A 2-rainbow dominating function (2RDF) of a graph [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the set of all subsets of the set [Formula: see text] such that for any vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], the condition [Formula: see text] is fulfilled. The weight of a 2RDF [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. The [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of a graph [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of a 2RDF of [Formula: see text]. The rainbow bondage number [Formula: see text] of a graph [Formula: see text] with maximum degree at least two is the minimum cardinality of all sets [Formula: see text] for which [Formula: see text]. Dehgardi, Sheikholeslami and Volkmann, [The [Formula: see text]-rainbow bondage number of a graph, Discrete Appl. Math. 174 (2014) 133–139] proved that the rainbow bondage number of a planar graph does not exceed 15. In this paper, we generalize their result for graphs which admit a [Formula: see text]-cell embedding on a surface with non-negative Euler characteristic.

A graph $G$ is $(d_1,...,d_l)$-colorable if the vertex set of $G$ can be partitioned into subsets $V_1,\ldots ,V_l$ such that the graph $G[V_i]$ induced by the vertices of $V_i$ has maximum degree at most $d_i$ for all $1 \leq i \leq l$. In this paper, we focus on complexity aspects of such colorings when $l=2,3$. More precisely, we prove that, for any fixed integers $k,j,g$ with $(k,j) \neq (0,0)$ and $g\geq3$, either every planar graph with girth at least $g$ is $(k,j)$-colorable or it is NP-complete to determine whether a planar graph with girth at least $g$ is $(k,j)$-colorable. Also, for any fixed integer $k$, it is NP-complete to determine whether a planar graph that is either $(0,0,0)$-colorable or non-$(k,k,1)$-colorable is $(0,0,0)$-colorable. Additionally, we exhibit non-$(3,1)$-colorable planar graphs with girth 5 and non-$(2,0)$-colorable planar graphs with girth 7.

Total Coloring Conjecture

A total k-coloring of a graph is an assignment of k colors to its vertices and edges such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total coloring conjecture (TCC) states that every simple graph G has a total ΔG+2-coloring, where ΔG is the maximum degree of G. This conjecture has been confirmed for planar graphs with maximum degree at least 7 or at most 5, i.e., the only open case of TCC is that of maximum degree 6. It is known that every planar graph G of ΔG≥9 or ΔG∈7,8 with some restrictions has a total ΔG+1-coloring. In particular, in (Shen and Wang, 2009), the authors proved that every planar graph with maximum degree 6 and without 4-cycles has a total 7-coloring. In this paper, we improve this result by showing that every diamond-free and house-free planar graph of maximum degree 6 is totally 7-colorable if every 6-vertex is not incident with two adjacent four cycles or three cycles of size p,q,ℓ for some p,q,ℓ∈3,4,4,3,3,4.

Ramsey Numbers

For two given graphs $G_{1}$ and $G_{2}$, the planar Ramsey number $PR(G_{1},G_{2})$ is the smallest integer $N$ such that every planar graph $G$ on $N$ vertices either contains $G_{1}$, or its complement contains $G_{2}$. Let $C_{4}$ be a quadrilateral, $T_{n}$ a tree of order $n\geq 3$ with maximum degree $k$, and $K_{1,k}$ a star of order $k+1$. We show that $PR(C_{4},T_{n})=\max \{n+1,PR(C_{4},K_{1,k})\}$. Combining this with a result of Chen et al. [‘All quadrilateral-wheel planar Ramsey numbers’, Graphs Combin.33 (2017), 335–346] yields exact values of all the quadrilateral-tree planar Ramsey numbers.
