A path in a vertex-colored graph is a {\it vertex-proper path} if any two internal adjacent vertices differ in color. A vertex-colored graph is {\it proper vertex $k$-connected} if any two vertices of the graph are connected by $k$ disjoint…

A vertex-coloring of a connected graph $G$ is a strong conflict-free vertex-connection coloring if every two distinct vertices are joined by a shortest path on which some color appears exactly once. The minimum number of colors in such a…

A proper conflict-free coloring of a graph is a proper vertex coloring wherein each non-isolated vertex's open neighborhood contains at least one color appearing exactly once. For a non-negative integer $k$, a graph $G$ is said to be proper…

For a given $\delta \in (0,1)$, the randomly perturbed graph model is defined as the union of any $n$-vertex graph $G_0$ with minimum degree $\delta n$ and the binomial random graph $\mathbf{G}(n,p)$ on the same vertex set. Moreover, we say…

A graph where each vertex $v$ has a list $L(v)$ of available colors is $L$-colorable if there is a proper coloring such that the color of $v$ is in $L(v)$ for each $v$. A graph is $k$-choosable if every assignment $L$ of at least $k$ colors…

Dynamic optimization problems have gained significant attention in evolutionary computation as evolutionary algorithms (EAs) can easily adapt to changing environments. We show that EAs can solve the graph coloring problem for bipartite…

Mining cohesive subgraphs in attributed graphs is an essential problem in the domain of graph data analysis. The integration of fairness considerations significantly fuels interest in models and algorithms for mining fairness-aware cohesive…

For a positive integer $k$, a $k$-colouring of a graph $G=(V,E)$ is a mapping $c: V\rightarrow\{1,2,...,k\}$ such that $c(u)\neq c(v)$ whenever $uv\in E$. The Colouring problem is to decide, for a given $G$ and $k$, whether a $k$-colouring…

In a vertex-colored graph $G = (V, E)$, a subset $S \subseteq V$ is said to be consistent if every vertex has a nearest neighbor in $S$ with the same color. The problem of computing a minimum cardinality consistent subset of a graph is…

The celebrated Time Hierarchy Theorem for Turing machines states, informally, that more problems can be solved given more time. The extent to which a time hierarchy-type theorem holds in the distributed LOCAL model has been open for many…

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…

Suppose $G$ is a graph and $L$ is a list assignment for $G$. A request of $L$ is a function $r$ with nonempty domain $D\subseteq V(G)$ such that $r(v) \in L(v)$ for each $v \in D$. The triple $(G,L,r)$ is $\epsilon$-satisfiable if there…

The vertex cover problem is a fundamental and widely studied combinatorial optimization problem. It is known that its standard linear programming relaxation is integral for bipartite graphs and half-integral for general graphs. As a…

Consider a graph $G = (V, E)$ and, for each vertex $v \in V$, a subset $\Sigma(v)$ of neighbors of $v$. A $\Sigma$-coloring is a coloring of the elements of $V$ so that vertices appearing together in some $\Sigma(v)$ receive pairwise…

Let G be a simple connected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G. Each vertex of V(G) is colored by a color from the set of colors {c_1, c_2,\dots, c_{\alpha}}. We take a subset S of V(G), such that for every vertex v in V(G)\S, at…

A vertex-colored graph $G$ is {\it rainbow vertex-connected} if any pair of vertices in $G$ are connected by a path whose internal vertices have distinct colors, which was introduced by Krivelevich and Yuster. The {\it rainbow…

A hypergraph is said to be $\chi$-colorable if its vertices can be colored with $\chi$ colors so that no hyperedge is monochromatic. $2$-colorability is a fundamental property (called Property B) of hypergraphs and is extensively studied in…

Bipartite graphs are widely used to model relationships between two types of entities. Community search retrieves densely connected subgraphs containing a query vertex, which has been extensively studied on unipartite graphs. However,…

The graph coloring problem is often investigated in the literature. Many insights about many neighboring solutions with the same fitness value are raised but as far as we know, no deep analysis of this neutrality has ever been conducted in…

Let $G$ be a simple graph and $c$ a proper vertex coloring of $G$. A vertex $u$ is called b-vertex in $(G,c)$ if all colors except $c(u)$ appear in the neighborhood of $u$. By a ${\rm b}^{\ast}$-coloring of $G$ using colors $\{1, \ldots,…
