A Non-Markovian Coupling for Randomly Sampling Colorings
We study a simple Markov chain, known as the Glauber dynamics, for randomly sampling (proper) k-colorings of an input graph G on n vertices with maximum degree ∆ and girth g. We...

On the First-Fit Chromatic Number of Graphs
The first-fit chromatic number of a graph is the number of colors needed in the worst case of a greedy coloring. It is also called the Grundy number, which is defined to be the max...

On the Minimum Load Coloring Problem
Given a graph G = (V, E) with n vertices, m edges and maximum vertex degree ∆, the load distribution of a coloring ϕ : V → {red, blue} is a pair dϕ = (rϕ, bϕ), where rϕ i...

Locally identifying coloring of graphs
Let G = (V, E) be a graph. Let c : V → N be a vertex-coloring of the vertices of G. For any vertex u, we denote by N[u] its closed neighborhood (u and its adjacent vertices), an...

On the Number of Cycles in Planar Graphs
We investigate the maximum number of simple cycles and the maximum number of Hamiltonian cycles in a planar graph G with n vertices. Using the transfer matrix method we construct a...
