A Graph Coloring Algorithm and a Scheduling Problem.

Abstract

The graph coloring problem is defined, and its importance in several applications is noted. A new algorithm to color graphs is presented and tested against the Welch-Powell algorithm. Significantly better results are obtained on a sequence of three hundred randomly generated graphs. The new algorithm is applied to the solution of a scheduling problem. (Author)
