We introduce the algorithmic problem of finding a locally rainbow path of length $\ell$ connecting two distinguished vertices $s$ and $t$ in a vertex-colored directed graph. Herein, a path is locally rainbow if between any two visits of…
Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices and an assignment of colours to its edges, a set of edges $S \subseteq E$ is said to be rainbow if edges from $S$ have pairwise different colours assigned to them. In this paper, we investigate…
An edge-colouring of a graph $G$ can fail to be rainbow for two reasons: either it contains a monochromatic cherry (a pair of incident edges), or a monochromatic matching of size two. A colouring is a proper colouring if it forbids the…
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…
A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"aggkvist is that in a digraph on $n$ vertices and minimum out-degree at least $\frac{n}{r}$ there is a directed cycle of length $r$ or less. We consider the following generalization: in an undirected…
Rainbow coloring is a special case of edge coloring, where there must be at least one path between every distinct pair of vertices that consists of different color edges. Here, we may use the same color for the adjacent edges of a graph…
An edge-colored graph is said to contain a rainbow-$F$ if it contains $F$ as a subgraph and every edge of $F$ is a distinct color. The problem of maximizing edges among $n$-vertex properly edge-colored graphs not containing a rainbow-$F$,…
The concept of monochromatic connectivity was introduced by Caro and Yuster. A path in an edge-colored graph is called a \emph{monochromatic path} if all the edges on the path are colored the same. An edge-coloring of $G$ is a…
A tree in an edge-colored connected graph $G$ is called \emph{a rainbow tree} if no two edges of it are assigned the same color. For a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$, a tree is called an \emph{$S$-tree} if it connects $S$ in $G$. A…
We call a (not necessarily properly) edge-colored graph edge-color-avoiding connected if after the removal of edges of any single color, the graph remains connected. For vertex-colored graphs, similar definitions of color-avoiding…
A labelled, undirected graph is a graph whose edges have assigned labels, from a specific set. Given a labelled, undirected graph, the well-known minimum labelling spanning tree problem is aimed at finding the spanning tree of the graph…
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 path in an(a) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called a conflict-free path if there exists a color used on only one of its edges(vertices). An(A) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called conflict-free (vertex-)connected if for each pair of…
A path in a total-colored graph is called \emph{total rainbow} if its edges and internal vertices have distinct colors. For an $\ell$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k \leq\ell$, the \emph{total rainbow $k$-connection…
A path in an(a) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{a conflict-free path} if there exists a color used on only one of its edges(vertices). An(A) edge(vertex)-colored graph is called \emph{conflict-free (vertex-)connected} if there is…
A tree $T$, in an edge-colored graph $G$, is called {\em a rainbow tree} if no two edges of $T$ are assigned the same color. A {\em $k$-rainbow coloring}of $G$ is an edge coloring of $G$ having the property that for every set $S$ of $k$…
Aharoni and Berger conjectured that in any bipartite multigraph that is properly edge-coloured by $n$ colours with at least $n + 1$ edges of each colour there must be a matching that uses each colour exactly once. In this paper we consider…
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 consider the following random model for edge-colored graphs. A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is fixed, and a random subgraph $G_p$ is chosen by letting each edge of $G$ remain independently with probability $p$. Then, each edge of $G_p$ is…
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…
