An approach of using RGB-tilings for proving the Four Color Theorem discussed in three previous work is expanded in this paper. A novel methodology and revisions for the methodology in the three aforementioned papers are discussed, and a…
We survey some principal results and open problems related to colorings of geometric and algebraic objects endowed with symmetries, concentrating the exposition on the maximal symmetry numbers of such objects.
Vizing's theorem states that every simple undirected graph can be edge-colored using fewer than $\Delta + 1$ colors, where $\Delta$ is the graph's maximum degree. The original proof was given through a polynomial-time algorithmic procedure…
We obtain strong coloring theorems at successors of singular cardinals from failures of certain instances of simultaneous reflection of stationary sets. Along the way, we establish new results in club-guessing and in the general theory of…
We advance a probabilistic approach to the Hadwiger-Nelson problem initially developed by the Polymath16 project, in particular relating the approach to finite unit-distance graphs. We define the numerical \textit{badness} of a given…
This paper begins by exploring some old and new results about Ramsey numbers and minimum numbers of monochromatic triangles in $2$-colorings of complete graphs, both in the disjoint and non-disjoint cases. We then extend the theory, by…
Hadwiger's Conjecture states that every $K_{t+1}$-minor-free graph is $t$-colourable. It is widely considered to be one of the most important conjectures in graph theory. If every $K_{t+1}$-minor-free graph has minimum degree at most…
Let $P_1, P_2,\ldots, P_{d+1}$ be pairwise disjoint $n$-element point sets in general position in $d$-space. It is shown that there exist a point $O$ and suitable subsets $Q_i\subseteq P_i \; (i=1, 2, \ldots, d+1)$ such that $|Q_i|\geq…
Vizing's theorem states that any $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ can be edge colored using at most $\Delta + 1$ different colors. Vizing's original proof is easily translated into a deterministic $O(mn)$ time algorithm.…
The Cyclic Coloring Conjecture asserts that the vertices of every plane graph with maximum face size D can be colored using at most 3D/2 colors in such a way that no face is incident with two vertices of the same color. The Cyclic Coloring…
Given an edge colouring of a graph with a set of $m$ colours, we say that the graph is (exactly) $m$-coloured if each of the colours is used. We consider edge colourings of the complete graph on $\mathbb{N}$ with infinitely many colours and…
The work is devoted to one of the variations of the Hadwiger--Nelson problem on the chromatic number of the plane. In this formulation one needs to find for arbitrarily small $\varepsilon$ the least possible number of colors needed to color…
The road colouring theorem characterizes the class of strongly connected directed graphs with constant out-degree that admit a synchronizing road colouring. The subject of this paper is a pair of related conjectures that generalize the road…
The Total Colouring Conjecture suggests that $\Delta+3$ colours ought to suffice in order to provide a proper total colouring of every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Thus far this has been confirmed up to an additive constant…
The Gr\"{o}tzsch Theorem states that every triangle-free planar graph admits a proper $3$-coloring. Among many of its generalizations, the one of Gr\"{u}nbaum and Aksenov, giving $3$-colorability of planar graphs with at most three…
Let $G(n,m)$ be the random graph on $n$ vertices with $m$ edges. Let $d=2m/n$ be its average degree. We prove that $G(n,m)$ fails to be $k$-colorable with high probability if $d>2k\ln k-\ln k-1+o_k(1)$. This matches a conjecture put forward…
Our point of departure is the following simple common generalisation of the Sylvester-Gallai theorem and the Motzkin-Rabin theorem: Let S be a finite set of points in the plane, with each point coloured red or blue or with both colours.…
We prove that the entropy compression method systematized by L. Esperet and A. Parreau [11] can be applied to any problem formulated in the variable version of the Lov\'asz Local Lemma. As an application, we prove the existence of…
A vertex coloring of a given simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with $k$ colors ($k$-coloring) is a map from its vertex set to the set of integers $\{1,2,3,\dots, k\}$. A coloring is called perfect if the multiset of colors appearing on the neighbours…
These notes are designed to offer some (perhaps new) codicils to related work, a list of problems and conjectures seeking (preferably) combinatorial proofs. The main items are Eulerian polynomials and hook/contents of Young diagram, mostly…
