Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with an edge-coloring $c$, and let $\delta^c(G)$ denote the minimum color-degree of $G$. A subgraph $F$ of $G$ is called rainbow if any two edges of $F$ have distinct colors. There have been a lot results in…

We show that for any integer $t \ge 2$, every properly edge colored $n$-vertex graph with average degree at least $(\log n)^{2+o(1)}$ contains a rainbow subdivision of a complete graph of size $t$. Note that this bound is within $(\log…

The rainbow Tur{\'a}n number of a fixed graph $H$, denoted by ${\text{ex}}^*(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph such that it admits a proper edge coloring with no rainbow $H$. We study this problem in planar…

Let $H$ be an edge colored hypergraph. We say that $H$ contains a \emph{rainbow} copy of a hypergraph $S$ if it contains an isomorphic copy of $S$ with all edges of distinct colors. We consider the following setting. A randomly edge colored…

We present several results in extremal graph and hypergraph theory of topological nature. First, we show that if $\alpha>0$ and $\ell=\Omega(\frac{1}{\alpha}\log\frac{1}{\alpha})$ is an odd integer, then every graph $G$ with $n$ vertices…

An edge-colored graph is a graph in which each edge is assigned a color. Such a graph is called strongly edge-colored if each color class forms an induced matching, and called rainbow if all edges receive pairwise distinct colors. In this…

An edge coloring of a simple graph $G$ is said to be \textit{proper rainbow-cycle-forbidding} (PRCF, for short) if no two incident edges receive the same color and for any cycle in $G$, at least two edges of that cycle receive the same…

The flip graph for a set $P$ of points in the plane has a vertex for every triangulation of $P$, and an edge when two triangulations differ by one flip that replaces one triangulation edge by another. The flip graph is known to have some…

We prove that every family of (not necessarily distinct) even cycles $D_1, \dotsc, D_{\lfloor 1.2(n-1) \rfloor+1}$ on some fixed $n$-vertex set has a rainbow even cycle (that is, a set of edges from distinct $D_i$'s, forming an even cycle).…

Many well-known problems in Combinatorics can be reduced to finding a large rainbow structure in a certain edge-coloured multigraph. Two celebrated examples of this are Ringel's tree packing conjecture and Ryser's conjecture on transversals…

In an edge-colored graph $G$, a rainbow clique $K_k$ is a $k$-complete subgraph in which all the edges have distinct colors. Let $e(G)$ and $c(G)$ be the number of edges and colors in $G$, respectively. In this paper, we show that for any…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured complete graph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colours. The study of rainbow decompositions has a long history, going back to the work of Euler on Latin squares. In this paper we discuss…

Any two triangulations of a closed surface with the same number of vertices can be transformed into each other by a sequence of regular flips, provided the number of vertices exceeds a number N depending on the surface. Examples show that…

Given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ with minimum degree at least $d n$ for some fixed $d > 0$, the distribution $G \cup \mathbb{G}(n,p)$ over the supergraphs of $G$ is referred to as a (random) {\sl perturbation} of $G$. We consider the…

A realizer, commonly known as Schnyder woods, of a triangulation is a partition of its interior edges into three oriented rooted trees. A flip in a realizer is a local operation that transforms one realizer into another. Two types of flips…

We show that for every integer $m \ge 2$ and large $n$, every properly edge-coloured graph on $n$ vertices with at least $n (\log n)^{53}$ edges contains a rainbow subdivision of $K_m$. This is sharp up to a polylogarithmic factor. Our…

Flips in triangulations of convex polygons arise in many different settings. They are isomorphic to rotations in binary trees, define edges in the 1-skeleton of the Associahedron and cover relations in the Tamari Lattice. The complexity of…
