The notion of $S$-labeling of graphs, where $S$ is a subset of a symmetric group, was introduced in 2019 by Jin, Wong, and Zhu. This notion provides the framework for a common generalization of various well studied notions of graph…

As the most powerful tool in discrepancy theory, the partial coloring method has wide applications in many problems including the Beck-Fiala problem and Spencer's celebrated result. Currently, there are two major algorithmic methods for the…

Many proofs in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science are based on the probabilistic method. To prove the existence of a good object, we pick a random object and show that it is bad with low probability. This method is…

The famous Wegner's Planar Graph Conjecture asserts tight upper bounds on the chromatic number of the square $G^2$ of a planar graph $G$, depending on the maximum degree $\Delta(G)$ of $G$. The only case that the conjecture is resolved is…

By Lovasz' proof of the Kneser conjecture, the chromatic number of a graph G is bounded from below by the index of the Z_2-space Hom(K_2,G) plus two. We show that the cohomological index of Hom(K_2,G) is also greater than the cohomological…

We describe a rational approach to reduce the computational and communication complexities of lossless point-to-point compression for computation with side information. The traditional method relies on building a characteristic graph with…

Recent developments in approximate counting have made startling progress in developing fast algorithmic methods for approximating the number of solutions to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) with large arities, using connections to…

The main result provide a common generalization for Ramsey-type theorems concerning finite colorings of edge sets of complete graphs with vertices in infinite semigroups. We capture the essence of theorems proved in different fields: for…

This paper investigates several classical and novel variations of the Erd\H{o}s--Szekeres problem, including multicolored point sets, convex hexagons with a given number of interior points, and polygons with constraints on edge colors. We…

In FOCS 2002, Even et al. showed that any set of $n$ discs in the plane can be Conflict-Free colored with a total of at most $O(\log n)$ colors. That is, it can be colored with $O(\log n)$ colors such that for any (covered) point $p$ there…

Given a set system (V,S), V={1,...,n} and S={S1,...,Sm}, the minimum discrepancy problem is to find a 2-coloring of V, such that each set is colored as evenly as possible. In this paper we give the first polynomial time algorithms for…

An \emph{equitable coloring} of a graph is a proper vertex coloring such that the sizes of every two color classes differ by at most 1. Chen, Lih, and Wu conjectured that every connected graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta \geq 2$ has an…

We prove the existence of a finitely dependent proper colouring of the integer lattice Z^d that is fully isometry-invariant in law, for all dimensions d. Previously this was known only for d=1, while only translation-invariant examples were…

We consider the problem of $2$-coloring geometric hypergraphs. Specifically, we show that there is a constant $m$ such that any finite set of points in the plane $\mathcal{S} \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ can be $2$-colored such that every…

We present an alternate proof of the fact that given any 4-coloring of the plane there exist two points unit distance apart which are identically colored.

We prove an arithmetic analog of the induced graph removal lemma for complexity 1 patterns over finite fields. Informally speaking, we show that given a fixed collection of $r$-colored complexity 1 arithmetic patterns over $\mathbb F_q$,…

We investigate local computation algorithms (LCA) for two-coloring of $k$-uniform hypergraphs. We focus on hypergraph instances that satisfy strengthened assumption of the Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma of the form $2^{1-\alpha k} (\Delta+1)…

The constructive Lov\'{a}sz Local Lemma has become a central tool for designing efficient distributed algorithms. While it has been extensively studied in the classic LOCAL model that uses unlimited bandwidth, much less is known in the…

The Hadwiger--Nelson problem is about determining the chromatic number of the plane (CNP), defined as the minimum number of colours needed to colour the plane so that no two points of distance 1 have the same colour. In this paper we…

Let n \geq l \geq 2 and q \geq 2. We consider the minimum N such that whenever we have N points in the plane in general position and the l-subsets of these points are colored with q colors, there is a subset S of n points all of whose…
