This research topic explores the theoretical foundations and practical applications of graph labeling and coloring problems, both of which are central to modern combinatorics and computer science.

Consider an urn model where at each step one of q colors is sampled according to some probability distribution and a ball of that color is placed in an urn. The distribution of assigning balls to urns ...

One of the great episodes in the history of mathematics began on October 23, 1852. In a letter to Sir William Rowan Hamilton, Augustus De Morgan wrote, “A student of mine asked me today to give him a ...

A theorem for coloring a large class of “perfect” mathematical networks could ease the way for a long-sought general coloring proof. Four years ago, the mathematician Maria Chudnovsky faced an all-too ...

In the fall of 1972, Vance Faber was a new professor at the University of Colorado. When two influential mathematicians, Paul Erdős and László Lovász, came for a visit, Faber decided to host a tea ...
