We study the number of monochromatic solution to linear equation in $\{1,\dots,n\}$ when we color the set by at least three colors. We consider the $r$-commonness for $r\geq 3$ of linear equation with odd number of terms, and we also prove…

A planar graph can be embedded in a piecewise linear manifold, and the lattice on each linear piece can be colored with 3-coloring. If a planar graph can be colored with multiple 3-coloring, i.e. coloring the graph in pieces with different…

Graph coloring is a computationally difficult problem, and currently the best known classical algorithm for $k$-coloring of graphs on $n$ vertices has runtimes $\Omega(2^n)$ for $k\ge 5$. The list coloring problem asks the following more…

We consider a variation of the prototype combinatorial-optimisation problem known as graph-colouring. Our optimisation goal is to colour the vertices of a graph with a fixed number of colours, in a way to maximise the number of different…

In this work, we consider a number of problems defined on the triangular lattice with $n$ rows, which we will denote as $T_n$. Define a \textit{proper coloring} to be an assignment of colors to the points of $T_n$ such that no three points…

In this paper, an algorithm for determining 3-colorability, i.e. the decision problem (YES/NO), in planar graphs is presented. The algorithm, although not exact (it could produce false positives) has two very important features: (i) it has…

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…

We study a variation of the graph colouring problem on random graphs of finite average connectivity. Given the number of colours, we aim to maximise the number of different colours at neighbouring vertices (i.e. one edge distance) of any…

A model named `Colored Percolation' has been introduced with its infinite number of versions in two dimensions. The sites of a regular lattice are randomly occupied with probability $p$ and are then colored by one of the $n$ distinct colors…
