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 …

Proof of the clustered Hadwiger conjecture

V Dujmović, L Esperet, P Morin… - 2023 IEEE 64th Annual …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Hadwiger's Conjecture asserts that every K_h-minor-free graph is properly (h-1)-colourable.
We prove the following improper analogue of Hadwiger's Conjecture: for fixed h, every K_h …

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 …

Product structure of graphs with an excluded minor

F Illingworth, A Scott, D Wood - Transactions of the American Mathematical …, 2024 - ams.org
This paper shows that $ K_t $-minor-free (and $ K_ {s, t} $-minor-free) graphs $ G $ are
subgraphs of products of a tree-like graph $ H $(of bounded treewidth) and a complete …

This thesis contains a brief overview of my research activities between 2009 and 2017 as
Chargé de Recherche CNRS at the G-SCOP laboratory in Grenoble, France. I chose to …

Product structure extension of the Alon–Seymour–Thomas theorem

M Distel, V Dujmović, D Eppstein… - SIAM Journal on Discrete …, 2024 - SIAM
Alon, Seymour, and Thomas [J. Amer. Math. Soc., 3 (1990), pp. 801–808] proved that every-
vertex graph excluding as a minor has treewidth less than. Illingworth, Scott, and Wood …

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 …

Colouring planar graphs with three colours and no large monochromatic components

L Esperet, G Joret - Combinatorics, Probability and Computing, 2014 - cambridge.org
We prove the existence of a function such that the vertices of every planar graph with
maximum degree Δ can be 3-coloured in such a way that each monochromatic component …

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 …
