Let G be a graph with n vertices, and let k be an integer dividing n. G is said to be strongly k-colorable if for every partition of V(G) into disjoint sets V_1 \cup ... \cup V_r, all of size exactly k, there exists a proper vertex…

Let $\sigma$ be a partition of the positive integer $r$. A $\sigma$-hypergraph $H=H(n,r,q|\sigma)$ is an $r$-uniform hypergraph on $nq$ vertices which are partitioned into $n$ classes $V_1, V_2, \ldots, V_n$ each containing $q$ vertices. An…

For a given $\pi=(\pi_0, \pi_1,..., \pi_k) \in \{0, 1, *\}^{k+1}$, we want to determine whether an input $k$-uniform hypergraph $G=(V, E)$ has a partition $(V_1, V_2)$ of the vertex set so that for all $X \subseteq V$ of size $k$, $X \in E$…

For a hypergraph G and a positive integer s, let \chi_{\ell} (G,s) be the minimum value of l such that G is L-colorable from every list L with |L(v)|=l for each v\in V(G) and |L(u)\cap L(v)|\leq s for all u, v\in e\in E(G). This parameter…

We study the problem of constructing a (near) uniform random proper $q$-coloring of a simple $k$-uniform hypergraph with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $\Delta$. (Proper in that no edge is mono-colored and simple in that two edges have…

Let a_1,...,a_k satisfy a_1+...+a_k=1 and suppose a k-uniform hypergraph on n vertices satisfies the following property; in any partition of its vertices into k sets A_1,...,A_k of sizes a_1*n,...,a_k*n, the number of edges intersecting…

As an extension of the Brooks theorem, Catlin in 1979 showed that if $H$ is neither an odd cycle nor a complete graph with maximum degree $\Delta(H)$, then $H$ has a vertex $\Delta(H)$-coloring such that one of the color classes is a…

List k-Coloring (Li k-Col) is the decision problem asking if a given graph admits a proper coloring compatible with a given list assignment to its vertices with colors in {1,2,..,k}. The problem is known to be NP-hard even for k=3 within…

For a positive integer $k$ and a graph $H$ on $k$ vertices, we are interested in the inducibility of $H$, denoted $\mathrm{ind}(H)$, which is defined as the maximum possible probability that choosing $k$ vertices uniformly at random from a…

A graph $G$ is equitably $k$-choosable if, for any given $k$-uniform list assignment $L$, $G$ is $L$-colorable and each color appears on at most $\lceil\frac{|V(G)|}{k}\rceil$ vertices. A graph is equitably $k$-colorable if the vertex set…

Assume $ k $ is a positive integer, $ \lambda=\{k_1,k_2,...,k_q\} $ is a partition of $ k $ and $ G $ is a graph. A $\lambda$-assignment of $ G $ is a $ k $-assignment $ L $ of $ G $ such that the colour set $ \bigcup_{v\in V(G)} L(v) $ can…

An $r$-uniform hypergraph is uniquely $k$-colorable if there exists exactly one partition of its vertex set into $k$ parts such that every edge contains at most one vertex from each part. For integers $k \ge r \ge 2$, let $\Phi_{k,r}$…

A $k$-uniform hypergraph $H = (V, E)$ is called $\ell$-orientable, if there is an assignment of each edge $e\in E$ to one of its vertices $v\in e$ such that no vertex is assigned more than $\ell$ edges. Let $H_{n,m,k}$ be a hypergraph,…

A graph is ambiguously k-colorable if its vertex set admits two distinct partitions each into at most k anticliques. We give a full characterization of the maximally ambiguously k-colorable graphs in terms of quadratic matrices. As an…

Let $K_p$ be a complete graph of order $p\geq 2$. A $K_p$-free $k$-coloring of a graph $H$ is a partition of $V(H)$ into $V_1, V_2\ldots,V_k$ such that $H[V_i]$ does not contain $K_p$ for each $i\leq k $. In 1977 Borodin and Kostochka…

We propose a new representation of $k$-partite, $k$-uniform hypergraphs, that is, a hypergraph with a partition of vertices into $k$ parts such that each hyperedge contains exactly one vertex of each type; we call them $k$-hypergraphs for…

We study the problem of sampling almost uniform proper $q$-colourings in $k$-uniform simple hypergraphs with maximum degree $\Delta$. For any $\delta > 0$, if $k \geq\frac{20(1+\delta)}{\delta}$ and $q \geq…

Let $k,r \geq 2$ be two integers. We consider the problem of partitioning the hyperedge set of an $r$-uniform hypergraph $H$ into the minimum number $\chi_k'(H)$ of edge-disjoint subhypergraphs in which every vertex has either degree $0$ or…

We study the maximization version of the fundamental graph coloring problem. Here the goal is to color the vertices of a k-colorable graph with k colors so that a maximum fraction of edges are properly colored (i.e. their endpoints receive…

A k-role coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors to the vertices of G such that if any two vertices are assigned the same color, then their neighborhood are assigned the same set of colors. By definition, every graph on n…
