Let $f$ be an optimal proper coloring of a graph $G$ and let $c$ be a coloring of the vertices of $G$ obtained by permuting the colors on vertices in the proper coloring $f$. The villainy of $c$, written $B(c)$, is the minimum number of vertices that must be recolored to obtain a proper coloring of $G$ with the additional condition that the number of times each color is used does not change. The villainy of $G$ is defined as $B(G)=max_{c}B(c)$, over all optimal proper colorings of $G$. In this paper, we characterize graphs $G$ with $B(G)=2$.
Getting inspired by the famous no-three-in-line problem and by the general position subset selection problem from discrete geometry, the same is introduced into graph theory as follows. A set $S$ of vertices in a graph $G$ is a general position set i
Let $P_n$ and $C_n$ denote the path and cycle on $n$ vertices respectively. The dumbbell graph, denoted by $D_{p,k,q}$, is the graph obtained from two cycles $C_p$, $C_q$ and a path $P_{k+2}$ by identifying each pendant vertex of $P_{k+2}$ with a ver
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a finite undirected graph. Orient the edges of $G$ in an arbitrary way. A $2$-cycle on $G$ is a function $d : E^2to mathbb{Z}$ such for each edge $e$, $d(e, cdot)$ and $d(cdot, e)$ are circulations on $G$, and $d(e, f) = 0$ whenever
Let $k$ be a positive integer, and $G$ be a $k$-connected graph. An edge-coloured path is emph{rainbow} if all of its edges have distinct colours. The emph{rainbow $k$-connection number} of $G$, denoted by $rc_k(G)$, is the minimum number of colours
We consider pressing sequences, a certain kind of transformation of graphs with loops into empty graphs, motivated by an application in phylogenetics. In particular, we address the question of when a graph has precisely one such pressing sequence, th
