A \emph{star coloring} of a graph $G$ is a proper vertex-coloring such that no path on four vertices is $2$-colored. The minimum number of colors required to obtain a star coloring of a graph $G$ is called star chromatic number and it is…
Let $2\le k\in\mathbb{Z}$. A total coloring of a $k$-regular simple graph via $k+1$ colors is an {\it efficient total coloring} if each color yields an efficient dominating set, where the efficient domination condition applies to the…
We present the notion of separable game with respect to a forward directed hypergraph (FDH-graph), which refines and generalizes that of graphical game. First, we show that there exists a minimal FDH-graph with respect to which a game is…
Frei et al. [6] showed that the problem to decide whether a graph is stable with respect to some graph parameter under adding or removing either edges or vertices is $\Theta_2^{\text{P}}$-complete. They studied the common graph parameters…
The game Nofil is a two-player combinatorial game in which players take turns marking points of a design such that the set of marked points does not contain a block. Equivalently, we can think of the points as being deleted from the design…
In this paper, our goal is to characterize two graph classes based on the properties of minimal vertex (edge) separators. We first present a structural characterization of graphs in which every minimal vertex separator is a stable set. We…
We study the graph energy from a cooperative game viewpoint. We introduce \emph{the graph energy game} and show various properties. In particular, we see that it is a superadditive game and that the energy of a vertex, as defined in…
The main problem in the area of graph property testing is to understand which graph properties are \emph{testable}, which means that with constantly many queries to any input graph $G$, a tester can decide with good probability whether $G$…
In this paper, we introduce a graph coloring game called the Edge-Distinguishing Game (EDGe). The edge-distinguishing chromatic number of a graph is used to determine the moves each player can make. We determine which player has a winning…
Graph parameters such as the clique number, the chromatic number, and the independence number are central in many areas, ranging from computer networks to linguistics to computational neuroscience to social networks. In particular, the…
Given a graph G with n vertices and k players, each of which is placing a facility on one of the vertices of G, we define the score of the i'th player to be the number of vertices for which, among all players, the facility placed by the…
In the game theory literature, there appears to be little research on equilibrium selection for normal-form games with an infinite strategy space and discontinuous utility functions. Moreover, many existing selection methods are not…
We consider graph properties that can be checked from labels, i.e., bit sequences, of logarithmic length attached to vertices. We prove that there exists such a labeling for checking a first-order formula with free set variables in the…
The task of semi-supervised classification aims at assigning labels to all nodes of a graph based on the labels known for a few nodes, called the seeds. One of the most popular algorithms relies on the principle of heat diffusion, where the…

We prove an implicit function theorem for C^k-maps from arbitrary topological vector spaces over valued fields to Banach spaces (for k at least 2). As a tool, we show the C^k-dependence of fixed points on parameters for suitable families of…
A star coloring of a graph $G$ is a proper vertex coloring such that the subgraph induced by any pair of color classes is a star forest. The star chromatic number of $G$ is the minimum number of colors needed to star color $G$. In this…
Kempe equivalence is a classical and fundamental notion in graph coloring theory. In the present paper we establish a connection between Kempe equivalence and quadratic stable set ring, which are toric rings associated to graphs. In fact,…
A packing $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a partition of $V(G)$ into sets $V_1,\ldots,V_k$ such that for each $1\leq i\leq k$ the distance between any two distinct $x,y\in V_i$ is at least $i+1$. The packing chromatic number, $\chi_p(G)$, of…
A proof labelling scheme for a graph class $\mathcal{C}$ is an assignment of certificates to the vertices of any graph in the class $\mathcal{C}$, such that upon reading its certificate and the certificates of its neighbors, every vertex…
