The graph colouring problem, a classic NP-hard challenge, is central to many practical applications such as scheduling, resource allocation and network management. Recent advances have seen the ...

The study of graph colouring has long been a central topic in discrete mathematics, with a prominent focus on optimising the assignment of labels or colours to vertices such that adjacent vertices are ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

A theorem for coloring a large class of “perfect” mathematical networks could ease the way for a long-sought general coloring proof. Four years ago, the mathematician Maria Chudnovsky faced an all-too ...

Let G = (V, E) be a strongly connected, aperiodic, directed graph having outdegree 2 at each vertex. A red-blue coloring of G is a coloring of the edges with the colors red and blue such that each ...
