The clique chromatic number of a graph is the smallest number of colors in a vertex coloring so that no maximal clique is monochromatic. In this paper, we determine the order of magnitude of the clique chromatic number of the random graph…

We are seeking a sufficient condition that forces a transversal in a generalized Latin square. A generalized Latin square of order $n$ is equivalent to a proper edge-coloring of $K_{n,n}$. A transversal corresponds to a multicolored perfect…

Vizing showed that it suffices to color the edges of a simple graph using $\Delta + 1$ colors, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of the graph. However, up to this date, no efficient distributed edge-coloring algorithms are known for…

The chromatic threshold $\delta_\chi(H,p)$ of a graph $H$ with respect to the random graph $G(n,p)$ is the infimum over $d > 0$ such that the following holds with high probability: the family of $H$-free graphs $G \subset G(n,p)$ with…

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, 1964]. Vizing's original proof is algorithmic and shows that such an edge…

The famous List Colouring Conjecture from the 1970s states that for every graph $G$ the chromatic index of $G$ is equal to its list chromatic index. In 1996 in a seminal paper, Kahn proved that the List Colouring Conjecture holds…

Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres's quantitative version of Ramsey's theorem asserts that any complete graph on n vertices that is edge-colored with two colors has a monochromatic clique on at least 1/2log(n) vertices. The famous Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal…

Let $G$ be a graph, $r \geq t$ integers, and $N \subseteq E(G)$. An $(r,t)$-threshold-coloring of $G$ with respect to $N$ is a mapping $c: V(G) \rightarrow \{0,\ldots,r-1\}$ such that $|c(u)-c(v)| \leq t$ for every $uv \in N$ and…

A linearly ordered (LO) $k$-colouring of a hypergraph is a colouring of its vertices with colours $1, \dots, k$ such that each edge contains a unique maximal colour. Deciding whether an input hypergraph admits LO $k$-colouring with a fixed…

Given positive integers $k \leq m$ and a graph $G$, a family of lists $L = \{L(v) : v \in V(G)\}$ is said to be a random $(k,m)$-list-assignment if for every $v \in V(G)$ the list $L(v)$ is a subset of $\{1, \ldots, m\}$ of size $k$, chosen…

A lambda colouring (or $L(2,1)-$colouring) of a graph is an assignment of non-negative integers (with minimum assignment $0$) to its vertices such that the adjacent vertices must receive integers at least two apart and vertices at distance…

It is shown that for any fixed $c \geq 3$ and $r$, the maximum possible chromatic number of a graph on $n$ vertices in which every subgraph of radius at most $r$ is $c$ colorable is $\tilde{\Theta}\left(n ^ {\frac{1}{r+1}} \right)$ (that…

Let G be an n-vertex graph with list-chromatic number $\chi_\ell$. Suppose each vertex of G is assigned a list of t colors. Albertson, Grossman, and Haas conjecture that at least $t n / {\chi_\ell}$ vertices can be colored from these lists.…

In a proper edge-coloring of a cubic graph, an edge $e$ is normal if the set of colors used by the edges adjacent to $e$ has cardinality 3 or 5. The Petersen coloring conjecture asserts that every bridgeless cubic graph has a normal…

A weighting of the edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the weighted degrees of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted degrees. In this paper…
