A new shortest proof of Kotzig's Theorem about graphs with unique perfect matching is presented in this paper. It is well known that Kotzig's theorem is a consequence of Yeo's Theorem about edge-colored graph without alternating cycle. We…

We give a short, explicit proof of Hindman's Theorem that in every finite coloring of the integers, there is an infinite set all of whose finite sums have the same color. We give several exampls of colorings of the integers which do not…

We first give an alternative proof of the Alon-Tarsi list coloring theorem. We use the ideas from this proof to obtain the following result, which is an additive coloring analog of the Alon-Tarsi Theorem: Let $G$ be a graph and let $D$ be…

In this paper, two recursion formulae of chromatic polynomial of a maximal planar graph G are obtained. Moreover, the application of these formulaes to the proof of Four-Color Conjecture is investigated. By using these formulae, the proof…

Working in subsystems of second order arithmetic, we formulate several representations for hypergraphs. We then prove the equivalence of various vertex coloring theorems to ${\sf WKL}_0$, ${\sf ACA}_0$ and $\Pi ^1_ 1$-${\sf CA}_0$.

In this paper, we consider a number of results and seven conjectures on properly edge-coloured (PC) paths and cycles in edge-coloured multigraphs. We overview some known results and prove new ones. In particular, we consider a family of…

We study the geometry of some proper 4-colorings of the vertices of sphere triangulations with degree sequence 6,...,6,2,2,2. Such triangulations are the simplest examples which have non-negative combinatorial curvature. The examples we…

Standard proofs of Lusin's theorem, using simple functions, are sometimes quite elaborate. Here, we give a one-sentence proof of Lusin's theorem. We do not believe our approach, by way of inverse images, is new. However, this particular…
