An extension of the basic image reconstruction problem in discrete tomography is considered: given a graph G=(V,E) and a family P of chains Pi together with vectors h(Pi)=(hi1,...,hik), one wants to find a partition $V^{1},. ...
Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, ..., k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has both endpoints with the same color. We propose a new local search methodology, ...
Graph theory is an important topic in discrete mathematics. It is particularly interesting because it has a wide range of applications. Among the main problems in graph theory, we shall mention the following ones: graph coloring and the Hamiltonian circuit ...
We are interested in coloring the vertices of a mixed graph, i.e., a graph containing edges and arcs. We consider two different coloring problems: in the first one we want adjacent vertices to have different colors and the tail of an arc to get a color str ...
Most of the recent heuristics for the graph coloring problem start from an infeasible k-coloring (adjacent vertices may have the same color) and try to make the solution feasible through a sequence of color exchanges. In contrast, our approach (called FOO- ...
The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...
