The rainbow arborescence conjecture posits that if the arcs of a directed graph with $n$ vertices are colored by $n-1$ colors such that each color class forms a spanning arborescence, then there is a spanning arborescence that contains…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be an $n$-vertex edge-colored graph. In 2013, H. Li proved that if every vertex $v \in V$ is incident to at least $(n+1)/2$ distinctly colored edges, then $G$ admits a rainbow triangle. We prove that the same hypothesis…

A tree in an edge-colored graph $G$ is said to be a rainbow tree if no two edges on the tree share the same color. Given two positive integers $k$, $\ell$ with $k\geq 3$, the \emph{$(k,\ell)$-rainbow index} $rx_{k,\ell}(G)$ of $G$ is the…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring $c:E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,\ldots,q\},$ $q\in \mathbb{N}$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree $T$ in $G$ is called a $rainbow~tree$ if no two edges of $T$ receive…

This paper continues the study of a new variant of graph coloring with a connectivity constraint recently introduced by Hsieh et al. [COCOON 2024]. A path in a vertex-colored graph is called conflict-free if there is a color that appears…

We call an edge-colored graph rainbow if all of its edges receive distinct colors. An edge-colored graph $\Gamma$ is called $H$-rainbow saturated if $\Gamma$ does not contain a rainbow copy of $H$ and adding an edge of any color to $\Gamma$…

A graph is said to be {\it total-colored} if all the edges and the vertices of the graph is colored. A path in a total-colored graph is a {\it total proper path} if $(i)$ any two adjacent edges on the path differ in color, $(ii)$ any two…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored connected graph. A path $P$ in $G$ is called a distance $\ell$-proper path if no two edges of the same color appear with fewer than $\ell$ edges in between on $P$. The graph $G$ is called $(k,\ell)$-proper…

We prove several results on approximate decompositions of edge-coloured quasirandom graphs into rainbow spanning structures. More precisely, we say that an edge-colouring of a graph is locally $\ell$-bounded if no vertex is incident to more…

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…

A path $P$ in an edge-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of the edges of $P$. An edge-colored graph $G$ is called \emph{conflict-free connected} if for each pair of distinct vertices…

A weighted coloured-edge graph is a graph for which each edge is assigned both a positive weight and a discrete colour, and can be used to model transportation and computer networks in which there are multiple transportation modes. In such…

Let $G = (V,E)$ be an $n$-vertex graph and let $c: E \to \mathbb{N}$ be a coloring of its edges. Let $d^c(v)$ be the number of distinct colors on the edges at $v \in V$ and let $\delta^c(G) = \min_{v \in V} \{ d^{c}(v) \}$. H. Li proved…

A path in an edge-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of its edges. An edge-colored graph is called \emph{conflict-free connected} if there is a conflict-free path between each pair…

A vertex $v$ of a given graph $G$ is said to be in a rainbow neighbourhood of $G$, with respect to a proper coloring $C$ of $G$, if the closed neighbourhood $N[v]$ of the vertex $v$ consists of at least one vertex from every colour class of…

A path $P$ in an edge-colored graph $G$ is called \emph{a proper path} if no two adjacent edges of $P$ are colored the same, and $G$ is \emph{proper connected} if every two vertices of $G$ are connected by a proper path in $G$. The…

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 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 conflict-free connection number of a connected graph $G$, denoted by…

In a rainbow version of the classical Tur\'an problem one considers multiple graphs on a common vertex set, thinking of each graph as edges in a distinct color, and wants to determine the minimum number of edges in each color which…

The use of algebraic techniques to solve combinatorial problems is studied in this paper. We formulate the rainbow connectivity problem as a system of polynomial equations. We first consider the case of two colors for which the problem is…
