ABSTRACT. The maximum independent set problem (MAXIS) on general graphs is known to be NPhard to approximate within a factor of n1-, for any > 0. However, there are many "...

In this paper we study the performance of a particular on-line coloring algorithm, the First-Fit or Greedy algorithm, on a class of perfect graphs namely the permutation graphs. W...
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...
Many classes of graphs where the vertex coloring problem is polynomially solvable are known, the most prominent being the class of perfect graphs. However, the list-coloring proble...
A graph G is clique-perfect if the cardinality of a maximum clique-independent set of H equals the cardinality of a minimum clique-transversal of H, for every induced subgraph H o...
Circular-perfect graphs form a natural superclass of perfect graphs: on the one hand due to their definition by means of a more general coloring concept, on the other hand as an i...
We call an edge e of a perfect graph G critical if G − e is imperfect and say further that e is anticritical with respect to the complementary graph G. We ask in which perfect gr...
We study several cost coloring problems, where we are given a graph and a cost function on the independent sets and are to find a coloring that minimizes the function costs of the...
