In this paper we study the spectrum of the random geometric graph $G(n,r)$, in a regime where the graph is dense and highly connected. In the \erdren $G(n,p)$ random graph it is well known that upon connectivity the spectrum of the…

The chromatic polynomial $\pi_{G}(k)$ of a graph $G$ can be viewed as counting the number of vertices in a family of coloring graphs $\mathcal C_k(G)$ associated with (proper) $k$-colorings of $G$ as a function of the number of colors $k$.…

An $(m,n)$-colored mixed graph $G$ is a graph with its arcs having one of the $m$ different colors and edges having one of the $n$ different colors. A homomorphism $f$ of an $(m,n)$-colored mixed graph $G$ to an $(m,n)$-colored mixed graph…

A graph $H$ is said to be common if the number of monochromatic labelled copies of $H$ in a red/blue edge colouring of a large complete graph is asymptotically minimized by a random colouring with an equal proportion of each colour. We…

Gy\'arf\'as famously showed that in every $r$-coloring of the edges of the complete graph $K_n$, there is a monochromatic connected component with at least $\frac{n}{r-1}$ vertices. A recent line of study by Conlon, Tyomkyn, and the second…

Given independent random points $X_1,...,X_n\in\eR^d$ with common probability distribution $\nu$, and a positive distance $r=r(n)>0$, we construct a random geometric graph $G_n$ with vertex set $\{1,...,n\}$ where distinct $i$ and $j$ are…

For a graph G and an integer t we let mcc_t(G) be the smallest m such that there exists a coloring of the vertices of G by t colors with no monochromatic connected subgraph having more than m vertices. Let F be any nontrivial minor-closed…

We associate to a graphon $\gamma$ the sequence of $W$-random graphs $(G_n(\gamma))_{n \geq 1}$. We say that the graphon is singular if, for any finite graph $F$, the homomorphism density $t(F,G_n(\gamma))$ has a variance of order…

A graph $H$ is common if the number of monochromatic copies of $H$ in a 2-edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$ is asymptotically minimised by the random colouring. We prove that, given $k,r>0$, there exists a $k$-connected common…

An edge-coloring of a connected graph $G$ is called a {\it monochromatic connection coloring} (MC-coloring, for short), introduced by Caro and Yuster, if there is a monochromatic path joining any two vertices of the graph $G$. Let $mc(G)$…

An edge-coloured path is monochromatic if all of its edges have the same colour. For a $k$-connected graph $G$, the monochromatic $k$-connection number of $G$, denoted by $mc_k(G)$, is the maximum number of colours in an edge-colouring of…

We study several basic problems about colouring the $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of an arbitrary graph $G$, focusing primarily on the chromatic number and colouring number of $G_p$. In particular, we show that there exist infinitely many…

An $(m, n)$-colored mixed graph is a graph having arcs of $m$ different colors and edges of $n$ different colors. A graph homomorphism of an $(m, n$)-colored mixed graph $G$ to an $(m, n)$-colored mixed graph $H$ is a vertex mapping such…

A graph coloring has bounded clustering if each monochromatic component has bounded size. Equivalently, it is a partition of the vertices into induced subgraphs with bounded size components. This paper studies clustered colorings of graphs,…

A tree $T$ in an edge-colored graph $H$ is called a \emph{monochromatic tree} if all the edges of $T$ have the same color. For $S\subseteq V(H)$, a \emph{monochromatic $S$-tree} in $H$ is a monochromatic tree of $H$ containing the vertices…
