Linear arboricity of graphs
List coloring of complete multipartite graphs
The choice number of a graph G is the smallest integer k such that for every assignment of a list L(v) of k colors to each vertex v of G, there is a proper coloring of G that assigns to each vertex v a color from L(v). We present upper and lower bounds on the choice number of complete multipartite graphs with partite classes of equal sizes and complete r-partite graphs with r-1 partite classes of order two.
Low-degree graph partitioning via local search with applications to constraint satisfaction, max cut, and coloring.
Lower bounds for the domination number
In this note, we prove several lower bounds on the domination number of simple connected graphs. Among these are the following: the domination number is at least two-thirds of the radius of the graph, three times the domination number is at least two more than the number of cut-vertices in the graph, and the domination number of a tree is at least as large as the minimum order of a maximal matching.
