  2. Graph coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_coloring

    The empty graph E 3 (red) admits a 1-coloring; the complete graph K 3 (blue) admits a 3-coloring; the other graphs admit a 2-coloring. Main article: Chromatic polynomial The chromatic polynomial counts the number of ways a graph can be colored using some of a given number of colors.

  3. DSatur - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSatur

    DSatur is known to be exact for bipartite graphs, [1] as well as for cycle and wheel graphs. [2] In an empirical comparison by Lewis in 2021, DSatur produced significantly better vertex colourings than the greedy algorithm on random graphs with edge probability p = 0.5 {\displaystyle p=0.5} , while in turn producing significantly worse ...

  4. Greedy coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greedy_coloring

    In the study of graph coloring problems in mathematics and computer science, a greedy coloring or sequential coloring [1] is a coloring of the vertices of a graph formed by a greedy algorithm that considers the vertices of the graph in sequence and assigns each vertex its first available color. Greedy colorings can be found in linear time, but ...

  5. List of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_algorithms

    An algorithm is fundamentally a set of rules or defined procedures that is typically designed and used to solve a specific problem or a broad set of problems.. Broadly, algorithms define process(es), sets of rules, or methodologies that are to be followed in calculations, data processing, data mining, pattern recognition, automated reasoning or other problem-solving operations.

  6. Look-ahead (backtracking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Look-ahead_(backtracking)

    In backtracking algorithms, look ahead is the generic term for a subprocedure that attempts to foresee the effects of choosing a branching variable to evaluate one of its values. The two main aims of look-ahead are to choose a variable to evaluate next and to choose the order of values to assign to it.

  7. List coloring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_coloring

    For a graph G, let χ(G) denote the chromatic number and Δ(G) the maximum degree of G.The list coloring number ch(G) satisfies the following properties.. ch(G) ≥ χ(G).A k-list-colorable graph must in particular have a list coloring when every vertex is assigned the same list of k colors, which corresponds to a usual k-coloring.

  8. Color-coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color-coding

    In computer science and graph theory, the term color-coding refers to an algorithmic technique which is useful in the discovery of network motifs. For example, it can be used to detect a simple path of length k in a given graph. The traditional color-coding algorithm is probabilistic, but it can be derandomized without much overhead in the ...

  9. Five color theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_color_theorem

    The graph ′ obtained this way has one fewer vertex than , so we can assume by induction that it can be colored with only five colors. If the coloring did not use all five colors on the five neighboring vertices of v {\displaystyle v} , it can be colored in G {\displaystyle G} with a color not used by the neighbors.
