An interval edge t-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G with colors 1,2...,t such that at least one edge of G is colored by color i,i=1,2...,t, and the edges incident with each vertex v are colored by d_{G}(v) consecutive…

Let $C \subseteq [r]^m$ be a code such that any two words of $C$ have Hamming distance at least $t$. It is not difficult to see that determining a code $C$ with the maximum number of words is equivalent to finding the largest $n$ such that…

We show that the lines of every arrangement of $n$ lines in the plane can be colored with $O(\sqrt{n/ \log n})$ colors such that no face of the arrangement is monochromatic. This improves a bound of Bose et al. \cite{BCC12} by a…

Given a graph $G$, let $\Delta_2(G)$ denote the maximum number of neighbors any two distinct vertices of $G$ have in common. Vu (2002) proposed that, provided $\Delta_2(G)$ is not too small as a proportion of the maximum degree $\Delta(G)$…

The Hadwiger--Nelson problem is about determining the chromatic number of the plane (CNP), defined as the minimum number of colours needed to colour the plane so that no two points of distance 1 have the same colour. In this paper we…

We give two extensions of the recent theorem of the first author that the odd distance graph has unbounded chromatic number. The first is that for any non-constant polynomial $f$ with integer coefficients and positive leading coefficient,…

The problem of 2-coloring uniform hypergraphs has been extensively studied over the last few decades. An n-uniform hypergraph is not 2-colorable if its vertices can't be colored with two colors, Red and Blue, such that every hyperedge…

Let $X$ be a Polish space with Borel probability measure $\mu,$ and let $G$ be a Borel graph on $X$ with no odd cycles and maximum degree $\Delta(G).$ We show that the Baire measurable edge chromatic number of $G$ is at most $\Delta(G)+1$,…

We develop a connection between DP-colorings of $k$-uniform hypergraphs of order $n$ and coverings of $n$-dimensional Boolean hypercube by pairs of antipodal $(n-k)$-dimensional faces. Bernshteyn and Kostochka established that the lower…

The famous Wegner's Planar Graph Conjecture asserts tight upper bounds on the chromatic number of the square $G^2$ of a planar graph $G$, depending on the maximum degree $\Delta(G)$ of $G$. The only case that the conjecture is resolved is…

P. Erd\H{o}s proved that every 2-edge coloured complete graph on the natural numbers can be vertex decomposed into two monochromatic paths of different colour. This result was extended by R. Rado to an arbitrary finite number of colours. We…

An edge coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,..., t$ is called an interval $t$-coloring if for each $i\in \{1,2,...,t\}$ there is at least one edge of $G$ colored by $i$, the colors of edges incident to any vertex of $G$ are distinct…

An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge-coloring or an \avd-coloring of a simple graph $G$ is a proper edge-coloring of $G$ such that no pair of adjacent vertices meets the same set of colors. We prove that every graph with maximum degree…

We consider a problem proposed by Linial and Wilf to determine the structure of graphs that allows the maximum number of $q$-colorings among graphs with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. Let $T_r(n)$ denote the Tur\'{a}n graph - the complete…

The 2-distance coloring of a graph $G$ is equivalent to the proper coloring of its square graph $G^2$, it is a special distance labeling problem. DP-coloring (or "Correspondence coloring") was introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Postle in 2018,…

Answering a question raised by Dudek and Pra\l{}at, we show that if $pn\rightarrow \infty$, w.h.p.,~whenever $G=G(n,p)$ is $2$-coloured, there exists a monochromatic path of length $n(2/3+o(1))$. This result is optimal in the sense that…

For a graph $G$, by $\chi_2(G)$ we denote the minimum integer $k$, such that there is a $k$-coloring of the vertices of $G$ in which vertices at distance at most 2 receive distinct colors. Equivalently, $\chi_2(G)$ is the chromatic number…

If $k\geq 0$, then a $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to edges of $G$ from the set of $k$ colors, so that adjacent edges receive different colors. A $k$-edge-colorable subgraph of $G$ is maximum if it is the…

Finding spanning structures with many distinct colours in properly edge-coloured graphs is a central theme in extremal combinatorics. A classical result of Andersen shows that every proper edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$ contains…

Kostochka and Woodall (2001) conjectured that the square of every graph has the same chromatic number and list chromatic number. In 2015 Kim and Park disproved this conjecture for non-bipartite and bipartite graphs. It was asked by several…
