We prove that every properly edge-colored $n$-vertex graph with average degree at least $100(\log n)^2$ contains a rainbow cycle, improving upon $(\log n)^{2+o(1)}$ bound due to Tomon. We also prove that every properly colored $n$-vertex…

A properly edge-colored graph is a graph with a coloring of its edges such that no vertex is incident to two or more edges of the same color. A subgraph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colors. The problem of finding…

A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"{a}ggkvist (CHC) states that a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and minimum outdegree at least $r$ has a directed cycle of length at most $\lceil \frac{n}{r}\rceil$. In 2017, Aharoni proposed the…

Given a graph on $n$ vertices and an assignment of colours to the edges, a rainbow Hamilton cycle is a cycle of length $n$ visiting each vertex once and with pairwise different colours on the edges. Similarly (for even $n$) a rainbow…

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…

The {\em rainbow vertex-connection number}, $rvc(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color its vertices such that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path whose internal vertices have…

Let $n \in 3\mathbb{Z}$ be sufficiently large. Zhang, Zhao and Lu proved that if $H$ is a 3-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and no isolated vertices, and if $deg(u)+deg(v) > \frac{2}{3}n^2 - \frac{8}{3}n + 2$ for any two vertices $u$…

Given a graph $H$, we say that an edge-coloured graph $G$ is $H$-rainbow saturated if it does not contain a rainbow copy of $H$, but the addition of any non-edge in any colour creates a rainbow copy of $H$. The rainbow saturation number…

A rainbow colouring of a connected graph is a colouring of the edges of the graph, such that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. Such a colouring using minimum possible…

A path in an edge-colored graph is \textit{rainbow} if no two edges of it are colored the same. The graph is said to be \textit{rainbow connected} if there is a rainbow path between every pair of vertices. If there is a rainbow shortest…

We call an edge colouring of a graph G a rainbow colouring if every pair of vertices is joined by a rainbow path, i.e., a path where no two edges have the same colour. The minimum number of colours required for a rainbow colouring of the…

Mantel's Theorem asserts that a simple $n$ vertex graph with more than $\frac{1}{4}n^2$ edges has a triangle (three mutually adjacent vertices). Here we consider a rainbow variant of this problem. We prove that whenever $G_1, G_2, G_3$ are…

Let $G$ be a connected graph. The notion \emph{the rainbow connection number $rc(G)$} of a graph $G$ was introduced recently by Chartrand et al. Basavaraju et al. showed that for every bridgeless graph $G$ with radius $r$, $rc(G)\leq…

In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of…

For a given graph $H$ and $n\geq 1$, let $f(n,H)$ denote the maximum number $c$ for which there is a way to color the edges of the complete graph $K_n$ with $c$ colors such that every subgraph $H$ of $K_n$ has at least two edges of the same…

An edge-colored graph is called \textit{rainbow graph} if all the colors on its edges are distinct. Given a positive integer $n$ and a graph $G$, the \textit{anti-Ramsey number} $ar(n,G)$ is defined to be the minimum number of colors $r$…

A path in an edge (vertex)-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges (vertices) may have the same color, is called a rainbow path if no pair of edges (internal vertices) of the path are colored the same. The rainbow (vertex) connection number…

An edge-coloring of a complete graph with a set of colors $C$ is called completely balanced if any vertex is incident to the same number of edges of each color from $C$. Erd\H{o}s and Tuza asked in $1993$ whether for any graph $F$ on $\ell$…
