For an $r$-graph $F$ and integers $n,t$ satisfying $t \le n/v(F)$, let $\mathrm{ar}(n,tF)$ denote the minimum integer $N$ such that every edge-coloring of $K_{n}^{r}$ using $N$ colors contains a rainbow copy of $tF$, where $tF$ is the…
Consider the set $[m]\times [n] = \{(i,j)\, : 1\le i \le m, 1\le j \le n\}$ and the equation $x_1+x_2 = x_3$, namely $eq$. The \emph{rainbow number of $[m] \times [n]$ for $eq$}, denoted $\text{rb}([m]\times [n],eq)$, is the smallest number…
The families $\mathcal F_1,\ldots, \mathcal F_s\subset 2^{[n]}$ are called $q$-dependent if there are no pairwise disjoint $F_1\in \mathcal F_1,\ldots, F_s\in\mathcal F_s$ satisfying $|F_1\cup\ldots\cup F_s|\le q.$ We determine $\max…
Given a coloring of the edges of a multi-hypergraph, a rainbow t-matching is a collection of t disjoint edges, each having a different color. In this note we study the problem of finding a rainbow $t$-matching in an r-partite r-uniform…
Given sets $F_1, \ldots ,F_n$, a {\em partial rainbow function} is a partial choice function of the sets $F_i$. A {\em partial rainbow set} is the range of a partial rainbow function. Aharoni and Berger \cite{AhBer} conjectured that if $M$…
We consider quadruples of positive integers $(a,b,m,n)$ with $a\leq b$ and $m\leq n$ such that any proper edge-coloring of the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ contains a rainbow $K_{a,b}$ subgraph. We show that any such quadruple with…
Given an edge-colored complete graph $K_n$ on $n$ vertices, a perfect (respectively, near-perfect) matching $M$ in $K_n$ with an even (respectively, odd) number of vertices is rainbow if all edges have distinct colors. In this paper, we…
Let $g(n)$ be the least number such that every collection of $n$ matchings, each of size at least $g(n)$, in a bipartite graph, has a full rainbow matching. Aharoni and Berger \cite{AhBer} conjectured that $g(n)=n+1$ for every $n>1$. This…
Given $n\in k\mathbb{N}$ elements set $V$ and $k$-uniform hypergraphs $\mathcal{H}_1,\ldots,\mathcal{H}_{n/k}$ on $V$. A rainbow perfect matching is a collection of pairwise disjoint edges $E_1\in \mathcal{H}_1,\ldots,E_{n/k}\in…
An $(n,k)$ sequence covering array is a set of permutations of $[n]$ such that each sequence of $k$ distinct elements of $[n]$ is a subsequence of at least one of the permutations. An $(n,k)$ sequence covering array is perfect if there is a…
Let $n,m$ be integers such that $1\leq m\leq (n-2)/2$ and let $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Let $\mathcal{G}=\{G_1,\ldots,G_{m+1}\}$ be a family of graphs on the same vertex set $[n]$. In this paper, we prove that if for any $i\in [m+1]$, the…
For a given class ${\cal C}$ of graphs and given integers $m \le n$, let $f_{\cal C}(n,m)$ be the minimal number $k$ such that every $k$ independent $n$-sets in any graph belonging to ${\cal C}$ have a (possibly partial) rainbow independent…
A path in an edge-colored graph $G$, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of the path are colored the same. For a $\kappa$-connected graph $G$ and an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq \kappa$,…
A family $\mathcal{G}$ of sets is a copy of a poset $(P,\leqslant)$ if $(\mathcal{G},\subseteq)$ is isomorphic to $(P,\leqslant)$. The forbidden subposet problem asks for determining $La^*(n,P)$, the maximum size of a family…
Let $\mathcal A=\{A_1,\ldots,A_n\}$ be a family of sets in the plane. For $0 \leq i < n$, denote by $f_i$ the number of subsets $\sigma$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ of cardinality $i+1$ that satisfy $\bigcap_{i \in \sigma} A_i \neq \emptyset$. Let…
For a fixed graph $F$ and an integer $t$, the \dfn{rainbow saturation number} of $F$, denoted by $sat_t(n,\mathfrak{R}(F))$, is defined as the minimum number of edges in a $t$-edge-colored graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain a…
Given an edge-coloured graph, we say that a subgraph is rainbow if all of its edges have different colours. Let $\operatorname{ex}(n,H,$rainbow-$F)$ denote the maximal number of copies of $H$ that a properly edge-coloured graph on $n$…
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…
Define $T_k$ as the minimal $t\in \mathbb{N}$ for which there is a rainbow arithmetic progression of length $k$ in every equinumerous $t$-coloring of $[tn]$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N}$. Jungi\'{c}, Licht (Fox), Mahdian, Nesetril and…
Let $G$ be a connected graph of chromatic number $k$. For a $k$-coloring $f$ of $G$, a full $f$-rainbow path is a path of order $k$ in $G$ whose vertices are all colored differently by $f$. We show that $G$ has a $k$-coloring $f$ such that…
