We extend the results of B. Minemyer by showing that any indefinite metric polyhedron (either compact or not) with the vertex degree bounded from above admits an isometric simplicial embedding into a Minkowski space of the lowest possible…
We consider a generalization of Sperner's lemma for a triangulation $T$ of $(m+1)$-discs $D$ whose vertices are colored in $n+2$ colors. A proper coloring of $T$ on the boundary of $D$ determines a simplicial mapping $f:S^m \to S^n$ and the…
In this paper, we consider the colorful $k$-center problem, which is a generalization of the well-known $k$-center problem. Here, we are given red and blue points in a metric space, and a coverage requirement for each color. The goal is to…
A $b$-coloring of a graph is a proper coloring such that every color class contains a vertex adjacent to at least one vertex in each of the other color classes. The $b$-chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted by $b(G)$, is the maximum…
The chromatic number of the finite projective space $\mathrm{PG}(n-1,q)$, denoted $\chi_q(n)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to color its points so that no line is monochromatic. We prove subadditivity of $\chi_q(n)$ with respect…
A simplicial complex is d-collapsible if it can be reduced to an empty complex by repeatedly removing (collapsing) a face of dimension at most d-1 that is contained in a unique maximal face. We prove that the algorithmic question whether a…
For an integer $r>0$, a conditional $(k,r)$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper $k$-coloring of the vertices of $G$ such that every vertex $v$ of degree $d(v)$ in $G$ is adjacent to vertices with at least $min\{r, d(v)\}$ different colors.…
We provide a short proof of a conic version of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem for oriented matroids. Holmsen's extension of the colorful Carath\'eodory theorem to oriented matroids (Advances in Mathematics, 2016) already encompasses…
Four-Color Theorem has secret in its logical proof and actual operating. In this paper we will give a proof of Four-Color Theorem based on Kuratowski's Theorem using some induction argument and give a description of the most complicated…
A graph is $(d_1, ..., d_r)$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into $r$ sets $V_1, ..., V_r$ so that the maximum degree of the graph induced by $V_i$ is at most $d_i$ for each $i\in \{1, ..., r\}$. For a given pair $(g, d_1)$,…
In 1967, Gr\"unmbaum conjectured that any $d$-dimensional polytope with $d+s\leq 2d$ vertices has at least \[\phi_k(d+s,d) = {d+1 \choose k+1 }+{d \choose k+1 }-{d+1-s \choose k+1 } \] $k$-faces. This conjecture along with the…
We prove that the vertices of every $(r + 1)$-uniform hypergraph with maximum degree $\Delta$ may be coloured with $c(\frac{\Delta}{d + 1})^{1/r}$ colours such that each vertex is in at most $d$ monochromatic edges. This result, which is…
Let k, r, s in the natural numbers where r \geq s \geq 2. Define f(s,r,k) to be the smallest positive integer n such that for every coloring of the integers in [1,n] there exist subsets S_1 and S_2 such that: (a) S_1 and S_2 are…
We present several sparsification lower and upper bounds for classic problems in graph theory and logic. For the problems 4-Coloring, (Directed) Hamiltonian Cycle, and (Connected) Dominating Set, we prove that there is no polynomial-time…
A proper vertex coloring of a graph is said to be locally identifying if the sets of colors in the closed neighborhood of any two adjacent non-twin vertices are distinct. The lid-chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colors…
Confirming and extending a conjecture by Guggiari, we show that every countable $(r+1)$-edge-coloured complete symmetric digraph containing no directed paths of edge-length $\ell_i$ for any colour $i\leq r$ can be covered by $\prod_{i\leq…
We generalise the existence of combinatorial designs to the setting of subset sums in lattices with coordinates indexed by labelled faces of simplicial complexes. This general framework includes the problem of decomposing hypergraphs with…
A standard proof of Schur's Theorem yields that any $r$-coloring of $\{1,2,\dots,R_r-1\}$ yields a monochromatic solution to $x+y=z$, where $R_r$ is the classical $r$-color Ramsey number, the minimum $N$ such that any $r$-coloring of a…
Let $G$ be a graph and c a proper k-coloring of G, i.e. any two adjacent vertices u and v have different colors c(u) and c(v). A proper k-coloring is a b-coloring if there exists a vertex in every color class that contains all the colors in…
