In this paper, anti-van der Waerden numbers on Cartesian products of graphs are investigated and a conjecture made by Schulte, et al (see arXiv:1802.01509) is answered. In particular, the anti-van der Waerden number of the Cartesian product…
A $k$-term arithmetic progression ($k$-AP) in a graph $G$ is a list of vertices such that each consecutive pair of vertices is the same distance apart. If $c$ is a coloring function of the vertices of $G$ and a $k$-AP in $G$ has each vertex…
Given a graph $G$, an exact $r$-coloring of $G$ is a surjective function $c:V(G) \to [1,\dots,r]$. An arithmetic progression in $G$ of length $j$ with common difference $d$ is a set of vertices $\{v_1,\dots, v_j\}$ such that…
The anti-Ramsey number $AR(n,G$), for a graph $G$ and an integer $n\geq|V(G)|$, is defined to be the minimal integer $r$ such that in any edge-colouring of $K_n$ by at least $r$ colours there is a multicoloured copy of $G$, namely, a copy…
The anti-Ramsey number, $AR(n,G)$, for a graph $G$ and an integer $n\geq|V(G)|$, is defined to be the minimal integer $r$ such that in any edge-colouring of $K_n$ by at least $r$ colours there is a multicoloured copy of $G$, namely, a copy…
The anti-van der Waerden number of a graph $G$ is the fewest number of colors needed to guarantee a rainbow $3$-term arithmetic progression in $G$, denoted $\operatorname{aw}(G,3)$. It is known that the anti-van der Waerden number of graph…
An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. Given a positive integer $n$ and a graph $G$, the \textit{anti-Ramsey number} $ar(n,G)$ is defined to be the minimum number of colors $r$…
The anti-Ramsey numbers are a fundamental notion in graph theory, introduced in 1978, by Erd\" os, Simonovits and S\' os. For given graphs $G$ and $H$ the \emph{anti-Ramsey number} $\textrm{ar}(G,H)$ is defined to be the maximum number $k$…
We present a simplified exposition of some classical and modern results on graph drawings in the plane. These results are chosen so that they illustrate some spectacular recent higher-dimensional results on the border of topology and…
We obtain a double exponential bound in Brauer's generalisation of van der Waerden's theorem, which concerns progressions with the same colour as their common difference. Such a result has been obtained independently and in much greater…
The speed of a class of graphs counts the number of graphs on the vertex set $\lbrace 1,\dots, n\rbrace$ inside the class as a function of $n$. In this paper, we investigate this function for many classes of graphs that naturally arise in…
According to a study by Erd\H{o}s et al. in 1975, the anti-Ramsey number of a graph \(G\), denoted as \(AR(n, G)\), is defined as the maximum number of colors that can be used in an edge-coloring of the complete graph \(K_n\) without…
In [1] the problem of finding a sharp lower bound on lower against number of a general graph is mentioned as an open question. We solve the problem by establishing a tight lower bound on lower against number of a general graph in terms of…
For positive integers $n$ and $k$, the \emph{anti-van der Waerden number} of $\mathbb{Z}_n$, denoted by $aw(\mathbb{Z}_n,k)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to color the elements of the cyclic group of order $n$ and guarantee there…
This introduction to graphs and graph algebras provides the optimal bound for the number of all paths of length $k$ in a graph with $N\geq k$ edges and no loops. Our proof relies on a construction of a number of terminating algorithms that…
The ring of graph invariants is spanned by the basic graph invariants which calculate the number of subgraphs isomorphic to a given graph in other graphs. These subgraphs counting invariants are not algebraically independent. In our view…
Van der Waerden's theorem, published in Nieuw. Arch. Wisk. 15 (1927), acted as a catalyst for major further developments in Ramsey theory. In this survey, we delve into the legacy of this mathematical gem, tracing its historical origin,…
The anti-Ramsey number $Ar(G,H)$ is the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of $G$ with no rainbow copy of $H$. In this paper, we determine the exact anti-Ramsey number in the generalized Petersen graph $P_{n,k}$ for cycles $C_d$,…
A vertex k-ranking is a labeling of the vertices of a graph with integers from 1 to k so any path connecting two vertices with the same label will pass through a vertex with a greater label. The rank number of a graph is defined to be the…
We present a refinement of Ramsey numbers by considering graphs with a partial ordering on their vertices. This is a natural extension of the ordered Ramsey numbers. We formalize situations in which we can use arbitrary families of…
