The concept of rainbow disconnection number of graphs was introduced by Chartrand et al. in 2018. Inspired by this concept, we put forward the concepts of rainbow vertex-disconnection and proper disconnection in graphs. In this paper, we…

For a graph $G$ and a set of graphs $\mathcal{H}$, we say that $G$ is {\em $\mathcal{H}$-free} if no induced subgraph of $G$ is isomorphic to a member of $\mathcal{H}$. Given an integer $P>0$, a graph $G$, and a set of graphs $\mathcal{F}$,…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected and vertex-colored graph. A vertex subset $X$ is called rainbow if any two vertices in $X$ have distinct colors. The graph $G$ is called \emph{rainbow vertex-disconnected} if for any two vertices $x$ and…

Let $K_n^h=(V,\binom{V}{h})$ be the complete $h$-uniform hypergraph on vertex set $V$ with $|V|=n$. Baranyai showed that $K_n^h$ can be expressed as the union of edge-disjoint $r$-regular factors if and only if $h$ divides $rn$ and $r$…

We study the $F$-decomposition threshold $\delta_F$ for a given graph $F$. Here an $F$-decomposition of a graph $G$ is a collection of edge-disjoint copies of $F$ in $G$ which together cover every edge of $G$. (Such an $F$-decomposition can…

A hypergraph is said to be $1$-Sperner if for every two hyperedges the smallest of their two set differences is of size one. We present several applications of $1$-Sperner hypergraphs and their structure to graphs. In particular, we…

The paper deals with partitions of hypergraphs into induced subhypergraphs satisfying constraints on their degeneracy. Our hypergraphs may have multiple edges, but no loops. Given a hypergraph $H$ and a sequence $f=(f_1,f_2, \ldots, f_p)$…

Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be an undirected graph with a measure function $\mu$ assigning non-negative values to subgraphs $H$ so that $\mu(H)$ does not exceed the clique cover number of $H$. When $\mu$ satisfies some additional natural…

Let $k\geq 2$ and fix a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{F}$. Consider the random process that, starting from a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\mathcal{H}$ on $n$ vertices, repeatedly deletes the edges of a copy of $\mathcal{F}$ chosen uniformly…

We define a $(V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_k)$-partition for a given graph $H$ and graphical properties $P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_k$ as a partition where each $V_i$ induces a subgraph of $H$ with property $P_i$. Matamala (2007) extended this result by…

Let $k \ge 1$ be an integer and let $G$ be a nonempty simple graph. An \emph{edge-$k$-coloring} $\varphi$ of $G$ is an assignment of colors from $\{1,\ldots,k\}$ to the edges of $G$ such that no two adjacent edges receive the same color.…

The "separation dimension" of a graph $G$ is the minimum positive integer $d$ for which there is an embedding of $G$ into $\mathbb{R}^d$, such that every pair of disjoint edges are separated by some axis-parallel hyperplane. We prove a…

An edge labeling of a graph distinguishes neighbors by sets (multisets, resp.), if for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ the sets (multisets, resp.) of labels appearing on edges incident to $u$ and $v$ are different. In an analogous way…

A copy of a hypergraph $F$ is called an $F$-copy. Let $K_k^r$ denote the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph whose vertex set is $[k] = \{1, \dots, k\}$ (that is, the edges of $K_k^r$ are the $r$-element subsets of $[k]$). Given an $r$-uniform…
