A path in an edge-colored graph is called {\em rainbow} if no two edges of it are colored the same. For an $\ell$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq \ell$, the {\em rainbow $k$-connection number} $rc_k(G)$ of $G$ is…

Let $\mathbf{G}:=(G_1, G_2, G_3)$ be a triple of graphs on a common vertex set $V$ of size $n$. A rainbow triangle in $\mathbf{G}$ is a triple of edges $(e_1, e_2, e_3)$ with $e_i\in G_i$ for each $i$ and $\{e_1, e_2, e_3\}$ forming a…

Let $G = (G_1, G_2, \ldots, G_m)$ be a collection of $m$ graphs on a common vertex set $V$. For a graph $H$ with vertices in $V$, we say that $G$ contains a rainbow $H$ if there is an injection $c: E(H) \to [m]$ such that for every edge $e…

A famous conjecture of Caccetta and H\"{a}ggkvist (CHC) states that a directed graph $D$ with $n$ vertices and minimum outdegree at least $r$ has a directed cycle of length at most $\lceil \frac{n}{r}\rceil$. In 2017, Aharoni proposed the…

Rainbow connection number, $rc(G)$, of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of colours needed to colour its edges, so that every pair of vertices is connected by at least one path in which no two edges are coloured the same. In this…

A rainbow matching in an edge-coloured graph is a matching such that its edges have distinct colours. We show that every properly edge-coloured graph $G$ with $|G| \ge (9\delta(G) -5)/2$ has a rainbow matching of size $\delta(G)$, improving…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring $c: E(G)\rightarrow \{1,2,...,q\},$ $q \in \mathbb{N}$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree $T$ in $G$ is a $rainbow tree$ if no two edges of $T$ receive the…

In 2017, Ron Aharoni made the following conjecture about rainbow cycles in edge-coloured graphs: If $G$ is an $n$-vertex graph whose edges are coloured with $n$ colours and each colour class has size at least $r$, then $G$ contains a…

We consider the following random model for edge-colored graphs. A graph $G$ on $n$ vertices is fixed, and a random subgraph $G_p$ is chosen by letting each edge of $G$ remain independently with probability $p$. Then, each edge of $G_p$ is…

Let $G$ be an edge-coloured graph. The minimum colour degree $\delta^c(G)$ of $G$ is the largest integer $k$ such that, for every vertex $v$, there are at least $k$ distinct colours on edges incident to $v$. We say that $G$ is properly…

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…

For a graph $G$, we define $\sigma_2(G)=min \{d(u)+d(v)| u,v\in V(G), uv\not\in E(G)\}$, or simply denoted by $\sigma_2$. A edge-colored graph is rainbow edge-connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct…
