We derive sharp upper and lower bounds on the number of intersection points and closed regions that can occur in sets of line segments with certain structure, in terms of the number of segments. We consider sets of segments whose underlying…

We introduce a new and rich class of graph coloring manifolds via the Hom complex construction of Lovasz. The class comprises examples of Stiefel manifolds, series of spheres and products of spheres, cubical surfaces, as well as examples of…

The \emph{coloring number} $\mathrm{col}(G)$ of a graph $G$, which is equal to the \emph{degeneracy} of $G$ plus one, provides a very useful measure for the uniform sparsity of $G$. The coloring number is generalized by three series of…

Let $c$ be an edge-coloring of the complete $n$-vertex graph $K_n$. The problem of finding properly colored and rainbow Hamilton cycles in $c$ was initiated in 1976 by Bollob\'as and Erd\H os and has been extensively studied since then.…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study on a new notion called near optimal colourability which is closely related to perfect graphs and the Lov{\'a}sz theta function. A graph family $\mathcal{G}$ is {\em near optimal colourable} if…

We prove that the vertices of every $(r + 1)$-uniform hypergraph with maximum degree $\Delta$ may be coloured with $c(\frac{\Delta}{d + 1})^{1/r}$ colours such that each vertex is in at most $d$ monochromatic edges. This result, which is…

The celebrated Time Hierarchy Theorem for Turing machines states, informally, that more problems can be solved given more time. The extent to which a time hierarchy-type theorem holds in the distributed LOCAL model has been open for many…

We give a short proof of a bound on the list chromatic number of graphs $G$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ where each neighbourhood has density at most $d$, namely $\chi_\ell(G) \le (1+o(1)) \frac{\Delta}{\ln \frac{\Delta}{d+1}}$ as…

This paper addresses the behavior of the Lov\'asz number for dense random circulant graphs. The Lov\'asz number is a well-known semidefinite programming upper bound on the independence number. Circulant graphs, an example of a Cayley graph,…

We show that there exists a constant $c > 0$ such that if $G$ is a planar graph with 5-correspondence assignment $(L,M)$, then $G$ has at least $2^{c\cdot v(G)}$ distinct $(L,M)$-colourings. This confirms a conjecture of Langhede and…

Brooks' Theorem is a fundamental result on graph colouring, stating that the chromatic number of a graph is almost always upper bounded by its maximal degree. Lov\'asz showed that such a colouring may then be computed in linear time when it…

We present a progress on local computation algorithms for two coloring of $k$-uniform hypergraphs. We focus on instances that satisfy strengthened assumption of Local Lemma of the form $2^{1-\alpha k} (\Delta+1) e < 1$, where $\Delta$ is…

For $n\geq s> r\geq 1$ and $k\geq 2$, write $n \rightarrow (s)_{k}^r$ if every hyperedge colouring with $k$ colours of the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices has a monochromatic subset of size $s$. Improving upon previous…

Let $G$ be a multigraph and $L\,:\,E(G) \to 2^\mathbb{N}$ be a list assignment on the edges of $G$. Suppose additionally, for every vertex $x$, the edges incident to $x$ have at least $f(x)$ colors in common. We consider a variant of local…

The aim of this paper is to generalize the notion of the coloring complex of a graph to hypergraphs. We present three different interpretations of those complexes -- a purely combinatorial one and two geometric ones. It is shown, that most…

A constrained colouring or, more specifically, an $(\alpha,\beta)$-colouring of a hypergraph $H$, is an assignment of colours to its vertices such that no edge of $H$ contains less than $\alpha$ or more than $\beta$ vertices with different…

The gap between the known randomized and deterministic local distributed algorithms underlies arguably the most fundamental and central open question in distributed graph algorithms. In this paper, we develop a generic and clean recipe for…

K\H{o}nig's edge-coloring theorem for bipartite graphs and Vizing's edge-coloring theorem for general graphs are celebrated results in graph theory and combinatorial optimization. Schrijver generalized K\H{o}nig's theorem to a framework…

Motivated by the well-known conjecture of Ryser which relates maximum matchings to minimum vertex covers in $r$-partite $r$-uniform hypergraphs, Lov\'asz formulated a stronger conjecture. It states that one can always reduce the matching…

We obtain a hypergraph generalisation of the graph blow-up lemma proved by Komlos, Sarkozy and Szemeredi, showing that hypergraphs with sufficient regularity and no atypical vertices behave as if they were complete for the purpose of…
