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- ...
Graph Coloring is a very active field of research in graph theory as well as in the domain of the design of efficient heuristics to solve problems which, due to their computational complexity, cannot be solved exactly (no guarantee that an optimal solution ...
Routing packets is a central function of multi-hop wireless networks. Traditionally, there have been two paradigms for routing, either based on the geographical coordinates of the nodes (geographic routing), or based on the connectivity graph (topology-bas ...
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 ...
An extension of the basic image reconstruction problem in discrete tomography is considered: given a graph G=(V,E) and a family P of chains Pi together with vectors h(Pi)=(hi1,...,hik), one wants to find a partition $V^{1},. ...
We consider vertex k-colorings of an arbitrary simple, connected, and undirected graph G=(V,E) such that, for every vertex v, at most lambda different colors occur in the closed neighborhood of v. These colorings are called (k,lambda)-colorings. If a graph ...
We present a model for edge updates with restricted randomness in dynamic graph algorithms and a general technique for analyzing the expected running time of an update operation. This model is able to capture the average case in many applications, since (1 ...
We consider the problem of partitioning the node set of a graph into p cliques and k stable sets, namely the (p,k)-coloring problem. Results have been obtained for general graphs \cite{hellcomp}, chordal graphs \cite{hellchordal} and cacti for the case whe ...
