An acyclic homomorphism of a digraph $C$ to a digraph $D$ is a function $\rho\colon V(C)\to V(D)$ such that for every arc $uv$ of $C$, either $\rho(u)=\rho(v)$, or $\rho(u)\rho(v)$ is an arc of $D$ and for every vertex $v\in V(D)$, the…

A divisor graph $G$ is an ordered pair $(V, E)$ where $V \subset \mathbbm{Z}$ and for all $u \neq v \in V$, $u v \in E$ if and only if $u \mid v$ or $v \mid u$. A graph which is isomorphic to a divisor graph is also called a divisor graph.…

Coloring is one of the most famous problems in graph theory. The coloring problem on undirected graphs has been well studied, whereas there are very few results for coloring problems on directed graphs. An oriented k-coloring of an oriented…

Tournaments are graphs obtained by assigning a direction for every edge in an undirected complete graph. We give a formula for the number of isomorphism classes of vertex-transitive tournaments with prime order. For that, we introduce…

Ore's Theorem states that if $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph and every pair of non-adjacent vertices has degree sum at least $n$, then $G$ is Hamiltonian. A $[3]$-graph is a hypergraph in which every edge contains at most $3$ vertices. In this…

A dominating set of a graph $G$ is a set $D\subseteq V_G$ such that every vertex in $V_G-D$ is adjacent to at least one vertex in $D$, and the domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. In…

The {\em distinguishing number} of a group $G$ acting faithfully on a set $V$ is the least number of colors needed to color the elements of $V$ so that no non-identity element of the group preserves the coloring. The {\em distinguishing…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph $H = (V, E)$ is $k$-partite if $V$ can be partitioned into $k$ sets $V_1, \ldots, V_k$ such that every edge in $E$ contains precisely one vertex from each $V_i$. We call such a graph $n$-balanced if $|V_i| = n$ for…

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…

A \emph{geometric graph} is a graph whose vertex set is a set of points in general position in the plane, and its edges are straight line segments joining these points. We show that for every integer $k \ge 2$, there exists a constat $c>0$…

The dichromatic number $\vec\chi(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the minimum size of a partition of its vertices into acyclic induced subgraphs. We denote by $\lambda(D)$ the maximum local edge connectivity of a digraph $D$. Neumann-Lara proved…

We consider edge colorings of graphs. An edge coloring is a majority coloring if for every vertex at most half of the edges incident with it are in one color. And edge coloring is a distinguishing coloring if for every non-trivial…

An oriented graph is a digraph that contains no 2-cycles, i.e., there is at most one arc between any two vertices. We show that every oriented graph $G$ of sufficiently large order $n$ with $\mathrm{deg}^+(x) +\mathrm{deg}^{-}(y)\geq…

The chromatic number $\overrightarrow{\chi}(D)$ of a digraph $D$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices of $D$ such that each color class induces an acyclic subdigraph of $D$. A digraph $D$ is $k$-critical if…

A $k$-edge-colored graph is a finite, simple graph with edges labeled by numbers $1,\ldots,k$. A function from the vertex set of one $k$-edge-colored graph to another is a homomorphism if the endpoints of any edge are mapped to two…

A graph $G$ is said to be $d$-distinguishable if there is a labeling of the vertices with $d$ labels so that only the trivial automorphism preserves the labels. The smallest such $d$ is the distinguishing number, Dist($G$). A subset of…

Given a digraph $D$ with no loops, the \textit{dicoloring graph} of $D$, denoted by $\mathcal{D}_k(D)$, is the graph whose vertices are the acyclic $k$-colorings of $D$ and two colorings are adjacent in $\mathcal{D}_k(D)$ if they differ in…
