We investigate a communication setup where a source output is sent through a free noisy channel first and an additional codeword is sent through a noiseless but expensive channel later. With the help of the second message the decoder should…
Motivated by Dohmen-P\"onitz-Tittmann's bivariate chromatic polynomial $\chi_G(x,y)$, which counts all $x$-colorings of a graph $G$ such that adjacent vertices get different colors if they are $\le y$, we introduce a bivarate version of…
Graph coloring with preferences offers a powerful framework for constraint satisfaction problems in which fulfilling every request is impossible but satisfying a guaranteed positive fraction is highly desirable. A \emph{request} on a graph…
It has been shown by Bokal et al. that deciding 2-colourability of digraphs is an NP-complete problem. This result was later on extended by Feder et al. to prove that deciding whether a digraph has a circular $p$-colouring is NP-complete…
DP-coloring of a simple graph is a generalization of list coloring, and also a generalization of signed coloring of signed graphs. It is known that for each $k \in \{3, 4, 5, 6\}$, every planar graph without $C_k$ is 4-choosable.…
A coloring of vertices of a graph is called perfect if, for every vertex, the collection of colors of its neighbors depends only on its own color. The correspondent color partition of vertices is called equitable. We note that a number of…
In relation to oriented coloring and chromatic number, the parameter oriented relative clique number of an oriented graph $\overrightarrow{G}$, denoted by $\omega_{ro}(\overrightarrow{G})$, is the main focus of this work. We solve an open…
We revisit a well-known family of polynomial ideals encoding the problem of graph-$k$-colorability. Our paper describes how the inherent combinatorial structure of the ideals implies several interesting algebraic properties. Specifically,…
We study the classification of $\mathbb{Z}$-DGAs with polynomial homology $\mathbb{F}_p[x]$ with $\lvert x \rvert >0$, motivated by computations in algebraic $K$-theory. This classification problem was left open in work of Dwyer, Greenlees,…
In this study, the Rank Genetic Algorithm was adapted to address a problem in the field of Chromatic Graph Theory, namely, on the parameter called the connected-pseudoachromatic index. We successfully improved several previously known…
We consider several generalizations of the classical $\gamma$-positivity of Eulerian polynomials (and their derangement analogues) using generating functions and combinatorial theory of continued fractions. For the symmetric group, we prove…
For a fixed digraph $\mathbb H$, the $\mathbb H$-coloring problem is the problem of deciding whether a given input digraph $\mathbb G$ admits a homomorphism to $\mathbb H$. The CSP dichotomy conjecture of Feder and Vardi is equivalent to…
The Total coloring conjecture states that any simple graph G with maximum degree D can be totally colored with at most D+2 colors. In this paper, we have obtained the total chromatic number for some classes of Cayley graphs.
In 2006, Collins and Trenk obtained a general sharp upper bound for the distinguishing chromatic number of a connected graph. Inspired by Catlin's combinatorial techniques from 1978, we establish improved upper bounds for classes of…
We introduce several new set-theoretic axioms formulated in terms of coloring of ordinals by reals. We show that these axioms generalize the axioms considered by I.Juhasz, L.Soukup and Z.Szentmiklossy, and give a class of p.o.s including…
We prove a common extension of Bang's and Kadets' lemmas for contact pairs, in the spirit of the Colourful Carath\'eodory Theorem. We also formulate a generalized version of the affine plank problem and prove it under special assumptions.…
Our purpose is to show that complements of line graphs enjoy nice coloring properties. We show that for all graphs in this class the local and usual chromatic numbers are equal. We also prove a sufficient condition for the chromatic number…
Jaeger et al. in 1992 introduced group coloring as the dual concept to group connectivity in graphs. Let $A$ be an additive Abelian group, $ f: E(G)\to A$ and $D$ an orientation of a graph $G$. A vertex coloring $c:V(G)\to A$ is an $(A,…
The vertex coloring problem asks for the minimum number of colors that can be assigned to the vertices of a given graph such that each two adjacent vertices get different colors. For this NP-hard problem, a variety of integer linear…
We give an induction-free axiom system for diophantine correct open induction. We relate the problem of whether a finitely generated ring of Puiseux polynomials is diophantine correct to a problem about the value-distribution of a tuple of…
