A vertex coloring of a graph is said to be \textit{conflict-free} with respect to neighborhoods if for every non-isolated vertex there is a color appearing exactly once in its (open) neighborhood. As defined in [Fabrici et al.,…

A proper vertex $k$-coloring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is an assignment $c:V\to \{1,2,\ldots,k\}$ of colors to the vertices of the graph such that no two adjacent vertices are associated with the same color. The square $G^2$ of a graph $G$ is…

Boxicity of a graph H, denoted by box(H), is the minimum integer k such that H is an intersection graph of axis-parallel k-dimensional boxes in R^k. In this paper, we show that for a line graph G of a multigraph, box(G) <= 2\Delta(\lceil…

Conflict-free coloring (in short, CF-coloring) of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is a coloring of $V$ such that the neighborhood of each vertex contains a vertex whose color differs from the color of any other vertex in that neighborhood. Bounds on…

The chromatic vertex (resp.\ edge) stability number ${\rm vs}_{\chi}(G)$ (resp.\ ${\rm es}_{\chi}(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices (resp.\ edges) whose deletion results in a graph $H$ with $\chi(H)=\chi(G)-1$. In the…

The star chromatic index of a multigraph $G$, denoted $\chi'_{s}(G)$, is the minimum number of colors needed to properly color the edges of $G$ such that no path or cycle of length four is bi-colored. A multigraph $G$ is star…

The closed neighborhood conflict-free chromatic number of a graph $G$, denoted by $\chi_{CN}(G)$, is the minimum number of colors required to color the vertices of $G$ such that for every vertex, there is a color that appears exactly once…

Let $G$ be a graph. An acyclic $k$-coloring of $G$ is a map $c:V(G)\rightarrow \{1,\dots,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ for any $uv\in E(G)$ and the subgraph induced by the vertices of any two colors $i,j\in \{1,\dots,k\}$ is a forest. If…

For a given graph $G$, the least integer $k\geq 2$ such that for every Abelian group $\mathcal{G}$ of order $k$ there exists a proper edge labeling $f:E(G)\rightarrow \mathcal{G}$ so that $\sum_{x\in N(u)}f(xu)\neq \sum_{x\in N(v)}f(xv)$…

A $k$-coloring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is called semi-equitable if there exists a partition of its vertex set into independent subsets $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ in such a way that $|V_1| \notin \{\lceil |V|/k\rceil, \lfloor |V|/k \rfloor\}$ and…

An induced matching in a graph $G$ is a matching such that its end vertices also induce a matching. A $(1^{\ell}, 2^k)$-packing edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of its edge set into disjoint unions of $\ell$ matchings and $k$…

For integers $k>0$ and $0<r \leq \Delta$ (where $r \leq k$), 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…

The packing chromatic number of a graph is the minimum number of colors for which the graph admits a packing coloring. This distance-based parameter may change under local structural modifications of the graph. In this paper, we introduce…

In the vertex colouring game on a graph $G$, Maker and Breaker alternately colour vertices of $G$ from a palette of $k$ colours, with no two adjacent vertices allowed the same colour. Maker seeks to colour the whole graph while Breaker…

There are many concepts of signed graph coloring which are defined by assigning colors to the vertices of the graphs. These concepts usually differ in the number of self-inverse colors used. We introduce a unifying concept for this kind of…

A clique colouring of a graph is a colouring of the vertices such that no maximal clique is monochromatic (ignoring isolated vertices). The least number of colours in such a colouring is the clique chromatic number. Given $n$ points $x_1,…

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite, simple, and connected graph. The locating-chromatic number of a graph $G$ can be defined as the cardinality of a minimum resolving partition of the vertex set $V(G)$ such that all vertices have different…

A vertex coloring of a given graph $G$ is conflict-free if the closed neighborhood of every vertex contains a unique color (i.e. a color appearing only once in the neighborhood). The minimum number of colors in such a coloring is the…

The packing coloring problem has diverse applications, including frequency assignment in wireless networks, resource distribution and facility location in smart cities and post-disaster management, as well as in biological diversity.…

Let $\chi(G)$ denote the chromatic number of a graph and $\chi_v(G)$ denote the vector chromatic number. For all graphs $\chi_v(G) \le \chi(G)$ and for some graphs $\chi_v(G) \ll \chi(G)$. Galtman proved that Hoffman's well-known lower…
