Long properly colored cycles in edge colored complete graphs
Let denote a complete graph on vertices whose edges are
colored in an arbitrary way. Let denote the
maximum number of edges of the same color incident with a vertex of
. A properly colored cycle (path) in is a cycle (path)
in which adjacent edges have distinct colors. B. Bollob\'{a}s and P. Erd\"{o}s
(1976) proposed the following conjecture: if , then contains a properly
colored Hamiltonian cycle. Li, Wang and Zhou proved that if
, then
contains a properly colored cycle of length at least . In this paper, we improve the bound to .Comment: 8 page
List version of (,1)-total labellings
The (,1)-total number of a graph is the width of the
smallest range of integers that suffices to label the vertices and the edges of
such that no two adjacent vertices have the same label, no two incident
edges have the same label and the difference between the labels of a vertex and
its incident edges is at least . In this paper we consider the list version.
Let be a list of possible colors for all . Define
to be the smallest integer such that for every list
assignment with for all , has a
(,1)-total labelling such that for all . We call the (,1)-total labelling choosability and
is list -(,1)-total labelable. In this paper, we present a conjecture on
the upper bound of . Furthermore, we study this parameter for paths
and trees in Section 2. We also prove that for
star with in Section 3 and for outerplanar graph with in Section 4.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
Structural properties of 1-planar graphs and an application to acyclic edge coloring
A graph is called 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge
is crossed by at most one other edge. In this paper, we establish a local
property of 1-planar graphs which describes the structure in the neighborhood
of small vertices (i.e. vertices of degree no more than seven). Meanwhile, some
new classes of light graphs in 1-planar graphs with the bounded degree are
found. Therefore, two open problems presented by Fabrici and Madaras [The
structure of 1-planar graphs, Discrete Mathematics, 307, (2007), 854-865] are
solved. Furthermore, we prove that each 1-planar graph with maximum degree
is acyclically edge -choosable where

List (d,1)-total labelling of graphs embedded in surfaces
The (d,1)-total labelling of graphs was introduced by Havet and Yu. In this
paper, we consider the list version of (d,1)-total labelling of graphs. Let G
be a graph embedded in a surface with Euler characteristic whose
maximum degree is sufficiently large. We prove that the (d,1)-total
choosability of is at most .Comment: 6 page
