An integer distance graph is a graph G(D) with the set Z of integers as vertex set and two vertices u,v ∈ Z are adjacent if and only if |u-v| ∈ D where the distance set D is a subset of the positive integers N. In this note we determine the chromatic index, the choice index, the total chromatic number and the total choice number of all integer distance graphs, and the choice number of special integer distance graphs.
An edge-coloured graph G is rainbow connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colours. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted rc(G), is the smallest number of colours that are needed in order to make G rainbow connected. In this paper we prove that rc(G) = 2 for every connected graph G of order n and size m, where $\binom{n-1}{2} + 1 ≤ m ≤ \binom{n}{2} - 1$. We also characterize graphs with rainbow connection number two and large clique number.

Let r, s ∈ N, r ≥ s, and P and Q be two additive and hereditary graph properties. A (P,Q)-total (r, s)-coloring of a graph G = (V,E) is a coloring of the vertices and edges of G by s-element subsets of Zr such that for each color i, 0 ≤ i ≤ r − 1, the vertices colored by subsets containing i induce a subgraph of G with property P, the edges colored by subsets containing i induce a subgraph of G with property Q, and color sets of incident vertices and edges are disjoint. The fractional (P,Q)-total chromatic number χ′′ f,P,Q(G) of G is defined as the infimum of all ratios r/s such that G has a (P,Q)-total (r, s)-coloring. A (P,Q)-total independent set T = VT ∪ET ⊆ V ∪E is the union of a set VT of vertices and a set ET of edges of G such that for the graphs induced by the sets VT and ET it holds that G[VT ] ∈ P, G[ET ] ∈ Q, and G[VT ] and G[ET ] are disjoint. Let TP,Q be the set of all (P,Q)-total independent sets of G. Let L(x) be a set of admissible colors for every element x ∈ V ∪ E. The graph G is called (P,Q)-total (a, b)-list colorable if for each list assignment L with |L(x)| = a for all x ∈ V ∪E it is possible to choose a subset C(x) ⊆ L(x) with |C(x)| = b for all x ∈ V ∪ E such that the set Ti which is defined by Ti = {x ∈ V ∪ E : i ∈ C(x)} belongs to TP,Q for every color i. The (P,Q)- choice ratio chrP,Q(G) of G is defined as the infimum of all ratios a/b such that G is (P,Q)-total (a, b)-list colorable. We give a direct proof of χ′′ f,P,Q(G) = chrP,Q(G) for all simple graphs G and we present for some properties P and Q new bounds for the (P,Q)-total chromatic number and for the (P,Q)-choice ratio of a graph G.

An edge-coloured connected graph G = (V,E) is called rainbow-connected if each pair of distinct vertices of G is connected by a path whose edges have distinct colours. The rainbow connection number of G, denoted by rc(G), is the minimum number of colours such that G is rainbow-connected. In this paper we prove that rc(G) ≤ k if |V (G)| = n and for all integers n and k with n − 6 ≤ k ≤ n − 3. We also show that this bound is tight.

In 1980 Bondy [2] proved that a (k+s)-connected graph of order n ≥ 3 is traceable (s = −1) or Hamiltonian (s = 0) or Hamiltonian-connected (s = 1) if the degree sum of every set of k+1 pairwise nonadjacent vertices is at least ((k+1)(n+s−1)+1)/2. It is shown in [1] that one can allow exceptional (k+ 1)-sets violating this condition and still implying the considered Hamiltonian property. In this note we generalize this result for s = −1 and s = 0 and graphs that fulfill a certain connectivity condition.

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph and for every edge e ∈ E let L(e) be a set (list) of available colors. The graph G is called L-edge colorable if there is a proper edge coloring c of G with c(e) ∈ L(e) for all e ∈ E. A function f : E → ℕ is called an edge choice function of G and G is said to be f-edge choosable if G is L-edge colorable for every list assignment L with |L(e)| = f(e) for all e ∈ E. Set size(f) = ∑e∈E f(e) and define the sum choice index χ′sc(G) as the minimum of size(f) over all edge choice functions f of G. There exists a greedy coloring of the edges of G which leads to the upper bound χ′sc(G) ≤ 1/2 ∑v∈V d(v)2. A graph is called sec-greedy if its sum choice index equals this upper bound. We present some general results on the sum choice index of graphs including a lower bound and we determine this index for several classes of graphs. Moreover, we present classes of sec-greedy graphs as well as all such graphs of order at most 5.
An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphism. Let P and Q be additive hereditary properties of graphs. A (P,Q)-total coloring of a simple graph G is a coloring of the vertices V(G) and edges E(G) of G such that for each color i the vertices colored by i induce a subgraph of property P, the edges colored by i induce a subgraph of property Q and incident vertices and edges obtain different colors. In this paper we present some general basic results on (P,Q)-total colorings. We determine the (P,Q)-total chromatic number of paths and cycles and, for specific properties, of complete graphs. Moreover, we prove a compactness theorem for (P,Q)-total colorings.

Let P and Q be additive and hereditary graph properties, r, s ∈ N, r ≥ s, and [ℤr]s be the set of all s-element subsets of ℤr. An (r, s)-fractional (P,Q)-total coloring of G is an assignment h : V (G) ∪ E(G) → [ℤr]s such that for each i ∈ ℤr the following holds: the vertices of G whose color sets contain color i induce a subgraph of G with property P, edges with color sets containing color i induce a subgraph of G with property Q, and the color sets of incident vertices and edges are disjoint. If each vertex and edge of G is colored with a set of s consecutive elements of ℤr we obtain an (r, s)-circular (P,Q)-total coloring of G. In this paper we present basic results on (r, s)-fractional/circular (P,Q)-total colorings. We introduce the fractional and circular (P,Q)-total chromatic number of a graph and we determine this number for complete graphs and some classes of additive and hereditary properties.
