A visibility ordering of a set of objects, from a given viewpoint, is a total order on the objects such that if object a obstructs object b, then b precedes a in the ordering. Suc...
We present a hybrid evolutionary algorithm for the graph coloring problem (Evocol). Evocol is based on two simple-but-effective ideas. First, we use an enhanced crossover that col...

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...
A very undesirable behavior of any heuristic algorithm is to be stuck in some specific parts of the search space, in particular in the basins of attraction of the local optima. Wh...

Eroh and Oellermann defined BRR(G1, G2) as the smallest N such that any edge coloring of the complete bipartite graph KN,N contains either a monochromatic G1 or a multicolored G2....
