Defective and clustered graph colouring

DR Wood - arXiv preprint arXiv:1803.07694, 2018 - arxiv.org
Consider the following two ways to colour the vertices of a graph where the requirement that
adjacent vertices get distinct colours is relaxed. A colouring has" defect" $ d $ if each …

The grid-minor theorem revisited

V Dujmović, R Hickingbotham, J Hodor, G Joret… - Proceedings of the 2024 …, 2024 - SIAM
We prove that for every planar graph X of treedepth h, there exists a positive integer c such
that for every X-minor-free graph G, there exists a graph H of treewidth at most f (h) such that …

Improper colourings inspired by Hadwiger's conjecture

J Van Den Heuvel, DR Wood - Journal of the London …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Hadwiger's conjecture asserts that every K t‐minor‐free graph has a proper (t− 1)‐colouring.
We relax the conclusion in Hadwiger's conjecture via improper colourings. We prove that …

Clustered coloring of graphs with bounded layered treewidth and bounded degree

CH Liu, DR Wood - European Journal of Combinatorics, 2024 - Elsevier
The clustering of a graph coloring is the maximum size of monochromatic components. This
paper studies colorings with bounded clustering in graph classes with bounded …

Partitioning H-minor free graphs into three subgraphs with no large components

CH Liu, S Oum - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2018 - Elsevier
We prove that for every graph H, if a graph G has no (odd) H minor, then its vertex set V (G)
can be partitioned into three sets X 1, X 2, X 3 such that for each i, the subgraph induced on …

Colouring strong products

L Esperet, DR Wood - European Journal of Combinatorics, 2024 - Elsevier
Recent results show that several important graph classes can be embedded as subgraphs
of strong products of simpler graphs classes (paths, small cliques, or graphs of bounded …

Clustered variants of Hajós' conjecture

CH Liu, DR Wood - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2022 - Elsevier
Hajós conjectured that every graph containing no subdivision of the complete graph K s+ 1
is properly s-colorable. This conjecture was disproved by Catlin. Indeed, the maximum …
