چکیده

For a fixed integer m, we consider edge colorings of complete graphs which contain no properly edge colored cycle Cm as a subgraph. Within colorings free of these subgraphs, we establish a global structure by bounding the number of colors that can induce a spanning and connected subgraph. In the case of small cycles, namely C4, C5, and C6, we show that our bounds are sharp.

On cycles in intersection graphs of rings

‎Let $R$ be a commutative ring with non-zero identity. ‎We describe all $C_3$‎- ‎and $C_4$-free intersection graph of non-trivial ideals of $R$ as well as $C_n$-free intersection graph when $R$ is a reduced ring. ‎Also, ‎we shall describe all complete, ‎regular and $n$-claw-free intersection graphs. ‎Finally, ‎we shall prove that almost all Artin rings $R$ have Hamiltonian intersection graphs. ...

Graphs and colors : edge-colored graphs, edge-colorings and proper connections. (Graphes et couleurs : graphes arêtes-coloriés, coloration d'arêtes et connexité propre)

In this thesis, we study different problems in edge-colored graphs and edge-colored multigraphs, such as proper connection, strong edge colorings, and proper hamiltonian paths and cycles. Finally, we improve the known O(n) algorithm to decide the behavior of a graph under the biclique operator, by studying bicliques in graphs without false-twin vertices. In particular, • We first study the k-pr...

On Rainbow Cycles and Paths

In a properly edge colored graph, a subgraph using every color at most once is called rainbow. In this thesis, we study rainbow cycles and paths in proper edge colorings of complete graphs, and we prove that in every proper edge coloring of Kn, there is a rainbow path on (3/4− o(1))n vertices, improving on the previously best bound of (2n + 1)/3 from [?]. Similarly, a k-rainbow path in a proper...

On rainbow cycles in edge colored complete graphs

In this paper we consider optimal edge colored complete graphs. We show that in any optimal edge coloring of the complete graph Kn, there is a Hamilton cycle with at most √ 8n different colors. We also prove that in every proper edge coloring of the complete graph Kn, there is a rainbow cycle with at least n/2−1 colors (A rainbow cycle is a cycle whose all edges have different colors). We show ...

Colored graphs without colorful cycles

A colored graph is a complete graph in which a color has been assigned to each edge, and a colorful cycle is a cycle in which each edge has a different color. We first show that a colored graph lacks colorful cycles iff it is Gallai, i.e., lacks colorful triangles. We then show that, under the operation m◦n ≡ m+n−2, the omitted lengths of colorful cycles in a colored graph form a monoid isomorp...
