A majority coloring of a directed graph is a vertex-coloring in which every vertex has the same color as at most half of its out-neighbors. Kreutzer, Oum, Seymour, van der Zypen and Wood proved that every digraph has a majority 4-coloring…

It is well-known that an undirected graph has no odd cycle if and only if it is bipartite. A less obvious, but similar result holds for directed graphs: a strongly connected digraph has no odd cycle if and only if it is bipartite. Can this…

In a recent paper, we showed that every sufficiently large regular digraph G on n vertices whose degree is linear in n and which is a robust outexpander has a decomposition into edge-disjoint Hamilton cycles. The main consequence of this…

For an oriented graph $D$, the inversion of $X\subseteq V(D)$ in $D$ is the graph obtained by reversing the orientation of all arcs with both ends in $X$. The inversion number $\mathrm{inv}(D)$ is the minimum number of inversions needed to…

The family $D(k,m)$ of graphs having an orientation such that for every vertex $v \in V(G)$ either (outdegree) $\deg^+(v) \le k$ or (indegree) $\deg^-(v) \le m$ have been investigated recently in several papers because of the role $D(k,m)$…

We study the existence of directed Hamilton cycles in random digraphs with $m$ edges where we condition on minimum in- and out-degree $\d \ge k+1$, where $k \ge 1$. Denote such a random graph by $D_{n,m}^{(\delta\geq k+1)}$. Let $m=cn$ and…

Thomas proved that every undirected graph admits a linked tree decomposition of width equal to its treewidth. In this paper, we generalize Thomas's theorem to digraphs. We prove that every digraph G admits a linked directed path…

We prove that for any given $\varepsilon>0$ and $d\in [0,1]$, every sufficiently large $(\varepsilon, d)$-dense graph $G$ contains for each odd integer $r$ at least $(d^r-\varepsilon)|V(G)|^r$ cycles of length $r$. Here, $G$ being…

Given integers $m\le c$ and an exact $c$-coloring of the edges of a complete countably infinite graph (i.e. a coloring that uses exactly $c$ colors), must there be an infinite subgraph that is exactly $m$-colored? Using the Infinite Ramsey…

We investigate a cancellation property satisfied by a connected Eulerian digraph $D$. Namely, unless $D$ is a single directed cycle, we have $\sum_{k\geq 1} (-1)^{k} f_k(D)=0$, where $f_k(D)$ is the number of partitions of Eulerian circuits…

Haj\'os conjectured in 1968 that every Eulerian \(n\)-vertex graph can be decomposed into at most $\lfloor (n-1)/2\rfloor$ edge-disjoint cycles. This has been confirmed for some special graph classes, but the general case remains open. In a…

Let $K_{\mathbb{N}}$ be the complete symmetric digraph on the positive integers. Answering a question of DeBiasio and McKenney, we construct a $2$-colouring of the edges of $K_{\mathbb{N}}$ in which every monochromatic path has density~$0$.…

Given a directed graph $D$ of order $n\geq 4$ and a nonempty subset $Y$ of vertices of $D$ such that in $D$ every vertex of $Y$ reachable from every other vertex of $Y$. Assume that for every triple $x,y,z\in Y$ such that $x$ and $y$ are…

Let a 2 to 1 directed hypergraph be a 3-uniform hypergraph where every edge has two tail vertices and one head vertex. For any such directed hypergraph F let the nth extremal number of F be the maximum number of edges that any directed…

Two permutations of the natural numbers diverge if the absolute value of the difference of their elements in the same position goes to infinity. We show that there exists an infinite number of pairwise divergent permutations of the…

Let $G = (V, E)$ be an $n$-vertex edge-colored graph. In 2013, H. Li proved that if every vertex $v \in V$ is incident to at least $(n+1)/2$ distinctly colored edges, then $G$ admits a rainbow triangle. We prove that the same hypothesis…

We prove that a complete bipartite graph can be decomposed into cycles of arbitrary specified lengths provided that the obvious necessary conditions are satisfied, the length of each cycle is at most the size of the smallest part, and the…

Ramsey's Theorem guarantees for every graph H that any 2-edge-coloring of a sufficiently large complete graph contains a monochromatic copy of H. In 1962, Erdos conjectured that the random 2-edge-coloring minimizes the number of…

Let $D$ be a strongly connected balanced bipartite directed graph of order $2a\geq 4$. Let $x,y$ be distinct vertices in $D$. $\{x,y\}$ dominates a vertex $z$ if $x\rightarrow z$ and $y\rightarrow z$; in this case, we call the pair…

Let $c$ be an edge-colouring of a graph $G$ such that for every vertex $v$ there are at least $d \ge 2$ different colours on edges incident to $v$. We prove that $G$ contains a properly coloured path of length 2d or a properly coloured…
