A subgraph is called rainbow if all its edges have different colors. The problem of finding rainbow subgraphs or other restricted structures in edge-colored graphs has a long history, dating back to Euler's work on Latin squares. It has also proven to be a powerful method for studying several well-known questions in other areas. In this survey, we will provide a brief introduction to this topic, discuss several results in this area, and demonstrate their applications to problems in graph decomposition, additive combinatorics, theoretical computer science, and coding theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-12-18T15:27:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "edge-colored graph", "restricted subgraphs", "applications", "finding rainbow subgraphs", "eulers work" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
