We consider a generalization of the classic Sperner lemma. This lemma states that every Sperner coloring of a triangulation of a simplex contains a fully colored simplex. We found a weaker assumption than Sperner's coloring. It is also…

Bonamy et al. (2023) proved that an optimal edge coloring of a simple triangle--free graph $G$ can be reached from any given proper edge coloring of $G$ through a series of Kempe changes. We show that a small modification of their proof…

A vertex coloring of a given simple graph $G=(V,E)$ with $k$ colors ($k$-coloring) is a map from its vertex set to the set of integers $\{1,2,3,\dots, k\}$. A coloring is called perfect if the multiset of colors appearing on the neighbours…

DP-coloring (or correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring that has been widely studied since its introduction by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. As the analogue of the chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$, $P(G,m)$,…

The chromatic polynomial of a graph $G$, denoted $P(G,m)$, is equal to the number of proper $m$-colorings of $G$. The list color function of graph $G$, denoted $P_{\ell}(G,m)$, is a list analogue of the chromatic polynomial that has been…

A generalization of list-coloring, now known as DP-coloring, was recently introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle. Essentially, DP-coloring assigns an arbitrary matching between lists of colors at adjacent vertices, as opposed to only…

It is known that DP-coloring is a generalization of a list coloring in simple graphs and many results in list coloring can be generalized in those of DP-coloring. In this work, we introduce a relaxed DP-coloring which is a generalization if…

DP-coloring (also called correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle in 2015. The DP-chromatic number of a graph $G$, $\chi_{_{DP}}(G)$, is the analogue of the chromatic number of…

In this paper we consider coloring problems on graphs and other combinatorial structures on standard Borel spaces. Our goal is to obtain sufficient conditions under which such colorings can be made well-behaved in the sense of topology or…

DP-coloring (also known as correspondence coloring) is a generalization of list coloring introduced by Dvo\u{r}\'{a}k and Postle (2017). Recently, Huang et al. [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amc.2019.124562] showed that planar graphs with…

For $p\in \mathbb{N}$, a coloring $\lambda$ of the vertices of a graph $G$ is {\em{$p$-centered}} if for every connected subgraph~$H$ of $G$, either $H$ receives more than $p$ colors under $\lambda$ or there is a color that appears exactly…

DP-coloring is a generalization of list coloring introduced recently by Dvo\v{r}\'ak and Postle. We prove that for every $n$-vertex graph $G$ whose chromatic number $\chi(G)$ is "close" to $n$, the DP-chromatic number of $G$ equals…

The dichromatic number of a digraph $D$ is the minimum number of colors needed to color its vertices in such a way that each color class induces an acyclic digraph. As it generalizes the notion of the chromatic number of graphs, it has been…

There are many concepts of signed graph coloring which are defined by assigning colors to the vertices of the graphs. These concepts usually differ in the number of self-inverse colors used. We introduce a unifying concept for this kind of…
