Structure and colour in triangle-free graphs

N. R. Aravind, Stijn Cambie, Wouter Cames van Batenburg +3

Motivated by a recent conjecture of the first author, we prove that every properly coloured triangle-free graph of chromatic number contains a rainbow independent set of size $…

Erdős-Pósa from ball packing

Wouter Cames van Batenburg, Gwenaël Joret, Arthur Ulmer

A classic theorem of Erdős and Pósa (1965) states that every graph has either vertex-disjoint cycles or a set of vertices meeting all its cycles. While the standa…

Large independent sets in triangle-free cubic graphs: beyond planarity

Wouter Cames van Batenburg, Jan Goedgebeur, Gwenaël Joret

Every -vertex planar triangle-free graph with maximum degree at most has an independent set of size at least . This was first conjectured by Albertson, Bollobá…

Strong chromatic index and Hadwiger number

Wouter Cames van Batenburg, Rémi de Joannis de Verclos, Ross J. Kang +1

We investigate the effect of a fixed forbidden clique minor upon the strong chromatic index, both in multigraphs and in simple graphs. We conjecture for each that any $K_k…

Strong cliques and forbidden cycles

Wouter Cames van Batenburg, Ross J. Kang, François Pirot

Given a graph , the strong clique number of is the cardinality of a largest collection of edges every pair of which are incident or connected by an edge in . We…
