We say a proper coloring of a graph is distance-$k$ fall if every vertex is within distance $k$ of at least one vertex of every color. We show that if $G$ is a connected graph of order at least $3$ that is $3$-colorable, thenit has a…
Given a graph $G$ and a non-decreasing sequence $S=(a_1,a_2,\ldots)$ of positive integers, the mapping $f:V(G) \rightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$ is an $S$-packing $k$-coloring of $G$ if for any distinct vertices $u,v\in V(G)$ with $f(u)=f(v)=i$…
For a fixed positive integer $t$, we consider the graph colouring problem in which edges at distance at most $t$ are given distinct colours. We obtain sharp lower bounds for the distance-$t$ chromatic index, the least number of colours…
A proper edge-coloring of a graph is an interval coloring if the labels on the edges incident to any vertex form an interval of consecutive integers. Interval thickness s(G) of a graph G is the smallest number of interval colorable graphs…
An interval t-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring of G with colors 1,2,...,t such that at least one edge of G is colored by i, i=1,2,...,t, and the edges incident to each vertex v\in V(G) are colored by d_{G}(v) consecutive…
Let n>0 be a number. Let Gn be the graph on n-dimensional Euclidean space connecting points of rational distance. It is consistent with the choiceless theory ZF+DC that Gn has countable chromatic number yet Gn+1 does not.
A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Gy\'arf\'as, and Pyber says that in any edge-colouring of a complete graph with r colours, it is possible to cover all the vertices with r vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles. So far, this conjecture has been…
An ordered graph $G$ is a graph together with a specified linear ordering on the vertices, and its interval chromatic number is the minimum number of independent sets consisting of consecutive vertices that are needed to partition the…
We consider the following extension of the concept of adjacent strong edge colourings of graphs without isolated edges. Two distinct vertices which are at distant at most $r$ in a graph are called $r$-adjacent. The least number of colours…
An edge-colored graph $G$ is called properly colored if every two adjacent edges are assigned different colors. A monochromatic triangle is a cycle of length 3 with all the edges having the same color. Given a tree $T_0$, let…
We consider two graph colouring problems in which edges at distance at most $t$ are given distinct colours, for some fixed positive integer $t$. We obtain two upper bounds for the distance-$t$ chromatic index, the least number of colours…
A linear coloring of a graph is a proper coloring of the vertices of the graph so that each pair of color classes induce a union of disjoint paths. In this paper, we prove that for every connected graph with maximum degree at most three and…
A collection of graphs is \textit{nearly disjoint} if every pair of them intersects in at most one vertex. We prove that if $G_1, \dots, G_m$ are nearly disjoint graphs of maximum degree at most $D$, then the following holds. For every…
For two graphs, $G$, and $H$, an edge-coloring of a complete graph is $(G,H)$-good if there is no monochromatic subgraph isomorphic to $G$ and no rainbow subgraph isomorphic to $H$ in this coloring. The set of number of colors used by some…
The packing chromatic number $\chi_{\rho}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest integer $p$ such that vertices of $G$ can be partitioned into disjoint classes $X_{1}, ..., X_{p}$ where vertices in $X_{i}$ have pairwise distance greater than…
The Hales-Jewett theorem states that for any $m$ and $r$ there exists an $n$ such that any $r$-colouring of the elements of $[m]^n$ contains a monochromatic combinatorial line. We study the structure of the wildcard set $S \subseteq [n]$…
For a non-decreasing sequence $S=(s_1,s_2,\ldots)$ of positive integers, a partition of the vertex set of a graph $G$ into subsets $X_1,\ldots, X_\ell$, such that vertices in $X_i$ are pairwise at distance greater than $s_i$ for every…
