On the chromatic polynomial and counting DP-colorings of graphs

H Kaul, JA Mudrock - Advances in Applied Mathematics, 2021 - Elsevier
The chromatic polynomial of a graph G, denoted P (G, m), is equal to the number of proper m-
colorings of G. The list color function of graph G, denoted P ℓ (G, m), is a list analogue of the …

Extremal regular graphs: independent sets and graph homomorphisms

Y Zhao - The American Mathematical Monthly, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
This survey concerns regular graphs that are extremal with respect to the number of
independent sets and, more generally, graph homomorphisms. More precisely, in the family …

Counting colorings of triangle-free graphs

A Bernshteyn, T Brazelton, R Cao, A Kang - Journal of Combinatorial …, 2023 - Elsevier
By a theorem of Johansson, every triangle-free graph G of maximum degree Δ has
chromatic number at most (C+ o (1)) Δ/log⁡ Δ for some universal constant C> 0. Using the …

Uniformly random colourings of sparse graphs

E Hurley, F Pirot - Proceedings of the 55th Annual ACM Symposium on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We analyse uniformly random proper k-colourings of sparse graphs with maximum degree Δ
in the regime Δ< k ln k. This regime corresponds to the lower side of the shattering threshold …

Extremes of the internal energy of the Potts model on cubic graphs

E Davies, M Jenssen, W Perkins… - Random Structures & …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
We prove tight upper and lower bounds on the internal energy per particle (expected
number of monochromatic edges per vertex) in the anti‐ferromagnetic Potts model on cubic …

Extremal regular graphs: the case of the infinite regular tree

P Csikvári - arXiv preprint arXiv:1612.01295, 2016 - arxiv.org
In this paper we study the following problem. Let $ A $ be a fixed graph, and let $\hom (G, A)
$ denote the number of homomorphisms from a graph $ G $ to $ A $. Furthermore, let $ v (G) …

Extremal Graphs for Widom–Rowlinson Colorings in k-Chromatic Graphs

J Engbers, A Erey - Graphs and Combinatorics, 2024 - Springer
Abstract The Widom–Rowlinson graph, H WR, is the fully looped path on three vertices. Let
hom (G, H WR) be the number of graph homomorphisms from G to H WR or, equivalently …

[图书][B] Extremal Problems for Graph Homomorphisms and Automata

C Tomlinson - 2017 - search.proquest.com
Graph theory first arose in 1736 when Euler developed the basic concepts solving the
Bridges of Konigsberg problem. Many modern areas of graph theory are unified in the study …
