It is well-known that the graphs not containing a given graph H as a subgraph have bounded chromatic number if and only if H is acyclic. Here we consider ordered graphs, i.e., graphs with a linear ordering on their vertex set, and the…

Let $\chi'_\subset(G)$ be the least number of colours necessary to properly colour the edges of a graph $G$ with minimum degree $\delta\geq 2$ so that the set of colours incident with any vertex is not contained in a set of colours incident…

We describe some (countably many) classes K^{n,e} of finite graphs and prove that if lambda^{aleph_0}= lambda then every lambda^+-chromatic graph of cardinal lambda^+ contains, for some n, e, all members of K^{n,e} as subgraphs. On the…

We prove a new generalisation of Ramsey's theorem by showing that every $2$-edge-coloured graph with sufficiently large minimum degree contains a monochromatic induced subgraph whose minimum degree remains large. From this, we also derive…

We present recent advances in harmonic analysis on infinite graphs. Our approach combines combinatorial tools with new results from the theory of unbounded Hermitian operators in Hilbert space, geometry, boundary constructions, and spectral…

In this paper we find chromatic numbers of distance graphs $G(n,3,2)$ for infinitely many n. Also we improve upper bound for $\chi(G(n,r,s))$ in large part of cases.

In 1975 Erd\H{o}s initiated the study of the following very natural question. What can be said about the chromatic number of unit distance graphs in $\mathbb{R}^2$ that have large girth? Over the years this question and its natural…

Hoffman's bound is a well-known eigenvalue bound on the chromatic number of a graph. By interpreting this bound as a parameter, we show multiple applications of colorings attaining the bound (Hoffman colorings) for several notions of graph…

We extend classical notions of definable colourability of graphs to the general projective setting and investigate whether known results, mainly about the $G_0$ dichotomy and the $2n + 1$ conjecture, hold in the context of higher projective…

The chromatic critical edge theorem of Simonovits states that for a given color critical graph $H$ with $\chi(H)=k+1$, there exists an $n_0(H)$ such that the Tur\'an graph $T_{n,k}$ is the only extremal graph with respect to $ex(n,H)$…

Given a graph $G$, the strong clique number of $G$, denoted $\omega_S(G)$, is the maximum size of a set $S$ of edges such that every pair of edges in $S$ has distance at most $2$ in the line graph of $G$. As a relaxation of the renowned…

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 extend a recent construction concerning polychromatic colorings of hereditary hypergraph families. For every integer $h\ge 4$ we construct a $(2h-1)$-uniform hypergraph which has no polychromatic $3$-coloring, but all of whose $h$-heavy…

We study the extremal problem that relates the spectral radius $\lambda (G)$ of an $F$-free graph $G$ with its number of edges. Firstly, we prove that for any graph $F$ with chromatic number $\chi (F)=r+1\ge 3$, if $G$ is an $F$-free graph…

An $\mathcal{F}$-saturated $r$-graph is a maximal $r$-graph not containing any member of $\mathcal{F}$ as a subgraph. Let $\mathcal{K}_{\ell + 1}^{r}$ be the collection of all $r$-graphs $F$ with at most $\binom{\ell+1}{2}$ edges such that…

A solution to a problem of Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor is obtained by showing that if a graph $G$ is $(a:b)$-choosable, and $c/d > a/b$, then $G$ is not necessarily $(c:d)$-choosable. The simplest case of another problem, stated by the same…

A subgraph $H$ of a multigraph $G$ is overfull if $ |E(H) | > \Delta(G) \lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Analogous to the Overfull Conjecture proposed by Chetwynd and Hilton in 1986, Stiebitz et al. in 2012 formed the multigraph version of the…
