Recent developments in circular colouring of graphs
X Zhu - Topics in Discrete Mathematics: Dedicated to Jarik …, 2006 - Springer
The study of circular chromatic number Xc (G) of a graph G, which is a refinement of its
chromatic number, has been very active in the past decade. Many nice results are obtained …

[HTML][HTML] Colorings of plane graphs: a survey
OV Borodin - Discrete Mathematics, 2013 - Elsevier
After a brief historical account, a few simple structural theorems about plane graphs useful
for coloring are stated, and two simple applications of discharging are given. Afterwards, the …

Homomorphisms of signed graphs
R Naserasr, E Rollová, É Sopena - Journal of Graph Theory, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A signed graph is a graph G together with an assignment of signs+ and− to all the edges of
G where Σ is the set of negative edges. Furthermore and are considered to be equivalent if …

[HTML][HTML] Homomorphisms and colourings of oriented graphs: An updated survey
É Sopena - Discrete Mathematics, 2016 - Elsevier
An oriented graph is a loopless digraph with no opposite arcs. An oriented k-colouring of an
oriented graph G ⃗ is a partition of its set of vertices into k parts in such a way that no two …

[HTML][HTML] An introduction to the discharging method via graph coloring
DW Cranston, DB West - Discrete Mathematics, 2017 - Elsevier
We provide a “how-to” guide to the use and application of the Discharging Method. Our aim
is not to exhaustively survey results proved by this technique, but rather to demystify the …

Counterexamples to Jaeger's circular flow conjecture
It was conjectured by Jaeger that every 4 p-edge-connected graph admits a modulo (2 p+ 1)-
orientation (and, therefore, admits a nowhere-zero circular (2+ 1 p)-flow). This conjecture …

Vertex decompositions of sparse graphs into an edgeless subgraph and a subgraph of maximum degree at most k
A graph G is (k, 0)‐colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into subsets V1 and V2 such
that in G [V1] every vertex has degree at most k, while G [V2] is edgeless. For every integer …

Homomorphisms of 2‐Edge‐Colored Triangle‐Free Planar Graphs
In this article, we introduce and study the properties of some target graphs for 2‐edge‐
colored homomorphism. Using these properties, we obtain in particular that the 2‐edge …

Signed bipartite circular cliques and a bipartite analogue of Grötzsch's theorem
R Naserasr, Z Wang - Discrete Mathematics, 2023 - Elsevier
A circular r-coloring of a signed graph (G, σ) is to assign points of a circle of circumference r,
r≥ 2, to the vertices of G such that vertices connected by a positive edge are at circular …
