We determine the limiting distribution of the logarithm of the number of satisfying assignments in the random $k$-uniform hypergraph 2-colouring problem in a certain density regime for all $k\ge 3$ . As a direct consequence we obtain that…

This is the second in a sequence of three papers in which we prove the following generalization of Thomassen's 5-choosability theorem: Let $G$ be a graph embedded on a surface of genus $g$. Then $G$ can be $L$-colored, where $L$ is a…

We give a characterization of finite sets of triples of elements (e.g., positive integers) that can be colored with two colors such that for every element $i$ in each color class there exists a triple which does not contain $i$. We give a…

An edge colouring of a graph is said to be an $r$-local colouring if the edges incident to any vertex are coloured with at most $r$ colours. Generalising a result of Bessy and Thomass\'e, we prove that the vertex set of any $2$-locally…

The entanglement properties of a class of topological stabilizer states, the so called \emph{topological color codes} defined on a two-dimensional lattice or \emph{2-colex}, are calculated. The topological entropy is used to measure the…

A model named `Colored Percolation' has been introduced with its infinite number of versions in two dimensions. The sites of a regular lattice are randomly occupied with probability $p$ and are then colored by one of the $n$ distinct colors…

Configurations are necklaces with prescribed numbers of red and black beads. Among all possible configurations, the regular one plays an important role in many applications. In this paper, several aspects of regular configurations are…

A first step in investigating colour symmetries of periodic and nonperiodic patterns is determining the number of colours which allow perfect colourings of the pattern under consideration. A perfect colouring is one where each symmetry of…

Edge-coloring problems with forbidden patterns are decision problems asking to find an edge-coloring of the input graph which avoids a homomorphism from a fixed forbidden family of edge-colored graphs. In the precolored version of these…

In this paper we prove that if $S$ is any finite configuration of points in $\mathbb{Z}^2$, then any finite coloring of $\mathbb{E}^2$ must contain uncountably many monochromatic subsets homothetic to $S$. We extend a result of Brown,…

It has been conjectured that for any fixed r and sufficiently large n, there is a monochromatic Hamiltonian Berge-cycle in every (r - 1)-coloring of the edges of the complete r-uniform hypergraph on n vertices. In this paper, we show that…

We find a non-invertible matrix representation for Van der Waerden's colouring theorem for two distinct colours in a one dimensional periodic lattice. Using this,an infinite one dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising system is mapped to a…

Structural colors are produced by wavelength-dependent scattering of light from nanostructures. While living organisms often exploit phase separation to directly assemble structurally colored materials from macromolecules, synthetic…

In this paper we will show the existence of a face $2$-colourable biembedding of the complete graph onto an orientable surface where each face is a cycle of a fixed length $k$, for infinitely many values of $k$. In particular, under certain…

We consider the enumeration of plane trees (rooted ordered trees) whose vertices are colored according to a specific coloring rule that prescribes which possible pairs of colors can occur as the colors of a parent vertex and its child. This…

This paper investigates the coloring problem on Fibonacci-Cayley tree, which is a Cayley graph whose vertex set is the Fibonacci sequence. More precisely, we elucidate the complexity of shifts of finite type defined on Fibonacci-Cayley tree…

A $k$-uniform tight cycle is a $k$-graph with a cyclic order of its vertices such that every $k$ consecutive vertices from an edge. We show that for $k\geq 3$, every red-blue edge-coloured complete $k$-graph on $n$ vertices contains $k$…

In a previous work we introduced an elementary method to analyze the periodicity of a generating function defined by a single equation y=G(x,y). This was based on deriving a single set-equation Y = Gammma(Y) defining the spectrum of the…

A strong edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring of $G$ such that every color class is an induced matching. The minimum number of colors required is termed the strong chromatic index. In this paper, we determine the exact…

This article considers some affine algebraic varieties attached to finite trees and closely related to cluster algebras. Their definition involves a canonical coloring of vertices of trees into three colors. These varieties are proved to be…
