An Optimal Linear-Time Algorithm for Interprocedural Register Allocation in High Level Synthesis Using SSA Form

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

An optimal linear-time algorithm for interprocedural register allocation in high level synthesis is presented. Historically, register allocation has been modeled as a graph coloring problem, which is nondeterministic polynomial time-complete in general; ho ...

Graph coloring with cardinality constraints on the neighborhoods

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Extensions and variations of the basic problem of graph coloring are introduced. The problem consists essentially in finding in a graph G a k-coloring, i.e., a partition V-1,...,V-k of the vertex set of G such that, for some specified neighborhood (N) over ...

A tutorial on the use of graph coloring for some problems in robotics

Dominique de Werra, Tinaz Ekim

We study the problem where a robot has to pick up items of different sizes which are stored along a corridor. A natural requirement is that the items have to be collected in decreasing order of their sizes. We deal with various systems according to the loc ...

Degree-constrained edge partitioning in graphs arising from discrete tomography

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Starting from the basic problem of reconstructing a 2-dimensional image given by its projections on two axes, one associates a model of edge coloring in a complete bipartite graph. The complexity of the case with k=3 colors is open. Variations and special ...

On a graph coloring problem arising from discrete tomography

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

An extension of the basic image reconstruction problem in discrete tomography is considered: given a graph

G=(V,E)

and a family

\mathcal{P}

of chains

P_i

together with vectors

h(P_i)=(h_{i}^{1},...,h_{i}^{k})

, one wants to find a partition $V^{1},. ...

Complexity of mixed graph coloring

Bernard Ries

In this note we consider two coloring problems in mixed graphs, i.e., graphs containing edges and arcs. We show that they are both

\mathcal{NP}

-complete in cubic planar bipartite graphs. This answers an open question from \cite{Ries2}. ...

Variable space search for graph coloring

Nicolas Zufferey, Matthieu Plumettaz

Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, ..., k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has both endpoints with the same color. We propose a new local search methodology, ...

Some coloring and walking problems in graphs

Benjamin Leroy-Beaulieu

Graph theory is an important topic in discrete mathematics. It is particularly interesting because it has a wide range of applications. Among the main problems in graph theory, we shall mention the following ones: graph coloring and the Hamiltonian circuit ...

On two coloring problems in mixed graphs

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

We are interested in coloring the vertices of a mixed graph, i.e., a graph containing edges and arcs. We consider two different coloring problems: in the first one we want adjacent vertices to have different colors and the tail of an arc to get a color str ...

A graph coloring heuristic using partial solutions and a reactive tabu scheme

Nicolas Zufferey

Most of the recent heuristics for the graph coloring problem start from an infeasible k-coloring (adjacent vertices may have the same color) and try to make the solution feasible through a sequence of color exchanges. In contrast, our approach (called FOO- ...
