Consider a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ and its proper total colouring $c$ with the elements of the set $\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$. The colouring $c$ is said to be \emph{neighbour sum distinguishing} if for every pair of…
Given a graph $G$, an injective edge-coloring of $G$ is a function $\psi:E(G) \rightarrow \mathbb N$ such that if $\psi(e) = \psi(e')$, then no third edge joins an endpoint of $e$ and an endpoint of $e'$. The injective chromatic index of a…
A dominating set in a graph $G$ is a set $S$ of vertices such that every vertex that does not belong to $S$ is adjacent to a vertex in $S$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of $G$. The…
An {\em acyclic edge coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring such that the subgraph induced by any two color classes is a linear forest (an acyclic graph with maximum degree at most two). The {\em acyclic chromatic index}…
The chromatic discrepancy of a graph $G$, denoted $\phi(G)$, is the least over all proper colourings $\sigma$ of $G$ of the greatest difference between the number of colours $|\sigma(V(H))|$ spanned by an induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ and its…
The {\em disjointness graph} $G=G({\cal S})$ of a set of segments ${\cal S}$ in $R^d$, $d\ge 2,$ is a graph whose vertex set is ${\cal S}$ and two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if the corresponding segments are disjoint. We…
By Lovasz' proof of the Kneser conjecture, the chromatic number of a graph G is bounded from below by the index of the Z_2-space Hom(K_2,G) plus two. We show that the cohomological index of Hom(K_2,G) is also greater than the cohomological…
An interval coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of E(G) by positive integers such that the colors on the edges incident to any vertex are consecutive. A (3,4)-biregular bigraph is a bipartite graph in which each vertex of one part…
Intermediate rings of real valued continuous functions with countable range on a Hausdorff zero-dimensional space $X$ are introduced in this article. Let $\Sigma_c(X)$ be the family of all such intermediate rings $A_c(X)$'s which lie…
A class of graphs is $\chi$-bounded if there is a function $f$ such that $\chi(G)\le f(\omega(G))$ for every induced subgraph $G$ of every graph in the class, where $\chi,\omega$ denote the chromatic number and clique number of $G$…
The distinguishing index $D'(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least number of colors necessary to obtain an edge coloring of $G$ that is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. We show that if $G$ is a connected $\alpha$-regular graph for some…
The zero-divisor graph of a finite commutative ring with unity is the graph whose vertex set is the set of zero-divisors in the ring, with $a$ and $b$ adjacent if $ab=0$. We show that the class of zero-divisor graphs is universal, in the…
Let M be a module over a commutative ring R. In this paper, we continue our study of annihilating-submodule graph AG(M) which was introduced in (The Zariski topology-graph of modules over commutative rings, Comm. Algebra., 42 (2014),…
An injective colouring of a graph is a colouring in which every two vertices sharing a common neighbour receive a different colour. Chen, Hahn, Raspaud and Wang conjectured that every planar graph of maximum degree $\Delta \ge 3$ admits an…
A total labeling of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is said to be local total antimagic if it is a bijection $f: V\cup E \to\{1,\ldots ,|V|+|E|\}$ such that adjacent vertices, adjacent edges, and incident vertex and edge have distinct induced weights…
The strong chromatic index of a graph $G$, denoted $\chi_s'(G)$, is the least number of colors needed to edge-color $G$ so that edges at distance at most two receive distinct colors. The strong list chromatic index, denoted…
Given a graph $G$, a coloring $c:V(G)\longrightarrow \{1,\ldots,k\}$ such that $c(u)=c(v)=i$ implies that vertices $u$ and $v$ are at distance greater than $i$, is called a packing coloring of $G$. The minimum number of colors in a packing…
Let $G$ be a graph. We introduce the acyclic b-chromatic number of $G$ as an analogue to the b-chromatic number of $G$. An acyclic coloring of a graph $G$ is a map $c:V(G)\rightarrow \{1,\dots,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ for any $uv\in…
Hadwiger's conjecture is one of the most important and long-standing conjectures in graph theory. Reed and Seymour showed in 2004 that Hadwiger's conjecture is true for line graphs. We investigate this conjecture on the closely related…
Gy{\'a}rf{\'a}s et al. and Zaker have proven that the Grundy number of a graph $G$ satisfies $\Gamma(G)\ge t$ if and only if $G$ contains an induced subgraph called a $t$-atom.The family of $t$-atoms has bounded order and contains a finite…
