A tuple $(G_1,\dots,G_n)$ of graphs on the same vertex set of size $n$ is said to be Hamilton-universal if for every map $\chi: [n]\to[n]$ there exists a Hamilton cycle whose $i$-th edge comes from $G_{\chi(i)}$. Bowtell, Morris, Pehova and…

In this paper we study the following problem proposed by Barrus, Ferrara, Vandenbussche, and Wenger. Given a graph $H$ and an integer $t$, what is $\operatorname{sat}_{t}\left(n, \mathfrak{R}{(H)}\right)$, the minimum number of edges in a…

A Berge cycle of length $\ell$ in a hypergraph is an alternating sequence of $\ell$ distinct vertices and $\ell$ distinct edges $v_1,e_1,v_2, \ldots, v_\ell, e_{\ell}$ such that $\{v_i, v_{i+1}\} \subseteq e_i$ for all $i$, with indices…

An edge-colored graph is said to be rainbow if all its edges have distinct colors. In this paper, we study the rainbow analogue of a fundamental result of Mader [\emph{Math. Ann.} \textbf{174} (1967), 265--268] on the existence of…

In a graph $G$ with a given edge colouring, a rainbow path is a path all of whose edges have distinct colours. The minimum number of colours required to colour the edges of $G$ so that every pair of vertices is joined by at least one…

An edge-colored graph $G$ is rainbow connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph $G$, denoted by $rc(G)$, is the smallest number of colors that…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph, where $\delta(G) \geq \delta n$ for some $\delta := \delta(n)$. A result of Bohman, Frieze and Martin from 2003 asserts that if $\alpha(G) = O \left(\delta^2 n \right)$, then perturbing $G$ via the addition…

The P\'osa-Seymour conjecture asserts that every graph on $n$ vertices with minimum degree at least $(1 - 1/(r+1))n$ contains the $r^{th}$ power of a Hamilton cycle. Koml\'os, S\'ark\"ozy and Szemer\'edi famously proved the conjecture for…

In this paper, we study discrepancy questions for spanning subgraphs of $k$-uniform hypergraphs. Our main result is that, for any integers $k \ge 3$ and $r \ge 2$, any $r$-colouring of the edges of a $k$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $G$…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. The study of rainbow subgraphs goes back to the work of Euler on Latin squares and has been the focus of extensive research ever since. Many…

Given a graph $H$, let $g(n,H)$ denote the smallest $k$ for which the following holds. We can assign a $k$-colouring $f_v$ of the edge set of $K_n$ to each vertex $v$ in $K_n$ with the property that for any copy $T$ of $H$ in $K_n$, there…

A path in an edge-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges may have the same color, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of the path are colored the same. The rainbow connection number $rc(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum integer $i$ for which…

In 1999, Katona and Kierstead conjectured that if a $k$-uniform hypergraph $\cal H$ on $n$ vertices has minimum co-degree $\lfloor \frac{n-k+3}{2}\rfloor$, i.e., each set of $k-1$ vertices is contained in at least $\lfloor…

A \textit{rainbow subgraph} of an edge-colored graph is a subgraph whose edges have distinct colors. The \textit{color degree} of a vertex $v$ is the number of different colors on edges incident to $v$. We show that if $n$ is large enough…

If we want to color $1,2,\ldots,n$ with the property that all 3-term arithmetic progressions are rainbow (that is, their elements receive 3 distinct colors), then, obviously, we need to use at least $n/2$ colors. Surprisingly, much fewer…

Let $G$ be an edge-coloured graph. The minimum colour degree $ \delta^c(G) $ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that, for every vertex $v$, there are at least $k$ distinct colours on edges incident to $v$. We say that $G$ is properly…
