Correspondence coloring, or DP-coloring, is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. In this paper we establish a version of Dirac's theorem on the minimum number of edges in critical graphs in the…

DP-coloring is a generalization of list coloring that was introduced in 2015 by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. The chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$, denoted $P(G,m)$, is equal to the number of proper $m$-colorings of $G$. A well-known tool…

The DP-coloring problem is a generalization of the list-coloring problem in which the goal is to find an independent transversal in a certain topological cover of a graph $G$. In the online DP-coloring problem, the cover of $G$ is revealed…

Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle \cite{DP} introduced a \textit{DP-coloring} of a simple graph as a generalization of a list-coloring. They proved a Brooks' type theorem for a DP-coloring, and Bernshteyn, Kostochka and Pron \cite{BKP} extended it…

The concept of DP-coloring of a graph is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. Multiple DP-coloring of graphs, as a generalization of multiple list coloring, was first studied by Bernshteyn,…

In this paper we consider the following three coloring concepts for digraphs. First of all, the generalized coloring concept, in which the same colored vertices of a digraph induce a subdigraph that satisfies a given digraph property.…

The DP-coloring is a generalization of the list coloring, introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. Let $\mathcal{H}=(L,H)$ be a cover of a graph $G$ and $P_{DP}(G,\mathcal{H})$ be the number of $\mathcal{H}$-colorings of $G$. The DP color…

List colouring is an influential and classic topic in graph theory. We initiate the study of a natural strengthening of this problem, where instead of one list-colouring, we seek many in parallel. Our explorations have uncovered a…

A generalization of list-coloring, now known as DP-coloring, was recently introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. Essentially, DP-coloring assigns an arbitrary matching between lists of colors at adjacent vertices, as opposed to only…

The aim of this note is twofold. On the one hand, we present a streamlined version of Molloy's new proof of the bound $\chi(G) \leq (1+o(1))\Delta(G)/\ln \Delta(G)$ for triangle-free graphs $G$, avoiding the technicalities of the entropy…

A conjecture of Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov states that, for any graph $F$, there is a constant $c_F > 0$ such that if $G$ is an $F$-free graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, then $\chi(G) \leq c_F \Delta / \log\Delta$. Alon, Krivelevich,…

A \textit{distinguishing coloring} of a graph $G$ is a coloring of the vertices so that every nontrivial automorphism of $G$ maps some vertex to a vertex with a different color. The \textit{distinguishing number} of $G$ is the minimum $k$…
