This paper discusses the computational efficiency and the number of colors used by the following algorithms for coloring vertices of graphs: sequential coloring and sequential coloring with interchange algorithms for a largest-first and a smallest-last orderings of vertices, the coloring-pairs algorithm, and the approximately maximum independent set algorithm. Each algorithm is supplied with a Pascal-like program, time complexity in terms of the size of a graph, and worst-case behaviour. In conclusion,...
We consider a list cost coloring of vertices and edges in the model of vertex, edge, total and pseudototal coloring of graphs. We use a dynamic programming approach to derive polynomial-time algorithms for solving the above problems for trees. Then we generalize this approach to arbitrary graphs with bounded cyclomatic numbers and to their multicolorings.
A graph is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets in such a way that the numbers of vertices in any two sets differ by at most one. The smallest k for which such a coloring exists is known as the equitable chromatic number of G and denoted by 𝜒=(G). It is known that the problem of computation of 𝜒=(G) is NP-hard in general and remains so for corona graphs. In this paper we consider the same model of coloring in the case of corona multiproducts of graphs....
