A totally silver coloring of a graph G is a k--coloring of G such that for every vertex v \in V(G), each color appears exactly once on N[v], the closed neighborhood of v. A totally silver graph is a graph which admits a totally silver…

Graph colorings have been of interest to mathematicians for a long time, but relatively recently, social scientists have also found them to be interesting tools for studying group behavior. In the last 20 years, scientists have begun to…

The maximum edge colouring problem considers the maximum colour assignment to edges of a graph under the condition that every vertex has at most a fixed number of distinct coloured edges incident on it. If that fixed number is $q$ we call…

Graph colorings are becoming an increasingly useful family of mathematical models for a broad range of applications, such as time tabling and scheduling, frequency assignment, register allocation, computer security and so on. Graph proper…

Cographs are exactly hereditarily well-colored graphs, i.e., the graphs for which a greedy coloring of every induced subgraph uses only the minimally necessary number of colors $\chi(G)$. In recent work on reciprocal best match graphs…

We examine $t$-colourings of oriented graphs in which, for a fixed integer $k \geq 1$, vertices joined by a directed path of length at most $k$ must be assigned different colours. A homomorphism model that extends the ideas of Sherk for the…

Vertex coloring of a graph $G$ with $n$-colors can be equivalently thought to be a graph homomorphism (edge preserving vertex mapping) of $G$ to the complete graph $K_n$ of order $n$. So, in that sense, the chromatic number $\chi(G)$ of $G$…

The star chromatic number on a graph is the minimum number of colors in a proper vertex coloring forbidding any $P_4$ with two colors (bicolored). This problem was introduced by Gr\"unbaum (1973) together with the acyclic coloring of…

Graph colorings is a fundamental topic in graph theory that require an assignment of labels (or colors) to vertices or edges subject to various constraints. We focus on the harmonious coloring of a graph, which is a proper vertex coloring…

Recently, several vertex identifying notions were introduced (identifying coloring, lid-coloring, ...), these notions were inspired by identifying codes. All of them, as well as original identifying code, are based on separating two…

An edge coloring $c$ of a graph $G$ is a royal $k$-edge coloring of $G$ if the edges of $G$ are assigned nonempty subsets of the set $\{1, 2, \ldots, k\}$ in such a way that the vertex coloring obtained by assigning the union of the colors…

In this short paper, we introduce a new vertex coloring whose motivation comes from our series on odd edge-colorings of graphs. A proper vertex coloring $\varphi$ of graph $G$ is said to be odd if for each non-isolated vertex $x\in V(G)$…

We demonstrate how to generalize two of the most well-known random graph models, the classic random graph, and random graphs with a given degree distribution, by the introduction of hidden variables in the form of extra degrees of freedom,…

The coming quantum computation is forcing us to reexamine the cryptosystems people use. We are applying graph colorings of topological coding to modern information security and future cryptography against supercomputer and quantum computer…

We introduce a new graph minimization method, in which it is required to preserve some graph property and there is an effective procedure for checking this property. We applied this method to minimize 5-chromatic unit-distance graphs and…

Given a multigraph, suppose that each vertex is given a local assignment of $k$ colours to its incident edges. We are interested in whether there is a choice of one local colour per vertex such that no edge has both of its local colours…

We study a combinatorial coloring game between two players, Spoiler and Algorithm, who alternate turns. First, Spoiler places a new token at a vertex in $G$, and Algorithm responds by assigning a color to the new token. Algorithm must…

We investigate the relationship between two kinds of vertex colorings of hypergraphs: unique-maximum colorings and conflict-free colorings. In a unique-maximum coloring, the colors are ordered, and in every hyperedge of the hypergraph the…

We study network robustness under correlated failures modeled by colors, where each color represents a class of edges or vertices that may fail simultaneously. An edge-colored graph is said to be edge-color-avoiding $k$-edge-connected if it…

\qquad A \emph{coloring} of a digraph $D=(V,E)$ is a coloring of its vertices following the rule: Let $uv$ be an arc in $D$. If the tail $u$ is colored first, then the head $v$ should receive a color different from that of $u$. The…
