چکیده
The problem of edge coloring a bipartite graph is to color the edges so that adjacent edges receive di erent colors An optimal algorithm uses the minimum number of colors to color the edges We consider several approximation algorithms for edge coloring bipartite graphs and show tight bounds on the number of colors they use in the worst case We also present results on the constrained edge coloring problem where each color may be used to color at most k edges

We consider several approximation algorithms for edge-coloring bipartite graphs and show tight bounds on the number of colors they use in the worst case.

متن کاملAnother Simple Algorithm for Edge-Coloring Bipartite Graphs
A new edge-coloring algorithm for bipartite graphs is presented. This algorithm, based on the framework of the O(m log d + (m/d) log(m/d) log d) algorithm by Makino–Takabatake–Fujishige and the O(m log m) one by Alon, finds an optimal edge-coloring of a bipartite graph with m edges and maximum degree d in O(m log d + (m/d) log(m/d)) time. This algorithm does not require elaborate data structure...
متن کاملBounded Max-colorings of Graphs
In a bounded max-coloring of a vertex/edge weighted graph, each color class is of cardinality at most b and of weight equal to the weight of the heaviest vertex/edge in this class. The bounded max-vertex/edge-coloring problems ask for such a coloring minimizing the sum of all color classes’ weights. In this paper we present complexity results and approximation algorithms for those problems on g...
متن کاملEdge-Coloring Bipartite Graphs
Given a bipartite graph G with n nodes, m edges and maximum degree ∆, we find an edge coloring for G using ∆ colors in time T +O(m log ∆), where T is the time needed to find a perfect matching in a k-regular bipartite graph with O(m) edges and k ≤ ∆. Together with best known bounds for T this implies an O(m log ∆ + m ∆ log m ∆ log ∆) edge-coloring algorithm which improves on the O(m log ∆+ m ∆ ...
