This is a treatise on finite point configurations spanning a fixed volume to be found in a single color-class of an arbitrary finite (measurable) coloring of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$, or in a single large measurable subset…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we confirm the total-coloring conjecture for 1-planar graphs with maximum degree at least 13.

An $\ell$-facial edge-coloring of a plane graph is a coloring of its edges such that any two edges at distance at most $\ell$ on a boundary walk of any face receive distinct colors. It is the edge-coloring variant of the $\ell$-facial…

A set of $n$ points in the Euclidean plane determines at least $n$ distinct lines unless these $n$ points are collinear. In 2006, Chen and Chv\'atal asked whether the same statement holds true in general metric spaces, where the line…

For the given regular plane polygon and an arbitrary point in the plane of the polygon, the distances from the point to the vertices of the polygon are defined. We proved that there is one more non-congruent regular polygon having the…

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…

The famous Erd\H{o}s distinct distances problem asks the following: how many distinct distances must exist between a set of $n$ points in the plane? There are many generalisations of this question that ask one to consider different spaces…

In this short note we show that every connected $2$-edge coloured cubic graph admits an $10$-colouring. This lowers the best known upper bound for the chromatic number of connected $2$-edge coloured cubic graphs.

We give a full, correct proof of the following result, earlier claimed by Erd\H{o}s and Komj\'ath. If the Continuum Hypothesis holds then there is a coloring of the plane with countably many colors, with no monocolored right triangle.

A graph is $(\mathcal{I}, \mathcal{F})$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into two subsets, one of which is an independent set, and the other induces a forest. In this paper, we prove that every planar graph without…

A strong edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring where the edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. It is known that every planar graph with maximum degree D has a strong edge coloring with at most 4D + 4 colors. We…

A well-known result by Graham in Euclidean Ramsey Theory states that, for every positive real number $A$, every coloring of the plane with finite number of colors contains a monochromatic triangle of area $A$. We consider canonical versions…

For $d > 0$, define $G(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ to be the graph whose set of vertices is the rational space $\mathbb{Q}^3$, where two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are a Euclidean distance $d$ apart. Let $\chi(\mathbb{Q}^3, d)$ be the…

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…

A graph is pseudo-outerplanar if each of its blocks has an embedding in the plane so that the vertices lie on a fixed circle and the edges lie inside the disk of this circle with each of them crossing at most one another. In this paper, the…
