A well-known consequence of Schur's theorem is that for $r\in \mathbb{N}$, if $n$ is sufficiently large, then any $r$-colouring of $[n]$ results in monochromatic $a,b,c\in [n]$ such that $ab=c$. In this paper we are interested in the…

A sequence $D = \{d_1,...d_n\}$ is a feasible degree sequence if there is a graph on $\{1,...,n\}$ such that $i$ has degree $d_i$. For such a sequence, $G(D)$ is a graph chosen uniformly at random from those with the given degree sequence.…

A graph $G$ is called $(a,b)$-choosable if for any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $a$ permissible colours, there is a $b$-tuple $L$-colouring of $G$. An $(a,1)$-choosable graph is also called…

We introduce a new framework for reconfiguration problems, and apply it to independent sets as the first example. Suppose that we are given an independent set $I_0$ of a graph $G$, and an integer $l \ge 0$ which represents a lower bound on…

A graph G is (d_1,..,d_l)-colorable if the vertex set of G can be partitioned into subsets V_1,..,V_l such that the graph G[V_i] induced by the vertices of V_i has maximum degree at most d_i for all 1 <= i <= l. In this paper, we focus on…

A structure $\mathcal{A}=\left(A;E_i\right)_{i\in n}$ where each $E_i$ is an equivalence relation on $A$ is called an $n$-grid if any two equivalence classes coming from distinct $E_i$'s intersect in a finite set. A function $\chi: A \to n$…

Let D be a finite set of positive real numbers. The distance graph G(R,D) is the graph with vertex set R (set of real numbers), and two vertices x, y are adjacent if |x-y| belongs to D. We prove that every positive integer t>1 there is a…

The combinatorial discrepancy of arithmetic progressions inside $[N] := \{1, \ldots, N\}$ is the smallest integer $D$ for which $[N]$ can be colored with two colors so that any arithmetic progression in $[N]$ contains at most $D$ more…

Subshifts are sets of colorings of $\mathbb{Z}^d$ defined by families of forbidden patterns. In a given subshift, the extender set of a finite pattern is the set of all its admissible completions. Since soficity of $\mathbb{Z}$ subshifts is…

A graph $G$ is embeddable in $\mathbb{R}^d$ if vertices of $G$ can be assigned with points of $\mathbb{R}^d$ in such a way that all pairs of adjacent vertices are at the distance 1. We show that verifying embeddability of a given graph in…

In this paper we extend the works of Tancer and of Malgouyres and Franc\'es, showing that $(d,k)$-collapsibility is NP-complete for $d\geq k+2$ except $(2,0)$. By $(d,k)$-collapsibility we mean the following problem: determine whether a…

We study some generalized notions of cohesiveness which arise naturally in connection with effective versions of Ramsey's Theorem. An infinite set $A$ of natural numbers is $n$--cohesive (respectively, $n$--r--cohesive) if $A$ is almost…

In this paper, the reachability of dimension-bounded linear systems is investigated.Since state dimensions of dimension-bounded linear systems vary with time, the expression of state dimension at each time is provided.A method for judging…

A set of graphs is said to be independent if there is no homomorphism between distinct graphs from the set. We consider the existence problems related to the independent sets of countable graphs. While the maximal size of an independent set…

This work investigates structural and computational aspects of list-based graph coloring under interval constraints. Building on the framework of analogous and p-analogous problems, we show that classical List Coloring, $\mu$-coloring, and…

Furstenberg, Glasscock, Bergelson, Beiglboeck have been studied abundance in arithmatic progression on various large sets like piecewise syndetic, central, thick, etc. but also there are so many sets in which abundance in progression is…

Suppose that $nk$ points in general position in the plane are colored red and blue, with at least $n$ points of each color. We show that then there exist $n$ pairwise disjoint convex sets, each of them containing $k$ of the points, and each…

We explore from several perspectives the following question: given $X\subseteq \mathbb{Z}$ and $N\in \mathbb{N}$, what is the maximum size $D(X,N)$ of $A\subseteq \{1,2,\dots,N\}$ before $A$ is forced to contain two distinct elements that…

A set D of vertices of a graph G=(V,E) is irredundant if each v of D satisfies (a) v is isolated in the subgraph induced by D, or (b) v is adjacent to a vertex in V-D that is nonadjacent to all other vertices in D. The upper irredundance…

A set D of vertices of a graph G with vertex set V is irredundant if each non-isolated vertex of G[D] has a neighbour in V-D that is not adjacent to any other vertex in D. The upper irredundance number IR(G) is the largest cardinality of an…
