We study relations between three interrelated notions of graph (list) coloring: single conflict coloring, adapted list coloring and choosability with separation (with $1$ overlapping color between lists of adjacent vertices), and their…

Let G be a simple connected graph. Then chi L(G) and chi D(G) will denote the locating chromatic number and the distinguishing chromatic number of G, respectively. In this paper, we investigate a comparison between chi L(G) and chi D(G). In…

The Bell colouring graph $\mathcal{B}(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the graph whose vertices are the partitions of the vertex set of $G$ into independent sets, with an edge between two partitions if and only if one can be obtained from the other by…

A path in an edge-colored graph $G$ is called monochromatic if any two edges on the path have the same color. For $k\geq 2$, an edge-colored graph $G$ is said to be monochromatic $k$-edge-connected if every two distinct vertices of $G$ are…

We investigate the extent to which the $k$-coloring graph $\mathcal{C}_{k}(G)$ uniquely determines the base graph $G$ and the number of colors $k$. The vertices of $\mathcal{C}_{k}(G)$ are the proper $k$-colorings of $G$, and edges connect…

A graph is called to be uniquely list colorable, if it admits a list assignment which induces a unique list coloring. We study uniquely list colorable graphs with a restriction on the number of colors used. In this way we generalize a…

The distinguishing number of a graph $G$, denoted $D(G)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to produce a coloring of the vertices of $G$ so that every nontrivial isomorphism interchanges vertices of different colors. A list assignment…

Let $G$ be a graph and $f:V(G)\rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ be a function. An $f$-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge coloring such that each color appears at each vertex $v\in V(G)$ at most $f (v)$ times. The minimum number of colors needed to…

An odd coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper coloring such that any non-isolated vertex in $G$ has a coloring appears odd times on its neighbors. The odd chromatic number, denoted by $\chi_o(G)$, is the minimum number of colors that admits an…

Let $G$ be a nontrivial edge-colored connected graph. An edge-cut $R$ of $G$ is called a {\it rainbow edge-cut} if no two edges of $R$ are colored with the same color. For two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$, if an edge-cut separates…

Given a graph $G$ and a natural number $k$, the $k$-recolouring graph $\mathcal{C}_k(G)$ is the graph whose vertices are the $k$-colourings of $G$ and whose edges link pairs of colourings which differ at exactly one vertex of $G$. Recently,…

The distinguishing index of a graph $G$, denoted by $D'(G)$, is the least number of labels in an edge labeling of $G$ not preserved by any non-trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic index $\chi'_D (G)$ of a graph $G$ is the…

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. A list assignment to $G$ is an assignment $L = \{L(v)\}_{v\in V…

A vertex coloring of a graph $G$ is called distinguishing (or symmetry breaking) if no non-identity automorphism of $G$ preserves it, and the distinguishing number, shown by $D(G)$, is the smallest number of colors required for such a…

A $k$-star colouring of a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)\to\{0,1,\dots,k-1\}$ such that $f(u)\neq f(v)$ for every edge $uv$ of $G$, and every bicoloured connected subgraph of $G$ is a star. The star chromatic number of $G$, $\chi_s(G)$, is…
