Given a graph $F$ and an integer $r \ge 2$, a partition $\widehat{F}$ of the edge set of $F$ into at most $r$ classes, and a graph $G$, define $c_{r, \widehat{F}}(G)$ as the number of $r$-colorings of the edges of $G$ that do not contain a…
We strengthen a result by Laskar and Lyle (Discrete Appl. Math. (2009), 330-338) by proving that it is NP-complete to decide whether a bipartite planar graph can be partitioned into three independent dominating sets. In contrast, we show…
Following problems posed by Gy\'arf\'as, we show that for every $r$-edge-colouring of $K_n$ there is a monochromatic triple star of order at least $n/(r-1)$, improving a previous result by Ruszink\'o. An edge colouring of a graph is called…
A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we confirm the total-coloring conjecture for 1-planar graphs with maximum degree at least 13.
This paper investigates an extremely classic NP-complete problem: How to determine if a graph G, where each vertex has a degree of at most 4, can be 3-colorable(The research in this paper focuses on graphs G that satisfy the condition where…
We point out some connections between existence of homogenous sets for certain edge colorings and existence of branches in certain trees. As a consequence, we get that any locally additive coloring (a notion introduced in the paper) of a…
A vertex coloring $\phi$ of a graph $G$ is $p$-centered if for every connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ either $\phi$ uses more than $p$ colors on $H$ or there is a color that appears exactly once on $H$. Centered colorings form one of the…
A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s, Gy\'arf\'as, and Pyber says that in any edge-colouring of a complete graph with r colours, it is possible to cover all the vertices with r vertex-disjoint monochromatic cycles. So far, this conjecture has been…
We give results concerning two problems on the recently introduced \textit{flip colourings of graphs}. For positive integers $b, r$ with $b < r$, we say that a $b + r$ regular graph is a $(b,r)$-\textit{flip graph} if there exists a…
In a recent paper, Caro, Lauri, Mifsud, Yuster, and Zarb ask which parameters $r$ and $c$ admit the existence of an $r$-regular graph such that the neighborhood of each vertex induces exactly $c$ edges. They show that every $r$ with $c$…
A balanced edge-coloring of the complete graph is an edge-coloring such that every vertex is incident to each color the same number of times. In this short note, we present a construction of a balanced edge-coloring with six colors of the…
We define a perfect coloring of a graph $G$ as a proper coloring of $G$ such that every connected induced subgraph $H$ of $G$ uses exactly $\omega(H)$ many colors where $\omega(H)$ is the clique number of $H$. A graph is perfectly colorable…
The paper deals with extremal problems concerning colorings of hypergraphs. By using a random recoloring algorithm we show that any $n$-uniform simple (i.e. every two distinct edges share at most one vertex) hypergraph $H$ with maximum edge…
A graph is $k$-critical if it is $k$-chromatic but each of its proper induced subgraphs is ($k-1$)-colorable. It is known that the number of $4$-critical $P_5$-free graphs is finite, but there is an infinite number of $k$-critical…
Let G be a graph. It was proved that if G is a planar graph without {4, 6, 7}-cycles and without two 5-cycles sharing exactly one edge, then G 3-colorable. We observed that the proof of this result is not correct.
A weighting of the edges of a hypergraph is called vertex-coloring if the weighted degrees of the vertices yield a proper coloring of the graph, i.e., every edge contains at least two vertices with different weighted degrees. In this paper…
In an $r$-coloring of edges of the complete graph on $n$ vertices, how many edges are there in the largest monochromatic connected component? A construction of Gy\'arf\'as shows that for infinitely many values of $r$, there exist colorings…
Let kappa be an uncountable cardinal and the edges of a complete graph with kappa vertices be colored with aleph_0 colors. For kappa >2^{aleph_0} the Erd\H{o}s-Rado theorem implies that there is an infinite monochromatic subgraph. However,…
We study the problem of coloring a given graph using a small number of colors in several well-established models of computation for big data. These include the data streaming model, the general graph query model, the massively parallel…
We establish a simple generalization of a known result in the plane. The simplices in any pure simplicial complex in R^d may be colored with d+1 colors so that no two simplices that share a (d-1)-facet have the same color. In R^2 this says…
