In this paper, we present results for the rainbow neighbourhood numbers of set-graphs. It is also shown that set-graphs are perfect graphs. The intuitive colouring dilemma in respect of the rainbow neighbourhood convention is clarified as…
Given a set of points in the plane, we are interested in matching them with straight line segments. We focus on perfect (all points are matched) non-crossing (no two edges intersect) matchings. Apart from the well known MinMax variation,…
For a family of graphs $\cF$, a graph is called $\cF$-free if it does not contain any member of $\cF$ as a subgraph. Given a collection of graphs $(G_1,\ldots,G_t)$ on the same vertex set $V$ of size $n$, a rainbow graph on $V$ is obtained…
The closed neighbourhood $N[v]$ of a vertex $v$ of a graph $G$, consisting of at least one vertex from all colour classes with respect to a proper colouring of $G$, is called a rainbow neighbourhood in $G$. The minimum number of vertices…
A rainbow neighbourhood of a graph $G$ with respect to a proper colouring $\C$ of $G$ is the closed neighbourhood $N[v]$ of a vertex $v$ in $G$ such that $N[v]$ consists of vertices from all colour classes in $G$ with respect to $\C$. The…
Given a multi-hypergraph $G$ that is edge-colored into color classes $E_1, \ldots, E_n$, a full rainbow matching is a matching of $G$ that contains exactly one edge from each color class $E_i$. One way to guarantee the existence of a full…
We use computational experiments to find the rectangles of minimum area into which a given number n of non-overlapping congruent circles can be packed. No assumption is made on the shape of the rectangles. Most of the packings found have…
A rainbow stacking of $r$-edge-colorings $\chi_1, \ldots, \chi_m$ of the complete graph on $n$ vertices is a way of superimposing $\chi_1, \ldots, \chi_m$ so that no edges of the same color are superimposed on each other. We determine a…
Let $G$ be a simple graph that is properly edge coloured with $m$ colours and let $\M=\{M_1,\ldots, M_m\}$ be the set of $m$ matchings induced by the colours in $G$. Suppose that $m\le n-n^{c}$, where $c>9/10$, and every matching in $\M$…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of chromatic number $k$. For a $k$-coloring $f$ of $G$, a full $f$-rainbow path is a path of order $k$ in $G$ whose vertices are all colored differently by $f$. We show that $G$ has a $k$-coloring $f$ such that…
Given a point set $S=\{s_1,\ldots , s_n\}$ in the unit square $U=[0,1]^2$, an anchored square packing is a set of $n$ interior-disjoint empty squares in $U$ such that $s_i$ is a corner of the $i$th square. The reach $R(S)$ of $S$ is the set…
A path in an edge-colored graph is said to be rainbow if no color repeats on it. An edge-colored graph is said to be rainbow $k$-connected if every pair of vertices is connected by $k$ internally disjoint rainbow paths. The rainbow…
The $t$-colored rainbow saturation number $rsat_t(n,F)$ is the minimum size of a $t$-edge-colored graph on $n$ vertices that contains no rainbow copy of $F$, but the addition of any missing edge in any color creates such a rainbow copy.…
We say that an edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is proper if every pair of incident edges receive distinct colors, and is rainbow if no two edges of $G$ receive the same color. Furthermore, given a fixed graph $F$, we say that $G$ is rainbow…
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 it are colored the same. A nontrivial connected graph $G$ is rainbow connected if for any two vertices of $G$…
Let $c$ be an edge-coloring of the complete $n$-vertex graph $K_n$. The problem of finding properly colored and rainbow Hamilton cycles in $c$ was initiated in 1976 by Bollob\'as and Erd\H os and has been extensively studied since then.…
The Largest Empty Circle problem seeks the largest circle centered within the convex hull of a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and devoid of points from $P$. In this paper, we introduce a query version of this well-studied problem.…
A graph has a locating rainbow coloring if every pair of its vertices can be connected by a path passing through internal vertices with distinct colors and every vertex generates a unique rainbow code. The minimum number of colors needed…
A spanning tree of a properly edge-colored complete graph, $K_n$, is rainbow provided that each of its edges receives a distinct color. In 1996, Brualdi and Hollingsworth conjectured that if $K_{2m}$ is properly $(2m-1)$-edge-colored, then…
A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. The study of rainbow subgraphs goes back more than two hundred years to the work of Euler on Latin squares and has been the focus of extensive…
