Computing the weighted coloring number of graphs is a classical topic in combinatorics and graph theory. Recently these problems have again attracted a lot of attention for the class of quasi-line graphs and more specifically fuzzy circular interval graphs ...
We study complexity and approximation of MIN WEIGHTED NODE COLORING in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-hard in planar graphs, even if they are triangle-free and their maximum degree is bounded above by 4. Then, we prove ...
We analyse the relations between several graph transformations that were introduced to be used in procedures determining the stability number of a graph. We show that all these transformations can be decomposed into a sequence of edge deletions and twin de ...
Tucker's lemma states that if we triangulate the unit disc centered at the origin and color the vertices with {1, 1,2, 2} in an antipodal way (if vertical bar z vertical bar = 1, then the sum of the colors of z and -z is zero), then there must be an edge F ...

We are interested in coloring the edges of a mixed graph. i.e., a graph containing unoriented and oriented edges. This problem is related to a communication problem in job-shop scheduling systems. In this paper we give general bounds oil the number of requ ...
