Problems of existence, construction and estimation of parameters of interval colorings of complete k-partite graphs K_{n}^{k} are investigated.
Graph coloring problems are a central topic of study in the theory of algorithms. We study the problem of partially coloring partially colorable graphs. For $\alpha \leq 1$ and $k \in \mathbb{Z}^+$, we say that a graph $G=(V,E)$ is…
The work deals with the threshold probablity for r-colorability in the binomial model H(n,k,p) of a random k-uniform hypergraph. We prove a lower bound for this threshold which improves the previously known results in the wide range of the…
Automata operating on general graphs have been introduced by virtue of graphoids. In this paper we construct a graph automaton that recognizes $k$-colorable graphs.
We study several extensions of the notion of perfect graphs to $k$-uniform hypergraphs.
A fall $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper $k$-coloring of $G$ such that each vertex of $G$ sees all $k$ colors on its closed neighborhood. In this paper, we answer some questions of \cite{dun} about some relations between fall…
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…
We relate the graph isomorphism problem to the solvability of certain systems of linear equations with nonnegative variables. This version replaces the two previous versions of this paper.
We introduce a new notion of resilience for constraint satisfaction problems, with the goal of more precisely determining the boundary between NP-hardness and the existence of efficient algorithms for resilient instances. In particular, we…
For a positive integer $k$, a $k$-colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,...,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$ and $k$, whether a $k$-colouring…
We study topological properties of the graph topology.
In this paper, we consider the problem of a star coloring. In general case the problems in NP-complete. We establish the star chromatic number for splitting graph of complete and complete bipartite graphs, as well of paths and cycles. Our…
We study several basic problems about colouring the $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of an arbitrary graph $G$, focusing primarily on the chromatic number and colouring number of $G_p$. In particular, we show that there exist infinitely many…
We characterize $k$--colorability of a simplicial graph via the intrinsic algebraic structure of the associated right-angled Artin group. As a consequence, we show that a certain problem about the existence of homomorphisms from…
For a positive integer $k$ and graph $G=(V,E)$, a $k$-colouring of $G$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The $k$-Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$, whether a…
A graph is $\ell$-choosable if, for any choice of lists of $\ell$ colors for each vertex, there is a list coloring, which is a coloring where each vertex receives a color from its list. We study complexity issues of choosability of graphs…
A polynomial time algorithm that determines for a fixed integer k whether or not a P5-free graph can be k-colored is presented in this paper. If such a coloring exists, the algorithm will produce a valid k-coloring.
List colouring is an influential and classic topic in graph theory. We initiate the study of a natural strengthening of this problem, where instead of one list-colouring, we seek many in parallel. Our explorations have uncovered a…
The study of graph vertex colorability from an algebraic perspective has introduced novel techniques and algorithms into the field. For instance, it is known that $k$-colorability of a graph $G$ is equivalent to the condition $1 \in…
This paper surveys recent development of concepts related to coloring of signed graphs. Various approaches are presented and discussed.
