Set-defined graph classes: $χ$-boundedness meets tropical algebra

Sarosh Adenwalla, Samuel Braunfeld, Tomáš Hons, John Sylvester +1 more

This paper studies set-defined graph classes and proves that bounded unions of shift-colorable graphs form the fundamental obstruction to chromatic number boundness in these classes.

Coloring digraphs with $Δ-b$ colors

Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Lucas Picasarri-Arrieta

This paper shows that for a digraph with large maximum product of in- and out-degrees, either there exists a large biclique or the dichromatic number is smaller than expected.

Cut-homotopies and the complexity of edge-coloring problems

Alexey Barsukov, Roman Feller, Maximilian Hadek, Davide Perinti

The paper shows that every problem asking if a given graph has an edge-coloring without an edge-colored clique from a fixed family is poly-time equivalent to a Constraint Satisfaction Problem, resulti…
