An edge-coloring of a connected graph $G$ is called a {\em monochromatic connection coloring} (MC-coloring for short) if any two vertices of $G$ are connected by a monochromatic path in $G$. For a connected graph $G$, the {\em monochromatic…

The paper considers the NP-hard graph vertex coloring problem, which differs from traditional problems in which it is required to color vertices with a given (or minimal) number of colors so that adjacent vertices have different colors. In…

We consider the enumeration of plane trees (rooted ordered trees) whose vertices are colored according to a specific coloring rule that prescribes which possible pairs of colors can occur as the colors of a parent vertex and its child. This…

Two independent edges in ordered graphs can be nested, crossing or separated. These relations define six types of subgraphs, depending on which relations are forbidden. We refine a remark by Erd\H{o}s and Rado that every 2-coloring of the…

We present a short ultrafilter proof of the existence of monochromatic exponential triples $\{a, b, b^a\}$ in any finite coloring of the natural numbers. The proof is given from scratch and uses only Ramsey's theorem, the notion of…

Let $K_{n}^{r}$ denote the complete $r$-uniform hypergraph on $n$ vertices. A matching $M$ in a hypergraph is a set of pairwise vertex disjoint edges. Recent Ramsey-type results rely on lemmas about the size of monochromatic matchings. A…

A majority coloring of an undirected graph is a vertex coloring in which for each vertex there are at least as many bi-chromatic edges containing that vertex as monochromatic ones. It is known that for every countable graph a majority…

A clique colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices such that no maximal clique is monochromatic (ignoring isolated vertices). The least number of colours in such a colouring is the clique chromatic number. Given $n$ points $x_1,…

Attending to an open problem in the literature stated by Mirzakhani and Vondr\'ak, we give a lower bound of the number of non-monochromatic simplices for Sperner labelings of the vertices of a triangulation of a given $ k$-simplex with…

In the minimum sum edge coloring problem, we aim to assign natural numbers to edges of a graph, so that adjacent edges receive different numbers, and the sum of the numbers assigned to the edges is minimum. The {\em chromatic edge strength}…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we confirm the total-coloring conjecture for 1-planar graphs with maximum degree at least 13.

Given n red and n blue points in general position in the plane, it is well-known that there is a perfect matching formed by non-crossing line segments. We characterize the bichromatic point sets which admit exactly one non-crossing…

It is proved that triangle-free intersection graphs of $n$ L-shapes in the plane have chromatic number $O(\log\log n)$. This improves the previous bound of $O(\log n)$ (McGuinness, 1996) and matches the known lower bound construction…

An acyclic edge coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper edge coloring such that no bichromatic cycles are produced. The acyclic edge coloring conjecture by Fiam{\v{c}}ik (1978) and Alon, Sudakov and Zaks (2001) states that every simple graph…
