Applications of hypergraph coloring to coloring graphs not inducing certain trees

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics, 1996
The authors present a simple result on coloring hypergraphs and use it to obtain bounds on the chromatic number of graphs which do not induce certain trees. Several open problems are discussed.

New hardness results for graph and hypergraph colorings.

open access: yesElectron. Colloquium Comput. Complex., 2016
Finding a proper coloring of a t-colorable graph G with t colors is a classic NP-hard problem when t >= 3. In this work, we investigate the approximate coloring problem in which the objective is to find a proper c-coloring of G where c >= t. We show that for all t >= 3, it is NP-hard to find a c-coloring when c

Color-critical Graphs and Hereditary Hypergraphs

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
A quick proof of Gallai's celebrated theorem on color-critical graphs is given from Gallai's simple, ingenious lemma on factor-critical graphs, in terms of partitioning the vertex-set into a minimum number of hyperedges of a hereditary hypergraph, generalizing the chromatic number.

Erdős‐Rogers Functions for Arbitrary Pairs of Graphs

open access: yesRandom Structures &Algorithms, Volume 68, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Let fF,G(n)$$ {f}_{F,G}(n) $$ be the largest size of an induced F$$ F $$‐free subgraph that every n$$ n $$‐vertex G$$ G $$‐free graph is guaranteed to contain. We prove that for any triangle‐free graph F$$ F $$, fF,K3(n)=fK2,K3(n)1+o(1)=n12+o(1).$$ {f}_{F,{K}_3}(n)={f}_{K_2,{K}_3}{(n)}^{1+o(1)}={n}^{\frac{1}{2}+o(1)}. $$Along the way we give a

Color-critical graphs and hypergraphs

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 1974
Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to present a technique for obtaining constructions of color-critical graphs. The technique consists in reducing color-critical hypergraphs to color-critical graphs, and the constructions obtained generalize and unify known constructions.

The dynamics of criminal collaboration: Multiplex ties in mafia networks

open access: yesCriminology, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 284-312, May 2026.
Abstract This study examines how social embeddedness and multiplex relationships shape criminal collaboration within organized crime networks. Drawing on data from three major investigations into the ‘Ndrangheta, we analyze how kinship, clan affiliation, leadership, and prior interactions influence participation in meetings and phone calls.

Fractional clique decompositions of dense hypergraphs

open access: yesBulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 58, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract In 2014, Keevash famously proved the existence of (n,q,r)$(n,q,r)$‐Steiner systems as part of settling the Existence Conjecture of Combinatorial Designs (dating from the mid‐1800s). In 2020, Glock, Kühn, and Osthus conjectured a minimum degree generalization: specifically that minimum (r−1)$(r-1)$‐degree at least (1−Cqr−1)n$(1-\frac{C}{q^{r-1}}

Color-bounded hypergraphs, V: host graphs and subdivisions

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2011
A color-bounded hypergraph is a hypergraph (set system) with ver- tex set X and edge set e = {E1, . . . ,Em}, together with integers si and ti satisfying 1 ≤ si ≤ ti ≤ |E1| for each i = 1, . . . ,m. A vertex coloring φ is proper if for every i, the number of colors occurring in edge 1 satisfies si ≤ |φ(Ei)| ≤ t i.

A Vulnerability Lens for Intuitive‐Logic Scenarios

open access: yesFUTURES &FORESIGHT SCIENCE, Volume 8, Issue 1, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Exploration of possibilities by means of intuitive logic is hampered by a large number of scenarios, which easily exceed the limits imposed by human bounded rationality. While many practitioners constrain their scenarios within a 2 × 2 $2\times 2$ matrix by design, more structured approaches point to rationales such as eliminating ...
