We prove lower and upper bounds for the chromatic number of certain hypergraphs defined by geometric regions. This problem has close relations to conflict-free colorings. One of the most interesting type of regions to consider for this…
In the past, analogues to Brooks' theorem have been found for various parameters of graph coloring for infinite locally finite connected graphs in ZFC. We prove these theorems are not provable in ZF (i.e. the Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory…
There is a famous problem in geometric graph theory to find the chromatic number of the unit distance graph on Euclidean space; it remains unsolved. A theorem of Erdos and De-Bruijn simplifies this problem to finding the maximum chromatic…
Motivated by applications in the medical sciences, we study finite chromatic sets in Euclidean space from a topological perspective. Based on the persistent homology for images, kernels and cokernels, we design provably stable homological…
The Unfriendly Partition Conjecture posits that every countable graph admits a 2-colouring in which for each vertex there are at least as many bichromatic edges containing that vertex as monochromatic ones. This is not known in general, but…
In this paper, we try to determine exact or bounds on the choosability, or list chromatic numbers of some Cayley graphs, typically some Unitary Cayley graphs and Cayley graphs on Dihedral groups.
We present an elementary construction of an uncountably chromatic graph without uncountable, infinitely connected subgraphs.
Erd\H{o}s and Hajnal proved that every graph of uncountable chromatic number contains arbitrarily large finite, complete, bipartite graphs. We extend this result to hypergraphs.
A. Hajnal and P. Erd\H{o}s proved that a graph with uncountable chromatic number cannot avoid short cycles, it must contain for example $ C_4 $ (among other obligatory subgraphs). It was shown recently by D. T. Soukup that, in contrast of…
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…
We work with simple graphs in ZF (Zermelo--Fraenkel set theory without the Axiom of Choice (AC)) and assume that the sets of colors can be either well-orderable or non-well-orderable to prove that the following statements are equivalent to…
We prove that a wide range of coloring problems in graphs on surfaces can be resolved by inspecting a finite number of configurations.
We study the analytic digraphs of uncountable Borel chromatic number on Polish spaces, and compare them with the notion of injective Borel homomorphism. We provide some minimal digraphs incomparable with G 0. We also prove the existence of…
Hadwiger Conjecture has been an open problem for over a half century1,6, which says that there is at most a complete graph Kt but no Kt+1 for every t-colorable graph. A few cases of Hadwiger Conjecture, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-colorable…
A colouring of a graph is "nonrepetitive" if for every path of even order, the sequence of colours on the first half of the path is different from the sequence of colours on the second half. We show that planar graphs have nonrepetitive…
We prove that, for every function $f:\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$, there is a graph $G$ with uncountable chromatic number such that, for every $k \in \mathbb{N}$ with $k \geq 3$, every subgraph of $G$ with fewer than $f(k)$ vertices…
A proof that every outerplanar graph is \Delta+2 colorable. This is slightly stronger then an unpublished result of Wang Shudong, Ma Fangfang, Xu Jin, and Yan Lijun proving the same for 2-connected outerplanar graphs.
Hindman's celebrated Finite Sums Theorem, and its high-dimensional version due to Milliken and Taylor, are extended from covers of countable sets to covers of arbitrary topological spaces with Menger's classic covering property. The methods…
The colorful simplicial depth of a collection of d+1 finite sets of points in Euclidean d-space is the number of choices of a point from each set such that the origin is contained in their convex hull. We use methods from combinatorial…
This paper is concerned with two conjectures which are intimately related. The first is a generalization to hypergraphs of Vizing's Theorem on the chromatic index of a graph and the second is the well-known conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Faber…
