Abstract

top
For a given induced hereditary property 𝓟, a 𝓟-coloring of a graph G is an assignment of one color to each vertex such that the subgraphs induced by each of the color classes have property 𝓟. We consider the effectiveness of on-line 𝓟-coloring algorithms and give the generalizations and extensions of selected results known for on-line proper coloring algorithms. We prove a linear lower bound for the performance guarantee function of any stingy on-line 𝓟-coloring algorithm. In the class of generalized trees, we characterize graphs critical for the greedy 𝓟-coloring. A class of graphs for which a greedy algorithm always generates optimal 𝓟-colorings for the property 𝓟 = K₃-free is given.
