An $r$-uniform hypergraph $H = (V, E)$ is $r$-partite if there exists a partition of the vertex set into $r$ parts such that each edge contains exactly one vertex from each part. We say an independent set in such a hypergraph is balanced if…

In an $r$-coloring of edges of the complete graph on $n$ vertices, how many edges are there in the largest monochromatic connected component? A construction of Gy\'arf\'as shows that for infinitely many values of $r$, there exist colorings…

We study when a given edge of a factor-critical graph is contained in a matching avoiding exactly one, pregiven vertex of the graph. We then apply the results to always partition the vertex-set of a $3$-regular, $3$-uniform hypergraph into…

Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $\Delta(G)$. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is overfull if $|E(H)|>\Delta(G)\lfloor |V(H)|/2 \rfloor$. Chetwynd and Hilton in 1985 conjectured that a graph $G$ with $\Delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ has chromatic…

Krenn, Gu and Zeilinger initiated the study of PMValid edge-colourings because of its connection to a problem from quantum physics. A graph is defined to have a PMValid $k$-edge-colouring if it admits a $k$-edge-colouring (i.e. an edge…

We define a perfect coloring of a graph $G$ as a proper coloring of $G$ such that every connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ uses exactly $\omega(H)$ many colors where $\omega(H)$ is the clique number of $H$. A graph is perfectly colorable…

One of the foundational theorems of extremal graph theory is Dirac's theorem, which says that if an n-vertex graph G has minimum degree at least n/2, then G has a Hamilton cycle, and therefore a perfect matching (if n is even). Later work…

In 1973 P. Erd\H{o}s and L. Lov\'asz noticed that any hypergraph whose edges are pairwise intersecting has chromatic number 2 or 3. In the first case, such hypergraph may have any number of edges. However, Erd\H{o}s and Lov\'asz proved that…

In this paper, we first study a new extremal problem recently posed by Conlon and Tyomkyn~(arXiv: 2002.00921). Given a graph $H$ and an integer $k\geqslant 2$, let $f_{k}(n,H)$ be the smallest number of colors $c$ such that there exists a…

Properly colored cycles in edge-colored graphs are closely related to directed cycles in oriented graphs. As an analogy of the well-known Caccetta-H\"{a}ggkvist Conjecture, we study the existence of properly colored cycles of bounded length…

A colouring of a hypergraph's vertices is polychromatic if every hyperedge contains at least one vertex of each colour; the polychromatic number is the maximum number of colours in such a colouring. Its dual, the cover-decomposition number,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph of maximum degree $\Delta$. The edges of $G$ can be colored with at most $\Delta +1$ colors by Vizing's theorem. We study lower bounds on the size of subgraphs of $G$ that can be colored with $\Delta$ colors.…

A rainbow matching in an edge-colored graph is a matching in which no two edges have the same color. The color degree of a vertex v is the number of different colors on edges incident to v. Kritschgau [Electron. J. Combin. 27(2020)] studied…

Let $H=(V,E)$ be a hypergraph. A {\em conflict-free} coloring of $H$ is an assignment of colors to $V$ such that in each hyperedge $e \in E$ there is at least one uniquely-colored vertex. This notion is an extension of the classical graph…
