We consider the problem of extending and avoiding partial edge colorings of hypercubes; that is, given a partial edge coloring $\varphi$ of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$, we are interested in whether there is a proper $d$-edge…

We consider the following type of question: Given a partial proper $d$-edge coloring of the $d$-dimensional hypercube $Q_d$, and lists of allowed colors for the non-colored edges of $Q_d$,can we extend the partial coloring to a proper…

We consider the problem of extending partial edge colorings of iterated cartesian products of even cycles and paths, focusing on the case when the precolored edges satisfy either an Evans-type condition or is a matching. In particular, we…

We consider the problem of extending partial edge colorings of cartesian products of graphs. More specifically, we suggest the following Evans-type conjecture: If $G$ is a graph where every precoloring of at most $k$ precolored edges can be…

Casselgren, Markst\"orm, and Pham conjectured that any precolored dis\-tan\-ce-2 matching in the $d$-dimensional cube $Q_d$ with at most $d$ colors can be extended to a proper $d$-edge-coloring. In this paper, we prove this conjecture and…

Let $n \ge d \ge \ell \ge 1$ be integers, and denote the $n$-dimensional hypercube by $Q_n$. A coloring of the $\ell$-dimensional subcubes $Q_\ell$ in $Q_n$ is called a $Q_\ell$-coloring. Such a coloring is $d$-polychromatic if every $Q_d$…

We investigate the problem of extending partial edge colorings in Cartesian products of graphs, with a particular focus on cases where the precolored edges form a matching. Casselgren, Granholm, and Petros conjectured that any precolored…

This paper studies edge-precoloring extensions in Cartesian products of graphs, motivated by a conjecture of Casselgren, Petros, and Fufa. We formulate a general hypothesis stating that if every edge-precoloring of $G$ and $H$ of sizes…

A coloring of the $\ell$-dimensional faces of $Q_n$ is called $d$-polychromatic if every embedded $Q_d$ has every color on at least one face. Denote by $p^\ell(d)$ the maximum number of colors such that any $Q_n$ can be colored in this way.…

We consider precolouring extension problems for proper edge-colourings of graphs and multigraphs, in an attempt to prove stronger versions of Vizing's and Shannon's bounds on the chromatic index of (multi)graphs in terms of their maximum…

Let $G$ be a simple planar graph of maximum degree $\Delta$, let $t$ be a positive integer, and let $L$ be an edge list assignment on $G$ with $|L(e)| \geq \Delta+t$ for all $e \in E(G)$. We prove that if $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ that has…

Consider a hypergraph $H_n^d$ where the vertices are points of the $d$-dimensional combinatorial cube $n^d$ and the edges are all sets of $n$ points such that they are in one line. We study the structure of the group of automorphisms of…

For complete graphs and n-cubes bounds are found for the possible number of colours in an interval edge colourings.

We prove that every proper edge-coloring of the $n$-dimensional hypercube $Q_n$ contains a rainbow copy of every tree $T$ on at most $n$ edges. This result is best possible, as $Q_n$ can be properly edge-colored using only $n$ colors while…

In this paper, we study the following two hypercube coloring problems: Given $n$ and $d$, find the minimum number of colors, denoted as ${\chi}'_{d}(n)$ (resp. ${\chi}_{d}(n)$), needed to color the vertices of the $n$-cube such that any two…

Motivated by the Erdos-Faber Lovasz conjecture (EFL) for hypergraphs, we explore relationships between several conjectures on the edge coloring of linear hypergraphs. In particular, we are able to increase the class of hypergraphs for which…

Inspired by earlier results about proper and polychromatic coloring of hypergraphs, we investigate such colorings of directed hypergraphs, that is, hypergraphs in which the vertices of each hyperedge is partitioned into two parts, a tail…

Motivated by the Erd\H{o}s-Faber-Lov\'{a}sz (EFL) conjecture for hypergraphs, we consider the list edge coloring of linear hypergraphs. We show that if the hyper-edge sizes are bounded between $i$ and $C_{i,\epsilon} \sqrt{n}$ inclusive,…

Given an integer $1\leq j <n$, define the $(j)$-coloring of a $n$-dimensional hypercube $H_{n}$ to be the $2$-coloring of the edges of $H_{n}$ in which all edges in dimension $i$, $1\leq i \leq j$, have color $1$ and all other edges have…

Edwards, van den Heuvel, Kang, and Sereni conjectured the following strengthening of Vizing's Theorem: let $G$ be a simple graph, and let $K = \Delta(G) + 1$. For any matching $M$ in $G$ and any precoloring of the edges in $M$ using the…
