Orthogonal Polarity

For a prime power $q$, let $ER_q$ denote the Erdős-Rényi orthogonal polarity graph. We prove that if $q$ is an even power of an odd prime, then $\chi ( ER_{q}) \leq 2 \sqrt{q} + O ( \sqrt{q} / \log q)$. This upper bound is best possible up to a constant factor of at most 2. If $q$ is an odd power of an odd prime and satisfies some condition on irreducible polynomials, then we improve the best known upper bound for $\chi(ER_{q})$ substantially. We also show that for sufficiently large $q$, every $ER_q$ contains a subgraph that is not 3-chromatic and has at most 36 vertices.

We write $F{\buildrel {\text{ind}} \over \longrightarrow}(H,G)$ for graphs $F, G,$ and $H$, if for any coloring of the edges of $F$ in red and blue, there is either a red induced copy of $H$ or a blue induced copy of $G$. For graphs $G$ and $H$, let $\mathrm{IR}(H,G)$ be the smallest number of vertices in a graph $F$ such that $F{\buildrel {\text{ind}} \over \longrightarrow}(H,G)$. In this note we consider the case when $G$ is a star on $n$ edges, for large $n$ and $H$ is a fixed graph. We prove that  $$ (\chi(H)-1) n \leq \mathrm{IR}(H, K_{1,n}) \leq (\chi(H)-1)^2n + \epsilon n,$$ for any $\epsilon>0$,  sufficiently large $n$, and $\chi(H)$ denoting the chromatic number of $H$. The lower bound is asymptotically tight  for any fixed bipartite $H$. The upper bound is attained up to a constant factor, for example when $H$ is a clique.

An r-dynamic coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of G such that every vertex in V(G) has neighbors in at least $\min\{d(v),r\}$ different color classes. The r-dynamic chromatic number of graph G denoted as $\chi_r (G)$, is the least k such that G has a coloring. In this paper we obtain the r-dynamic chromatic number of the central graph, middle graph, total graph, line graph, para-line graph and sub-division graph of the comb graph $P_n\odot K_1$ denoted by $C(P_n\odot K_1), M(P_n\odot K_1), T(P_n\odot K_1), L(P_n\odot K_1), P(P_n\odot K_1)$ and $S(P_n\odot K_1)$ respectively by finding the upper bound and lower bound for the r-dynamic chromatic number of the Comb graph.

AbstractGiven graphs G and H, a family of vertex-disjoint copies of H in G is called an H-tiling. Conlon, Gowers, Samotij and Schacht showed that for a given graph H and a constant γ>0, there exists C>0 such that if $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ , then asymptotically almost surely every spanning subgraph G of the random graph 𝒢(n, p) with minimum degree at least $\delta (G) \ge (1 - \frac{1}{{{\chi _{{\rm{cr}}}}(H)}} + \gamma )np$ contains an H-tiling that covers all but at most γn vertices. Here, χcr(H) denotes the critical chromatic number, a parameter introduced by Komlós, and m2(H) is the 2-density of H. We show that this theorem can be bootstrapped to obtain an H-tiling covering all but at most $\gamma {(C/p)^{{m_2}(H)}}$ vertices, which is strictly smaller when $p \ge C{n^{ - 1/{m_2}(H)}}$ . In the case where H = K3, this answers the question of Balogh, Lee and Samotij. Furthermore, for an arbitrary graph H we give an upper bound on p for which some leftover is unavoidable and a bound on the size of a largest H -tiling for p below this value.

A colouring of the vertices of a hypergraph is called conflict-free if each edge e of contains a vertex whose colour does not repeat in e. The smallest number of colours required for such a colouring is called the conflict-free chromatic number of , and is denoted by χCF(). Pach and Tardos proved that for an (2r − 1)-uniform hypergraph with m edges, χCF() is at most of the order of rm1/r log m, for fixed r and large m. They also raised the question whether a similar upper bound holds for r-uniform hypergraphs. In this paper we show that this is not necessarily the case. Furthermore, we provide lower and upper bounds on the minimum number of edges of an r-uniform simple hypergraph that is not conflict-free k-colourable.
