to have a spanning subgraph $H$, e.g. the Dirac theorem. A natural following up problem would be to seek an $H$-factor, which…

Let $H$ be a graph and let $\delta_{\chi}(H,r)$ denote the infimum of $c$ such that every $H$-free graph with minimum degree at least $cn$ is $r$-colorable. The \textit{chromatic profile} of $H$ is defined to be the values of…

Given a graph or multigraph $G$, let $\chi'_{trans}(G)$ denote the minimum integer $n$ such that any proper $\chi'(G)$--edge coloring of $G$ can be transformed into any other proper $\chi'(G)$--edge coloring of $G$ by a series of…
