Abstract. The paper describes an application of Parallel Simulated Annealing (PSA) for solving one of the most studied NP-hard optimization problems: Graph Coloring Problem (GCP). ...

In [13], Erd˝os et al. defined the local chromatic number of a graph as the minimum number of colors that must appear within distance 1 of a vertex. For any ∆ ≥ 2, there are ...
We are interested in the graph coloring problem. We propose an exact method based on a linear-decomposition of the graph. The complexity of this method is exponential according to...
The vertex arboricity va(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set V (G) can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic subgraph. The f...
We study graph colorings avoiding periodic sequences with large number of blocks on paths. The main problem is to decide, for a given class of graphs F, if there are absolute const...
