The distinguishing chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_D(G)$, is the minimum number of colours in a proper vertex colouring of $G$ that is preserved by the identity automorphism only. Collins and Trenk proved that $\chi_D(G)\le…

Call a colouring of a graph distinguishing, if the only colour preserving automorphism is the identity. A conjecture of Tucker states that if every automorphism of a graph $G$ moves infinitely many vertices, then there is a distinguishing…

Alon, Krivelevich, and Sudakov conjectured in 1999 that for every finite graph $F$, there exists a quantity $c(F)$ such that $\chi(G) \leq (c(F) + o(1)) \Delta / \log\Delta$ whenever $G$ is an $F$-free graph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The…

Given a multigraph $G$ and a positive integer $t$, the distance-$t$ chromatic index of $G$ is the least number of colours needed for a colouring of the edges so that every pair of distinct edges connected by a path of fewer than $t$ edges…

Coloring a graph $G$ consists in finding an assignment of colors $c: V(G)\to\{1,\ldots,p\}$ such that any pair of adjacent vertices receives different colors. The minimum integer $p$ such that a coloring exists is called the chromatic…

Motivated by Hadwiger's conjecture, Seymour asked which graphs $H$ have the property that every non-null graph $G$ with no $H$ minor has a vertex of degree at most $|V(H)|-2$. We show that for every monotone graph family $\mathcal{F}$ with…

The defective chromatic number of a graph class is the infimum $k$ such that there exists an integer $d$ such that every graph in this class can be partitioned into at most $k$ induced subgraphs with maximum degree at most $d$. Finding the…

For graphs of bounded maximum average degree, we consider the problem of 2-distance coloring. This is the problem of coloring the vertices while ensuring that two vertices that are adjacent or have a common neighbor receive different…

Strongly chordal digraphs are included in the class of chordal digraphs and generalize strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. They are the digraphs that admit a linear ordering of its vertex set for which their adjacency…

Let P_{n,d,D} denote the graph taken uniformly at random from the set of all labelled planar graphs on {1,2,...,n} with minimum degree at least d(n) and maximum degree at most D(n). We use counting arguments to investigate the probability…

The Dulmage--Mendelsohn decomposition (or the DM-decomposition) gives a unique partition of the vertex set of a bipartite graph reflecting the structure of all the maximum matchings therein. A bipartite graph is said to be DM-irreducible if…

A distinguishing index of a (di)graph is the minimum number of colours in an edge (or arc) colouring such that the identity is the only automorphism that preserves that colouring. We investigate the minimum and maximum value of the…

A graph of order $n>3$ is called {switching separable} if its modulo-2 sum with some complete bipartite graph on the same set of vertices is divided into two mutually independent subgraphs, each having at least two vertices. We prove the…

A \emph{locally irregular graph} is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph $G$ can be decomposed into $k$ locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into $k$ subsets each of which…

A colored complete graph is said to be Gallai-colored if it contains no rainbow triangle. This property has been shown to be equivalent to the existence of a partition of the vertices (of every induced subgraph) in which at most two colors…
