For a given $\delta \in (0,1)$, the randomly perturbed graph model is defined as the union of any $n$-vertex graph $G_0$ with minimum degree $\delta n$ and the binomial random graph $\mathbf{G}(n,p)$ on the same vertex set. Moreover, we say…

For a given collection $\mathcal{G} = (G_1,\dots, G_k)$ of graphs on a common vertex set $V$, which we call a \emph{graph system}, a graph $H$ on a vertex set $V(H) \subseteq V$ is called a \emph{rainbow subgraph} of $\mathcal{G}$ if there…

A path in an edge-colored graph, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is a rainbow path if no two edges of it are colored the same. A nontrivial connected graph $G$ is rainbow connected if there is a rainbow path connecting any two…

A rainbow path in an edge coloured graph is a path in which no two edges are coloured the same. A rainbow colouring of a connected graph G is a colouring of the edges of G such that every pair of vertices in G is connected by at least one…

Let $F$ be a graph and $\mathcal{H}$ be a hypergraph, both embedded on the same vertex set. We say $\mathcal{H}$ is a Berge-$F$ if there exists a bijection $\phi:E(F)\to E(\mathcal{H})$ such that $e\subseteq \phi(e)$ for all $e\in E(F)$. We…

For a fixed graph $H$, what is the smallest number of colours $C$ such that there is a proper edge-colouring of the complete graph $K_n$ with $C$ colours containing no two vertex-disjoint colour-isomorphic copies, or repeats, of $H$? We…

A graph has a locating rainbow coloring if every pair of its vertices can be connected by a path passing through internal vertices with distinct colors and every vertex generates a unique rainbow code. The minimum number of colors needed…

An edge-colored graph $G$ is rainbow connected, if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph $G$, denoted $rc(G)$, is the smallest number of colors that are…

Given a graph on $n$ vertices and an assignment of colours to the edges, a rainbow Hamilton cycle is a cycle of length $n$ visiting each vertex once and with pairwise different colours on the edges. Similarly (for even $n$) a rainbow…

We obtain sufficient conditions for the emergence of spanning and almost-spanning bounded-degree {\sl rainbow} trees in various host graphs, having their edges coloured independently and uniformly at random, using a predetermined palette.…

In this paper we consider properly edge-colored graphs, i.e. two edges with the same color cannot share an endpoint, so each color class is a matching. A matching is called \it rainbow \rm if its edges have different colors. The minimum…

Given a graph $F$, a hypergraph is a Berge-$F$ if it can be obtained by expanding each edge in $F$ to a hyperedge containing it. A hypergraph $H$ is Berge-$F$-saturated if $H$ does not contain a subgraph that is a Berge-$F$, but for any…

A graph $G$ is said to be $F$-free, if $G$ does not contain any copy of $F$. $G$ is said to be $F$-semi-saturated, if the addition of any nonedge $e \not \in E(G)$ would create a new copy of $F$ in $G+e$. $G$ is said to be $F$-saturated, if…

Given a family ${\mathcal F}$ and a host graph $H$, a graph $G\subseteq H$ is ${\mathcal F}$-saturated relative to $H$ if no subgraph of $G$ lies in ${\mathcal F}$ but adding any edge from $E(H)-E(G)$ to $G$ creates such a subgraph. In the…

For a graph with colored vertices, a rainbow subgraph is one where all vertices have different colors. For graph $G$, let $c_k(G)$ denote the maximum number of different colors in a coloring without a rainbow path on $k$ vertices, and…

Let $G$ be an edge-colored graph. We use $e(G)$ and $c(G)$ to denote the number of edges and colors in $G$, respectively. A subgraph $H$ is called rainbow if $c(H)=e(H)$. Li et al. (European J. Combin., 36 (2014), 453-459) proved that every…

A subgraph of an edge-coloured graph is called rainbow if all its edges have distinct colours. The study of rainbow subgraphs goes back more than two hundred years to the work of Euler on Latin squares. Since then rainbow structures have…
