Two (proper) colorings of a graph are adjacent if they differ on exactly one vertex. Jerrum proved that any $(d + 2)$-coloring of any d-degenerate graph can be transformed into any other via a sequence of adjacent colorings. A result of Bonamy et al. ensures that a shortest transformation can have a quadratic length even for $d = 1$. Bousquet and Perarnau proved that a linear transformation exists for between $(2d + 2)$-colorings. It is open to determine if this bound can be reduced. In this note, we prove that it can be reduced for graphs of treewidth 2, which are 2-degenerate. There exists a linear transformation between 5-colorings. It completes the picture for graphs of treewidth 2 since there exist graphs of treewidth 2 such a linear transformation between 4-colorings does not exist.

The objective of the well-known Towers of Hanoi puzzle is to move a set of disks one at a time from one of a set of pegs to another, while keeping the disks sorted on each peg. We propose an adversarial variation in which the first player forbids a s
et of states in the puzzle, and the second player must then convert one randomly-selected state to another without passing through forbidden states. Analyzing this version raises the question of the treewidth of Hanoi graphs. We find this number exactly for three-peg puzzles and provide nearly-tight asymptotic bounds for larger numbers of pegs.
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 $delta ge 3$.
A graph $G$ is said to be the intersection of graphs $G_1,G_2,ldots,G_k$ if $V(G)=V(G_1)=V(G_2)=cdots=V(G_k)$ and $E(G)=E(G_1)cap E(G_2)capcdotscap E(G_k)$. For a graph $G$, $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)$ (resp. $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)$) denotes the minimum num
ber of cographs (resp. threshold graphs) whose intersection gives $G$. We present several new bounds on these parameters for general graphs as well as some special classes of graphs. It is shown that for any graph $G$: (a) $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)leqmathrm{tw}(G)+2$, (b) $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)leqmathrm{pw}(G)+1$, and (c) $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)leqchi(G)cdotmathrm{box}(G)$, where $mathrm{tw}(G)$, $mathrm{pw}(G)$, $chi(G)$ and $mathrm{box}(G)$ denote respectively the treewidth, pathwidth, chromatic number and boxicity of the graph $G$. We also derive the exact values for these parameters for cycles and show that every forest is the intersection of two cographs. These results allow us to derive improved bounds on $mathrm{dim}_{COG}(G)$ and $mathrm{dim}_{TH}(G)$ when $G$ belongs to some special graph classes.
The thinness of a graph is a width parameter that generalizes some properties of interval graphs, which are exactly the graphs of thinness one. Many NP-complete problems can be solved in polynomial time for graphs with bounded thinness, given a suita
ble representation of the graph. In this paper we study the thinness and its variations of graph products. We show that the thinness behaves well in general for products, in the sense that for most of the graph products defined in the literature, the thinness of the product of two graphs is bounded by a function (typically product or sum) of their thinness, or of the thinness of one of them and the size of the other. We also show for some cases the non-existence of such a function.
For any class $mathcal{C}$ of bipartite graphs, we define quasi-$cal C$ to be the class of all graphs $G$ such that every bipartition of $G$ belongs to $cal C$. This definition is motivated by a generalisation of the switch Markov chain on perfect ma
tchings from bipartite graphs to nonbipartite graphs. The monotone graphs, also known as bipartite permutation graphs and proper interval bigraphs, are such a class of bipartite graphs. We investigate the structure of quasi-monotone graphs and hence construct a polynomial time recognition algorithm for graphs in this class.
