TLDR
This survey attempts to bring together most of the results and papers that dealt with the concept of rainbow connection, including (strong) rainbow connection number, rainbow k-connectivity, k-rainbow index, rainbow vertex-connection number, algorithms and computational complexity.
Abstract
The concept of rainbow connection was introduced by Chartrand et al. [14] in 2008. It is interesting and recently quite a lot papers have been published about it. In this survey we attempt to bring together most of the results and papers that dealt with it. We begin with an introduction, and then try to organize the work into five categories, including (strong) rainbow connection number, rainbow k-connectivity, k-rainbow index, rainbow vertex-connection number, algorithms and computational complexity. This survey also contains some conjectures, open problems and questions.

Total rainbow k-connection in graphs

TL;DR: The total rainbow k -connection number of G , denoted by t r c k ( G ) , is the minimum number of colours required to colour the edges and vertices of G, so that any two vertice of G are connected by k internally vertex-disjoint total-rainbow paths.

The strong rainbow vertex-connection of graphs

TL;DR: The strong rainbow vertex-connection number of a vertex-colored graph is the smallest number of colors that is needed in order to make the graph strongly rainbow vertex connected as discussed by the authors.

Rainbow Connection of Random Regular Graphs

TL;DR: It is proved that with probability tending to one as $n$ goes to infinity the rainbow connection of G satisfies $rc(G)=O(\log n)$, which is best possible up to a hidden constant.

Proper connection number of random graphs

TL;DR: It is shown that almost all graphs have the proper connection number 2, defined as the minimum number of colors needed to color its edges, so that every pair of distinct vertices of G is connected by at least one proper path in G.

An Introduction to the Theory of Groups

TL;DR: The first six chapters provide ample material for a first course: beginning with the basic properties of groups and homomorphisms, topics covered include Lagrange's theorem, the Noether isomorphism theorems, symmetric groups, G-sets, the Sylow theorem, finite Abelian groups, the Krull-Schmidt theorem, solvable and nilpotent groups, and the Jordan-Holder theorem.

Congruent Graphs and the Connectivity of Graphs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give conditions that two graphs be congruent and some theorems on the connectivity of graphs, and conclude with some applications to dual graphs, which can also be proved by topological methods.
