We investigate the computationally hard problem whether a random graph of finite average vertex degree has an extensively large $q$-regular subgraph, i.e., a subgraph with all vertices having degree equal to $q$. We reformulate this problem…
We study concentration properties of vertex degrees of $n$-dimensional Erdos-R\'enyi random graphs with the edge probability $\rho/n$ by means of high moments of these random variables in the limit when $n$ and $\rho$ tend to infinity.…
A proper $q$-coloring of a graph is an assignment of one of $q$ colors to each vertex of the graph so that adjacent vertices are colored differently. Sample uniformly among all proper $q$-colorings of a large discrete cube in the integer…
One of the key unsolved conjectures in hypergraph coloring is about the chromatic number of $s$-stable $r$-uniform Kneser hypergraphs $\mathrm{KG}^r(n,k)_{s\textup{-stab}}$. The problem remains largely open, particularly in the case where…
Approximate random $k$-colouring of a graph $G$ is a well studied problem in computer science and statistical physics. It amounts to constructing a $k$-colouring of $G$ which is distributed close to {\em Gibbs distribution} in polynomial…
An edge-colored graph $G$ is {\em rainbow connected} if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The {\em rainbow connection} of a connected graph $G$, denoted $rc(G)$, is the smallest number of colors that…
The classical result of Erdos and Renyi shows that the random graph G(n,p) experiences sharp phase transition around p=1/n - for any \epsilon>0 and p=(1-\epsilon)/n, all connected components of G(n,p) are typically of size O(log n), while…
Colouring sparse graphs under various restrictions is a theoretical problem of significant practical relevance. Here we consider the problem of maximizing the number of different colours available at the nodes and their neighbourhoods,…
For many random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, by now, we have asymptotically tight estimates of the largest constraint density for which they have solutions. At the same time, all known polynomial-time algorithms for many of these…
A vertex colouring of a graph is \emph{nonrepetitive} if there is no path whose first half receives the same sequence of colours as the second half. A graph is nonrepetitively $k$-choosable if given lists of at least $k$ colours at each…
Using T=0 Monte Carlo simulation, we study the relaxation of graph coloring (K-COL) and satisfiability (K-SAT), two hard problems that have recently been shown to possess a phase transition in solvability as a parameter is varied. A change…
The topological Tverberg theorem has been generalized in several directions by setting extra restrictions on the Tverberg partitions. Restricted Tverberg partitions, defined by the idea that certain points cannot be in the same part, are…
A path in an edge colored graph is said to be a rainbow path if no two edges on the path have the same color. An edge colored graph is (strongly) rainbow connected if there exists a (geodesic) rainbow path between every pair of vertices.…
A set of colored graphs are compatible, if for every color $i$, the number of vertices of color $i$ is the same in every graph. A simultaneous embedding of $k$ compatibly colored graphs, each with $n$ vertices, consists of $k$ planar…
The problem of sampling proper $q$-colorings from uniform distribution has been extensively studied. Most of existing samplers require $q\ge \alpha \Delta+\beta$ for some constants $\alpha$ and $\beta$, where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree…
Let $r,s,t\geq2$ be integers. For $r$-graphs $G$ and $F_1,\dots,F_s$, we write $G\to(F_1,\dots,F_s)$ if every $s$-edge-coloring of $G$ yields a monochromatic copy of $F_i$ in the $i$-th color for some $1\leq i\leq s$. Let…
Consider the following random process: The vertices of a binomial random graph $G_{n,p}$ are revealed one by one, and at each step only the edges induced by the already revealed vertices are visible. Our goal is to assign to each vertex one…
This paper sets out the results of a range of searches for linear and cyclic graph colourings with specific Ramsey properties. The new graphs comprise mainly 'template graphs' which can be used in a construction described by the current…
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…
