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…

In this paper, we consider the problem of a star coloring. In general case the problems in NP-complete. We establish the star chromatic number for splitting graph of complete and complete bipartite graphs, as well of paths and cycles. Our…

In this paper, we prove that given a 2-edge-coloured complete graph $K_{4n}$ that has the same number of edges of each colour, we can always find a perfect matching with an equal number of edges of each colour. This solves a problem posed…

Total coloring of a graph is a coloring of its vertices and edges such that adjacent or incident elements receive distinct colors. Total coloring conjecture (stipulating that the total chromatic number of a graph $G$ is at most…

Konig's theorem states that the covering number and the matching number of a bipartite graph are equal. We prove a generalisation of this result, in which each point in one side of the graph is replaced by a subtree of a given tree. The…

We confirm the equitable $\Delta$-coloring conjecture for interval graphs and establish the monotonicity of equitable colorability for them. We further obtain results on equitable colorability about square (or Cartesian) and cross (or…

Elementary graphs are graphs whose edges can be colored using two colors in such a way that the edges in any induced $P_3$ get distinct colors. They constitute a subclass of the class of claw-free perfect graphs. In this paper, we show that…

In 2006, Collins and Trenk obtained a general sharp upper bound for the distinguishing chromatic number of a connected graph. Inspired by Catlin's combinatorial techniques from 1978, we establish improved upper bounds for classes of…

We prove that the list chromatic number of graphs satisfies singular compactness at strong limit singular cardinals.

An edge-coloring of a hypergraph is {\em spanning} if every vertex sees every color used in the coloring. In this paper, we prove that for $k \geq 2r \geq 6$, in any spanning $k$-coloring of the edges of a complete $r$-partite $r$-uniform…

A colored Gaussian graphical model is a linear concentration model in which equalities among the concentrations are specified by a coloring of an underlying graph. Marigliano and Davies conjectured that every linear binomial that appears in…

We prove that, for positive integers $n,a_1, a_2, a_3$ satisfying $a_1+a_2+a_3 = n-1$, it holds that any bipartite graph $G$ which is the union of three perfect matchings $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$ on $2n$ vertices contains a matching $M$ such…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of graph list colouring in the on-line setting. We provide several results on paintability of graphs in the model introduced by Schauz [13] and Zhu [20]. We prove that the on-line version of Ohba's…

In [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 161 (2023), 109--119], the authors showed that the list-color function $P_l(G,k)$ of any simple graph $G$ of size $m$ coincides with its chromatic polynomial $P(G,k)$ for all integers $k\ge m-1$. In this…

We study the class of simple graphs $\mathcal{G}^*$ for which every pair of distinct odd cycles intersect in at most one edge. We give a structural characterization of the graphs in $\mathcal{G}^*$ and prove that every $G \in \mathcal{G}^*$…

We discuss the question whether the existence of perfect matchings in a cubic graph can be seen from the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. For regular graphs in general and for three edge-disjoint perfect matchings in a cubic graph (that…

This paper proves the following result: If $G$ is a planar graph and $L$ is a $4$-list assignment of $G$ such that $|L(x) \cap L(y)| \le 2$ for every edge $xy$, then $G$ is $L$-colourable. This answers a question asked by Kratochv\'{i}l,…

A graph is k-total colourable if there is an assignment of k different colours to the vertices and edges of the graph such that no two adjacent nor incident elements receive the same colour. The total chromatic number of some direct product…

An edge-colouring of a graph is distinguishing, if the only automorphism which preserves the colouring is the identity. It has been conjectured that all but finitely many connected, finite, regular graphs admit a distinguishing…

A star edge coloring of a graph is a proper edge coloring with no $2$-colored path or cycle of length four. The star chromatic index $\chi'_{st}(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum number $t$ for which $G$ has a star edge coloring with $t$ colors. We…
