Optimistic chordal coloring: a coalescing heuristic for SSA form programs

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coal ...

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- ...

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 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

-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, ...

Graph colouring approaches for a satellite range scheduling problem

Nicolas Zufferey, Patrick Amstutz, Philippe Giaccari

A goal of this paper is to efficiently adapt the best ingredients of the graph colouring techniques to an NP-hard satellite range scheduling problem, called MuRRSP. We propose two new heuristics for the MuRRSP, where as many jobs as possible have to be sch ...

Variations of coloring problems related to scheduling and discrete tomography

Bernard Ries

The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...

Online Coloring of Comparability Graphs: some results

Benjamin Leroy-Beaulieu

We study online partitioning of posets from a graph theoretical point of view, which is coloring and cocoloring in comparability graphs. For the coloring problem, we analyse the First-Fit algorithm and show a ratio of
