An oriented graph is a digraph that does not contain a directed cycle of length two. An (oriented) graph $D$ is $H$-free if $D$ does not contain $H$ as an induced sub(di)graph. The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture is a widely-open conjecture…

An edge colored graph is said to contain rainbow-$F$ if $F$ is a subgraph and every edge receives a different color. In 2007, Keevash, Mubayi, Sudakov, and Verstra\"ete introduced the \emph{rainbow extremal number} $\mathrm{ex}^*(n,F)$, a…

A tree in an edge-colored connected graph $G$ is called \emph{a rainbow tree} if no two edges of it are assigned the same color. For a vertex subset $S\subseteq V(G)$, a tree is called an \emph{$S$-tree} if it connects $S$ in $G$. A…

In their 1997 paper titled ``Fruit Salad", Gy\'{a}rf\'{a}s posed the following conjecture: there exists a constant $k$ such that if each path of a graph spans a $3$-colourable subgraph, then the graph is $k$-colourable. It is noted that…

A path in an edge-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of $G$ are colored the same. For a $\kappa$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq \kappa$, the…

Given a graph $H$, let $g(n,H)$ denote the smallest $k$ for which the following holds. We can assign a $k$-colouring $f_v$ of the edge set of $K_n$ to each vertex $v$ in $K_n$ with the property that for any copy $T$ of $H$ in $K_n$, there…

We call an edge-colored graph rainbow if all of its edges receive distinct colors. An edge-colored graph $\Gamma$ is called $H$-rainbow saturated if $\Gamma$ does not contain a rainbow copy of $H$ and adding an edge of any color to $\Gamma$…

The Gy\'arf\'as-Sumner conjecture says that for every forest $H$ and every integer $k$, if $G$ is $H$-free and does not contain a clique on $k$ vertices then it has bounded chromatic number. (A graph is $H$-free if it does not contain an…

A path in a vertex-colored graph is called \emph{vertex-rainbow} if its internal vertices have pairwise distinct colors. A graph $G$ is \emph{rainbow vertex-connected} if for any two distinct vertices of $G$, there is a vertex-rainbow path…

Given a triangle-free graph $G$ with chromatic number $k$ and a proper vertex coloring $\phi$ of $G$, it is conjectured that $G$ contains an induced rainbow path on $k$ vertices under $\phi$. Scott and Seymour proved the existence of an…

Given a graph $H$ and a positive integer $k$, the {\it $k$-colored Ramsey number} $R_k(H)$ is the minimum integer $n$ such that in every $k$-edge-coloring of the complete graph $K_{n}$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H$. Given two graphs…

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$ with an edge-coloring $c$, and let $\delta^c(G)$ denote the minimum color-degree of $G$. A subgraph $F$ of $G$ is called rainbow if any two edges of $F$ have distinct colors. There have been a lot results in…

The balanced chromatic number of a signed graph G is the minimum number of balanced sets that cover all vertices of G. Studying structural conditions which imply bounds on the balanced chromatic number of signed graphs is among the most…

For a family of graphs $\cF$, a graph is called $\cF$-free if it does not contain any member of $\cF$ as a subgraph. Given a collection of graphs $(G_1,\ldots,G_t)$ on the same vertex set $V$ of size $n$, a rainbow graph on $V$ is obtained…

Given an edge-colored graph $G$, we denote the number of colors as $c(G)$, and the number of edges as $e(G)$. An edge-colored graph is rainbow if no two edges share the same color. A proper $mK_3$ is a vertex disjoint union of $m$ rainbow…
