Given a subgraph G of the hypercube Q_n, a coloring of the edges of Q_n such that every embedding of G contains an edge of every color is called a G-polychromatic coloring. The maximum number of colors with which it is possible to…

Let $\chi'_d(n,q)$ (resp. $\chi_d(n,q)$) denote the minimum number of colors necessary to color a $q$-ary $n$-cube so that no two vertices that are at a distance at most $d$ (resp. exactly $d$) get the same color. These two problems were…

In this short paper, we introduce a new vertex coloring whose motivation comes from our series on odd edge-colorings of graphs. A proper vertex coloring $\varphi$ of graph $G$ is said to be odd if for each non-isolated vertex $x\in V(G)$…

Motivated by the Erd\H{o}s-Faber-Lov\'{a}sz (EFL) conjecture for hypergraphs, we consider the list edge coloring of linear hypergraphs. We show that if the hyper-edge sizes are bounded between $i$ and $C_{i,\epsilon} \sqrt{n}$ inclusive,…

In a proper edge-coloring the edges of every color form a matching. A matching is induced if the end-vertices of its edges induce a matching. A strong edge-coloring is an edge-coloring in which the edges of every color form an induced…

We study a variant of the color-avoiding percolation model introduced by Krause et al., namely we investigate the color-avoiding bond percolation setup on (not necessarily properly) edge-colored Erd\H{o}s-R\'{e}nyi random graphs. We say…

We study the following Ramsey-theoretic question: given a $q$-coloring of the edges of a tournament, how long of a directed path can we guarantee whose edges avoid one of the colors? Questions of this type have applications in many areas,…

Arrangements of pseudolines are a widely studied generalization of line arrangements. They are defined as a finite family of infinite curves in the Euclidean plane, any two of which intersect at exactly one point. One can state various…

We propose a way of preventing race conditions in the evaluation of the surface integral contribution in discontinuous Galerkin and finite volume flow solvers by coloring the edges (or faces) of the computational mesh. In this work we use a…

An edge labeling of a graph distinguishes neighbors by sets (multisets, resp.), if for any two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$ the sets (multisets, resp.) of labels appearing on edges incident to $u$ and $v$ are different. In an analogous way…

Given a graph $F$ and an integer $r \ge 2$, a partition $\widehat{F}$ of the edge set of $F$ into at most $r$ classes, and a graph $G$, define $c_{r, \widehat{F}}(G)$ as the number of $r$-colorings of the edges of $G$ that do not contain a…

An interval edge t-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge coloring of G with colors 1,2...,t such that at least one edge of G is colored by color i,i=1,2...,t, and the edges incident with each vertex v are colored by d_{G}(v) consecutive…

Let $G$ be a simple planar graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, let $t$ be a positive integer, and let $L$ be an edge list assignment on $G$ with $|L(e)| \geq \Delta+t$ for all $e \in E(G)$. We prove that if $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ that has…
