Clique-width is a complexity measure of directed as well as undirected graphs. Rank-width is an equivalent complexity measure for undirected graphs and has good algorithmic and structural properties. It is in particular related to the vertex-minor relation. We discuss an extension of the notion of rank-width to edge-colored graphs. A C-colored graph is a graph where the arcs are colored with colors from the set C. There is not a natural notion of rank-width for C-colored graphs. We define two notions of rank-width for them, both based on a coding of C-colored graphs by edge-colored graphs where each edge has exactly one color from a field F and named respectively F-rank-width and F-bi-rank-width. The two notions are equivalent to clique-width. We then present a notion of vertex-minor for F-colored graphs and prove that F-colored graphs of bounded F-rank-width are characterised by a finite list of F-colored graphs to exclude as vertex-minors. A cubic-time algorithm to decide whether a F-colored graph has F-rank-width (resp. F-bi-rank-width) at most k, for fixed k, is also given. Graph operations to check MSOL-definable properties on F-colored graphs of bounded rank-width are presented. A specialisation of all these notions to (directed) graphs without edge colors is presented, which shows that our results generalise the ones in undirected graphs.

An $(m, n)$-colored mixed graph is a graph having arcs of $m$ different colors and edges of $n$ different colors. A graph homomorphism of an $(m, n$)-colored mixed graph $G$ to an $(m, n)$-colored mixed graph $H$ is a vertex mapping such that if $uv$
is an arc (edge) of color $c$ in $G$, then $f(u)f(v)$ is also an arc (edge) of color $c$. The ($m, n)$-colored mixed chromatic number of an $(m, n)$-colored mixed graph $G$, introduced by Nev{s}etv{r}il and Raspaud [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 2000] is the order (number of vertices) of the smallest homomorphic image of $G$. Later Bensmail, Duffy and Sen [Graphs Combin. 2017] introduced another parameter related to the $(m, n)$-colored mixed chromatic number, namely, the $(m, n)$-relative clique number as the maximum cardinality of a vertex subset which, pairwise, must have distinct images with respect to any colored homomorphism. In this article, we study the $(m, n$)-relative clique number for the family of subcubic graphs, graphs with maximum degree $Delta$, planar graphs and triangle-free planar graphs and provide new improved bounds in each of the cases. In particular, for subcubic graphs we provide exact value of the parameter.
An edge-coloring of a graph $G$ with colors $1,2,ldots,t$ is an interval $t$-coloring if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of $G$ are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph $G$ is interval colorable if i
t has an interval $t$-coloring for some positive integer $t$. For an interval colorable graph $G$, $W(G)$ denotes the greatest value of $t$ for which $G$ has an interval $t$-coloring. It is known that the complete graph is interval colorable if and only if the number of its vertices is even. However, the exact value of $W(K_{2n})$ is known only for $n leq 4$. The second author showed that if $n = p2^q$, where $p$ is odd and $q$ is nonnegative, then $W(K_{2n}) geq 4n-2-p-q$. Later, he conjectured that if $n in mathbb{N}$, then $W(K_{2n}) = 4n - 2 - leftlfloorlog_2{n}rightrfloor - left | n_2 right |$, where $left | n_2 right |$ is the number of $1$s in the binary representation of $n$. In this paper we introduce a new technique to construct interval colorings of complete graphs based on their 1-factorizations, which is used to disprove the conjecture, improve lower and upper bounds on $W(K_{2n})$ and determine its exact values for $n leq 12$.
A $k$-proper edge-coloring of a graph G is called adjacent vertex-distinguishing if any two adjacent vertices are distinguished by the set of colors appearing in the edges incident to each vertex. The smallest value $k$ for which $G$ admits such colo
ring is denoted by $chi_a(G)$. We prove that $chi_a(G) = 2R + 1$ for most circulant graphs $C_n([1, R])$.
For a graph $G$ and integer $qgeq 2$, an edge $q$-coloring of $G$ is an assignment of colors to edges of $G$, such that edges incident on a vertex span at most $q$ distinct colors. The maximum edge $q$-coloring problem seeks to maximize the number of
colors in an edge $q$-coloring of a graph $G$. The problem has been studied in combinatorics in the context of {em anti-Ramsey} numbers. Algorithmically, the problem is NP-Hard for $qgeq 2$ and assuming the unique games conjecture, it cannot be approximated in polynomial time to a factor less than $1+1/q$. The case $q=2$, is particularly relevant in practice, and has been well studied from the view point of approximation algorithms. A $2$-factor algorithm is known for general graphs, and recently a $5/3$-factor approximation bound was shown for graphs with perfect matching. The algorithm (which we refer to as the matching based algorithm) is as follows: Find a maximum matching $M$ of $G$. Give distinct colors to the edges of $M$. Let $C_1,C_2,ldots, C_t$ be the connected components that results when M is removed from G. To all edges of $C_i$ give the $(|M|+i)$th color. In this paper, we first show that the approximation guarantee of the matching based algorithm is $(1 + frac {2} {delta})$ for graphs with perfect matching and minimum degree $delta$. For $delta ge 4$, this is better than the $frac {5} {3}$ approximation guarantee proved in {AAAP}. For triangle free graphs with perfect matching, we prove that the approximation factor is $(1 + frac {1}{delta - 1})$, which is better than $5/3$ for $delta ge 3$.
This note resolves an open problem asked by Bezrukov in the open problem session of IWOCA 2014. It shows an equivalence between regular graphs and graphs for which a sequence of invariants presents some symmetric property. We extend this result to a few other sequences.
