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 ...
Polar graphs are a natural extension of some classes of graphs like bipartite graphs, split graphs and complements of bipartite graphs. A graph is (s, k)-polar if there exists a partition A, B of its vertex set such that A induces a complete s-partite grap ...
In this note we consider two coloring problems in mixed graphs, i.e., graphs containing edges and arcs. We show that they are both NP-complete in cubic planar bipartite graphs. This answers an open question from \cite{Ries2}. ...
We consider a gauge symmetric version of the p-spin glass model on a complete graph. The gauge symmetry guarantees the absence of replica symmetry breaking and allows to fully use the interpolation scheme of Guerra to rigorously compute the free energy. In ...
We consider the binary consensus problem where each node in the network initially observes one of two states and the goal for each node is to eventually decide which one of the two states was initially held by the majority of the nodes. Each node contacts ...

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 colouring of the vertices of a hypergraph H is called conflict-free if each hyperedge E of H contains a vertex of 'unique' colour that does not get repeated in E. The smallest number of colours required for such a colouring is called the conflict-free ch ...
Wireless sensor networks have emerged a few years ago, enabling large scale sensing at low cost. There are many interesting problems related to this new sensing tool: designing robust and small hardware, defining adapted routing protocols, minimizing the e ...
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- ...
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 ...
