If the vertices of a graph $G$ are colored with $k$ colors such that no adjacent vertices receive the same color and the sizes of any two color classes differ by at most one, then $G$ is said to be equitably $k$-colorable. Let $|G|$ denote the number of vertices of $G$ and $Delta=Delta(G)$ the maximum degree of a vertex in $G$. We prove that a graph $G$ of order at least 6 is equitably $Delta$-colorable if $G$ satisfies $(|G|+1)/3 leq Delta < |G|/2$ and none of its components is a $K_{Delta +1}$.

A strong edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an edge-coloring such that any two edges on a path of length three receive distinct colors. We denote the strong chromatic index by $chi_{s}(G)$ which is the minimum number of colors that allow a strong edge-coloring of $G$. ErdH{o}s and Nev{s}etv{r}il conjectured in 1985 that the upper bound of $chi_{s}(G)$ is $frac{5}{4}Delta^{2}$ when $Delta$ is even and $frac{1}{4}(5Delta^{2}-2Delta +1)$ when $Delta$ is odd, where $Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$. The conjecture is proved right when $Deltaleq3$. The best known upper bound for $Delta=4$ is 22 due to Cranston previously. In this paper we extend the result of Cranston to list strong edge-coloring, that is to say, we prove that when $Delta=4$ the upper bound of list strong chromatic index is 22.
We confirm the equitable $Delta$-coloring conjecture for interval graphs and establish the monotonicity of equitable colorability for them. We further obtain results on equitable colorability about square (or Cartesian) and cross (or direct) products of graphs.
Let $G$ be a simple graph with maximum degree $Delta(G)$. A subgraph $H$ of $G$ is overfull if $|E(H)|>Delta(G)lfloor |V(H)|/2 rfloor$. Chetwynd and Hilton in 1985 conjectured that a graph $G$ with $Delta(G)>|V(G)|/3$ has chromatic index $Delta(G)$ if and only if $G$ contains no overfull subgraph. The 1-factorization conjecture is a special case of this overfull conjecture, which states that for even $n$, every regular $n$-vertex graph with degree at least about $n/2$ has a 1-factorization and was confirmed for large graphs in 2014. Supporting the overfull conjecture as well as generalizing the 1-factorization conjecture in an asymptotic way, in this paper, we show that for any given $0<varepsilon <1$, there exists a positive integer $n_0$ such that the following statement holds: if $G$ is a graph on $2nge n_0$ vertices with minimum degree at least $(1+varepsilon)n$, then $G$ has chromatic index $Delta(G)$ if and only if $G$ contains no overfull subgraph.
An incidence of an undirected graph G is a pair $(v,e)$ where $v$ is a vertex of $G$ and $e$ an edge of $G$ incident with $v$. Two incidences $(v,e)$ and $(w,f)$ are adjacent if one of the following holds: (i) $v = w$, (ii) $e = f$ or (iii) $vw = e$ or $f$. An incidence coloring of $G$ assigns a color to each incidence of $G$ in such a way that adjacent incidences get distinct colors. In 2005, Hosseini Dolama emph{et al.}~citep{ds05} proved that every graph with maximum average degree strictly less than $3$ can be incidence colored with $Delta+3$ colors. Recently, Bonamy emph{et al.}~citep{Bonamy} proved that every graph with maximum degree at least $4$ and with maximum average degree strictly less than $frac{7}{3}$ admits an incidence $(Delta+1)$-coloring. In this paper we give bounds for the number of colors needed to color graphs having maximum average degrees bounded by different values between $4$ and $6$. In particular we prove that every graph with maximum degree at least $7$ and with maximum average degree less than $4$ admits an incidence $(Delta+3)$-coloring. This result implies that every triangle-free planar graph with maximum degree at least $7$ is incidence $(Delta+3)$-colorable. We also prove that every graph with maximum average degree less than 6 admits an incidence $(Delta + 7)$-coloring. More generally, we prove that $Delta+k-1$ colors are enough when the maximum average degree is less than $k$ and the maximum degree is sufficiently large.
Given a digraph $D$ with $m $ arcs, a bijection $tau: A(D)rightarrow {1, 2, ldots, m}$ is an antimagic labeling of $D$ if no two vertices in $D$ have the same vertex-sum, where the vertex-sum of a vertex $u $ in $D$ under $tau$ is the sum of labels of all arcs entering $u$ minus the sum of labels of all arcs leaving $u$. We say $(D, tau)$ is an antimagic orientation of a graph $G$ if $D$ is an orientation of $G$ and $tau$ is an antimagic labeling of $D$. Motivated by the conjecture of Hartsfield and Ringel from 1990 on antimagic labelings of graphs, Hefetz, M{u}tze, and Schwartz in 2010 initiated the study of antimagic orientations of graphs, and conjectured that every connected graph admits an antimagic orientation. This conjecture seems hard, and few related results are known. However, it has been verified to be true for regular graphs and biregular bipartite graphs. In this paper, we prove that every connected graph $G$ on $nge9$ vertices with maximum degree at least $n-5$ admits an antimagic orientation.
