The pre-coloring extension problem consists, given a graph G and a set of nodes to which some colors are already assigned, in finding a coloring of G with the minimum number of co...
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). ...

Abstract: Recently, there have been significant theoretical progresses towards fixed-parameter algorithms for the DOMINATING SET problem of planar graphs. It is known that the prob...
The evaluation or fitness function is a key component of any heuristic search algorithm. This paper introduces a new evaluation function for the well-known graph K-coloring proble...
