Let $A\subset\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a finite set of distances, and let $G_{A}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$ be the graph with vertex set $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and edge set $\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^{n}:\ \|x-y\|_{2}\in A\}$, and let…

In this work, we study the color discrepancy of spanning trees in random graphs. We show that for the Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi random graph $G(n,p)$ with $p$ above the connectivity threshold, the following holds with high probability: in every…

I prove that in a tree in which the distance between any two endpoints is even, there is a maximum proper partial 0-1 coloring such that the edges colored by 0 form a maximum matching.

An equitable tree-$k$-coloring of a graph is a vertex coloring on $k$ colors so that every color class incudes a forest and the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one.This kind of coloring was first introduced in 2013 and can…

The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the structure of a digraph affects its dichromatic number and to extend various results on undirected colouring to digraphs. In the first part of this thesis, we examine how the dichromatic…

For $d > 0$, define $G(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ to be the graph whose set of vertices is the rational space $\mathbb{Q}^3$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are a Euclidean distance $d$ apart. Let $\chi(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ be the…

A graph coloring has bounded clustering if each monochromatic component has bounded size. This paper studies such a coloring, where the number of colors depends on an excluded complete bipartite subgraph. This is a much weaker assumption…

A strong $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is a mapping from $E(G)$ to $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that every pair of distinct edges at distance at most two receive different colors. The strong chromatic index $\chi'_s(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the…

In 1975 Erd\H{o}s initiated the study of the following very natural question. What can be said about the chromatic number of unit distance graphs in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that have large girth? Over the years this question and its natural…

Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Kawarabayashi [European Journal of Combinatorics, 2017] asked, what is the largest chromatic number attainable by a graph of treewidth $t$ with no $K_r$ subgraph? In this paper, we consider the fractional version of this…

We give exact values and bounds on the isoperimetric peak of complete trees, improving on known results. For the complete $q$-ary tree of depth $d$, if $q\ge 5$, then we find that the isoperimetric peak equals $d$, completing an open…

We show that the edges of any planar graph of maximum degree at most $9$ can be partitioned into $4$ linear forests and a matching. Combined with known results, this implies that the edges of any planar graph $G$ of odd maximum degree…

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…

\noindent The b-chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\phi(G)$, is the largest integer $k$ that $G$ admits a proper coloring by $k$ colors, such that each color class has a vertex that is adjacent to at least one vertex in each of…

We classify the trees on $n$ vertices with the maximum and the minimum number of certain generalized colorings, including conflict-free, odd, non-monochromatic, star, and star rainbow vertex colorings. We also extend a result of Cutler and…

The topic of this paper is related to the well-known notion of unit distance graphs. Take a graph with its edges coloured red and blue such that for some $d$ it can be mapped into the plane with all vertices going to distinct points, the…

Graph colorings is a fundamental topic in graph theory that require an assignment of labels (or colors) to vertices or edges subject to various constraints. We focus on the harmonious coloring of a graph, which is a proper vertex coloring…

An odd coloring of a graph is a proper coloring such that every non-isolated vertex has a color that appears at an odd number of its neighbors. This notion was introduced by Petr\v{s}evski and \v{S}krekovski in 2022. In this paper, we focus…
