The arc-width of a graph.
The cost chromatic number and hypergraph parameters
In a graph, by definition, the weight of a (proper) coloring with positive integers is the sum of the colors. The chromatic sum is the minimum weight, taken over all the proper colorings. The minimum number of colors in a coloring of minimum weight is the cost chromatic number or strength of the graph. We derive general upper bounds for the strength, in terms of a new parameter of representations by edge intersections of hypergraphs.

The representation of multi-hypergraphs by set intersections
This paper deals with weighted set systems (V,,q), where V is a set of indices, and the weight q is a nonnegative integer function on . The basic idea of the paper is to apply weighted set systems to formulate restrictions on intersections. It is of interest to know whether a weighted set system can be represented by set intersections. An intersection representation of (V,,q) is defined to be an indexed family of subsets of a set S such that for each E ∈ . A necessary condition for the existence...

The structure of plane graphs with independent crossings and its applications to coloring problems
If a graph G has a drawing in the plane in such a way that every two crossings are independent, then we call G a plane graph with independent crossings or IC-planar graph for short. In this paper, the structure of IC-planar graphs with minimum degree at least two or three is studied. By applying their structural results, we prove that the edge chromatic number of G is Δ if Δ ≥ 8, the list edge (resp. list total) chromatic number of G is Δ (resp. Δ + 1) if Δ ≥ 14 and the linear arboricity of G is...
