Anagram-free Graph Colouring and Colour Schemes WILSONTIMOTHY EDWARD 2019 Graphs model the connectivity of networks, and many researchers study how to colour the nodes of a graph under various restrictions. Anagram-free colouring is a type of graph colouring which requires the first half of every path through a graph to not be a permutation of the second half. This thesis answers questions about the number of colours required to anagram-free colour many types of graphs. It also studies anagram-free colouring in a wider context by introducing colour schemes, an axiomatic approach that unifies known types of graph colouring.
