Thomassen proved that all planar graphs are $5$-choosable. \v{S}krekovski strengthened the result by showing that all $K_{5}$-minor-free graphs are $5$-choosable. Dvo\v{r}\'{a}k and Postle pointed out that all planar graphs are…

This paper studies the choosability of signed planar graphs. We prove that every signed planar graph is 5-choosable and that there is a signed planar graph which is not 4-choosable while the unsigned graph is 4-choosable. For each $k \in…

The idea that those different from you are "unfriendly" is captured in the definition of unfriendly 2-colorings in graph theory in a paper by Aharoni, Milner and Prikry, where they prove that every finite graph has an unfriendly coloring.…

Let $Y_{3,2}$ be the 3-graph with two edges intersecting in two vertices. We prove that every 3-graph $ H $ on $ n $ vertices with at least $ \max \left \{ \binom{4\alpha n}{3}, \binom{n}{3}-\binom{n-\alpha n}{3} \right \}+o(n^3) $ edges…

A graph is reconstructible if it is determined up to isomorphism by the multiset of its proper induced subgraphs. The reconstruction conjecture postulates that every graph of order at least 3 is reconstructible. We show that interval graphs…

We prove that there exist infinitely many splittable and also infinitely many unsplittable cyclic $(n_3)$ configurations. We also present a complete study of trivalent cyclic Haar graphs on at most 60 vertices with respect to splittability.…

It is well-known that every planar or projective planar graph can be 3-colored so that each color class induces a forest. This bound is sharp. In this paper, we show that there are in fact exponentially many 3-colorings of this kind for any…

A graph $G=(V,E)$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if the following holds: For any list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and assigns to each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers,…

In 2013, Chan classified all metric hyperelliptic graphs, proving that divisorial gonality and geometric gonality are equivalent in the hyperelliptic case. We show that such a classification extends to combinatorial graphs of divisorial…

Tutte conjectured in 1972 that every 4-edge connected graph has a nowhere-zero 3-flow. This has long been known to be equivalent to the conjecture that every 5-regular 4-edge-connected graph has an edge orientation in which every out-degree…

In 2008, Chen and Chv\'atal conjectured that in every finite metric space of $n$ points, there are at least $n$ distinct lines, or the whole set of points is a line. This is a generalization of a classical result in the Euclidean plane. The…

In 1980, Erd\H{o}s, Rubin and Taylor asked whether for all positive integers $a$, $b$, and $m$, every $(a:b)$-choosable graph is also $(am:bm)$-choosable. We provide a negative answer by exhibiting a $4$-choosable graph that is not…

In this paper, we give a lengthy proof of a small result! A graph is bisplit if its vertex set can be partitioned into three stable sets with two of them inducing a complete bipartite graph. We prove that these graphs satisfy the…

A graph $G$ is total weight $(k,k')$-choosable if for any total list assignment $L$ which assigns to each vertex $v$ a set $L(v)$ of $k$ real numbers, and each edge $e$ a set $L(e)$ of $k'$ real numbers, there is a proper total…

We confirm the eventual evasiveness of several classes of monotone graph properties under widely accepted number theoretic hypotheses. In particular we show that Chowla's conjecture on Dirichlet primes implies that (a) for any graph $H$,…

In 2019, P. Higgins formulated [1] a question about bipartite graphs (see Conjecture 1 below); this question arises in the study of regular finite semigroups. F. V. Petrov formulated [2] another combinatorial conjecture (Conjecture 3);…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph (or $k$-graph) $H = (V, E)$ is $k$-partite if $V$ can be partitioned into $k$ sets $V_1, \ldots, V_k$ such that each edge in $E$ contains precisely one vertex from each $V_i$. We show that $k$-partite $k$-graphs of…
