In this paper, we propose a learning automata-based iterative algorithm for approximating a near optimal solution to the vertex coloring problem. Vertex coloring is a well-known NP-hard optimization problem in graph theory in which each vertex is assigned a color so that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. Each iteration of the proposed algorithm is subdivided into several stages, and...
