For any graph $G$, the chromatic polynomial of $G$ is the function $P(G,m)$ which counts the number of proper $m$-colorings of $G$ for each positive integer $m$. The DP color function $P_{DP}(G,m)$ of $G$, introduced by Kaul and Mudrock in…
Fix a palette $\mathcal K$ of $\Delta+1$ colours, a graph with maximum degree $\Delta$, and a subset $M$ of the edge set with minimum distance between edges at least $9$. If the edges of $M$ are arbitrarily precoloured from $\mathcal K$,…
A total coloring of a simple undirected graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to its vertices and edges such that the colors given to the vertices form a proper vertex coloring, the colors given to the edges form a proper edge coloring, and…
In this paper, we investigate the problem of graph list colouring in the on-line setting. We provide several results on paintability of graphs in the model introduced by Schauz [13] and Zhu [20]. We prove that the on-line version of Ohba's…
We propose the notion of a majority $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$, which is an edge-coloring of $G$ with $k$ colors such that, for every vertex $u$ of $G$, at most half the edges of $G$ incident with $u$ have the same color. We show the…
This paper proves limit theorems for the number of monochromatic edges in uniform random colorings of general random graphs. These can be seen as generalizations of the birthday problem (what is the chance that there are two friends with…
A majority coloring of an undirected graph is a vertex coloring in which for each vertex there are at least as many bi-chromatic edges containing that vertex as monochromatic ones. It is known that for every countable graph a majority…
We consider edge colorings of graphs. An edge coloring is a majority coloring if for every vertex at most half of the edges incident with it are in one color. And edge coloring is a distinguishing coloring if for every non-trivial…
We devise a new formulation for the vertex coloring problem. Different from other formulations, decision variables are associated with the pairs of vertices. Consequently, colors will be distinguishable. Although the objective function is…
Alon proved that for any graph $G$, $\chi_\ell(G) = \Omega(\ln d)$, where $\chi_\ell(G)$ is the list chromatic number of $G$ and $d$ is the average degree of $G$. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle recently introduced a generalization of list…
Several authors modelled networks ad hoc by oriented or disoriented graphs, whereby the problem of allowance (allocation) of the frequencies at the level of the network was transformed into coloring problem of nodes in the graph. Graph…
We demonstrate how to generalize two of the most well-known random graph models, the classic random graph, and random graphs with a given degree distribution, by the introduction of hidden variables in the form of extra degrees of freedom,…
The notion of a Galvin orientation of a line graph is introduced, generalizing the idea used by Galvin in his landmark proof of the list-edge-colouring conjecture for bipartite graphs. If L(G) has a proper Galvin orientation with respect to…
Message passing algorithms are popular in many combinatorial optimization problems. For example, experimental results show that {\em survey propagation} (a certain message passing algorithm) is effective in finding proper $k$-colorings of…
We propose and investigate a unifying class of sparse random graph models, based on a hidden coloring of edge-vertex incidences, extending an existing approach, Random graphs with a given degree distribution, in a way that admits a…
A majority edge-coloring of a graph without pendant edges is a coloring of its edges such that, for every vertex $v$ and every color $\alpha$, there are at most as many edges incident to $v$ colored with $\alpha$ as with all other colors.…
The Total Colouring Conjecture suggests that $\Delta+3$ colours ought to suffice in order to provide a proper total colouring of every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Thus far this has been confirmed up to an additive constant…
A coloring of vertices of a graph is called perfect if, for every vertex, the collection of colors of its neighbors depends only on its own color. The correspondent color partition of vertices is called equitable. We note that a number of…
Graph colorings are becoming an increasingly useful family of mathematical models for a broad range of applications, such as time tabling and scheduling, frequency assignment, register allocation, computer security and so on. Graph proper…
Graph coloring is one of the central problems in distributed graph algorithms. Much of the research on this topic has focused on coloring with $\Delta+1$ colors, where $\Delta$ denotes the maximum degree. Using $\Delta+1$ colors may be…
