Given a multigraph, suppose that each vertex is given a local assignment of $k$ colours to its incident edges. We are interested in whether there is a choice of one local colour per vertex such that no edge has both of its local colours…
The biclique partition number $(\text{bp})$ of a graph $G$ is referred to as the least number of complete bipartite (biclique) subgraphs that are required to cover the edges of the graph exactly once. In this paper, we show that the…
The classical Andr\'{a}sfai-Erd\H{o}s-S\'{o}s theorem considers the chromatic number of $K_{r + 1}$-free graphs with large minimum degree, and in the case $r = 2$ says that any $n$-vertex triangle-free graph with minimum degree greater than…
A graph $G$ is called \emph{chromatic-choosable} if its choice number is equal to its chromatic number, namely $Ch(G)=\chi(G)$. Ohba has conjectured that every graph $G$ satisfying $|V(G)|\leq 2\chi(G)+1$ is chromatic-choosable. Since each…
We prove that there exist perfect graphs of arbitrarily large clique-chromatic number. These graphs can be obtained from cobipartite graphs by repeatedly gluing along cliques. This negatively answers a question raised by Duffus, Sands,…
We show that any n-vertex complete graph with edges colored with three colors contains a set of at most four vertices such that the number of the neighbors of these vertices in one of the colors is at least 2n/3. The previous best value,…
Finding the multiplicity of cycles in bipartite graphs is a fundamental problem of interest in many fields including the analysis and design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Recently, Blake and Lin computed the number of shortest…
We consider the algorithmic complexity of recognizing bipartite temporal graphs. Rather than defining these graphs solely by their underlying graph or individual layers, we define a bipartite temporal graph as one in which every layer can…
An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with natural numbers is called a sum edge-coloring if the colors of edges incident to any vertex of $G$ are distinct and the sum of the colors of the edges of $G$ is minimum. The edge-chromatic sum of a graph…
In this paper we study the maximum value of the largest eigenvalue for simple bipartite graphs, where the number of edges is given and the number of vertices on each side of the bipartition is given. We state a conjectured solution, which…
Ramsey's Theorem guarantees for every graph H that any 2-edge-coloring of a sufficiently large complete graph contains a monochromatic copy of H. In 1962, Erdos conjectured that the random 2-edge-coloring minimizes the number of…
It takes $n^2/4$ cliques to cover all the edges of a complete bipartite graph $K_{n/2,n/2}$, but how many cliques does it take to cover all the edges of a graph $G$ if $G$ has no $K_{t,t}$ induced subgraph? We prove that $O(|G|^{2-1/(2t)})$…
A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors to edges such that every color class induces a matching. We here focus on bipartite graphs whose one part is of maximum degree at most $3$ and the other part is of maximum…
A well-known conjecture by Erd\H{o}s states that every triangle-free graph on $n$ vertices can be made bipartite by removing at most $n^2/25$ edges. This conjecture was known for graphs with edge density at least $0.4$ and edge density at…
Given a coloring of the edges of the complete graph on n vertices in k colors, by considering the neighbors of an arbitrary vertex it follows that there is a monochromatic diameter two subgraph on at least 1+(n-1)/k vertices. We show that…
In 1991 Gy\H ori, Pach, and Simonovits proved that for any bipartite graph $H$ containing a matching avoiding at most 1 vertex, the maximum number of copies of $H$ in any large enough triangle-free graph is achieved in a balanced complete…
A beautiful conjecture of Erd\H{o}s-Simonovits and Sidorenko states that if H is a bipartite graph, then the random graph with edge density p has in expectation asymptotically the minimum number of copies of H over all graphs of the same…
Given a bipartite graph $H$ and an integer $n$, let $f(n;H)$ be the smallest integer such that, any set of edge disjoint copies of $H$ on $n$ vertices, can be extended to an $H$-design on at most $n+f(n;H)$ vertices. We establish tight…
Let $r \geqslant 0$ and $k \geqslant 1$ be integers. We say that a graph $G$ has an $r$-equitable $k$-coloring if there exists a proper $k$-coloring of $G$ such that the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most $r$. The least $k$…
The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is the graph defined on $V(G)$ such that two vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent in $G^2$ if the distance between $u$ and $v$ in $G$ is at most 2. Let $\chi(H)$ and $\chi_{\ell}(H)$ be the chromatic number and…
