Register allocation has long been formulated as a graph coloring problem, coloring the conflict graph with physical registers. Such a formulation does not fully capture the goal of the allocation, which is to minimize the traffic between registers and memory. Linear scan has been proposed as an alternative to graph coloring, but in essence, it can be viewed as a greedy algorithm for graph color...

An incidence of G consists of a vertex and one of its incident edge in G. The incidence coloring problem is a variation of vertex coloring problem. The problem is to find the minimum number (called incidence coloring number) of colors assigned to every incidence of G so that the adjacent incidences are not assigned the same color. In this paper, we propose a linear time algorithm for incidence-...

We investigate k-colorings of the rational n-space, Q, such that any two points at distance one get distinct colors. Two types of colorings are considered: patch colorings where the colors occupy open sets with parts of their boundary, and rigid colorings which uniquely extend from any open subset of Q. We prove that the existence of a patch k-coloring of Q implies the existence of a k-coloring...

Graph coloring was exploited in wireless sensor networks to solve many optimization problems. These problems are related in general to channel assignment. In this paper, we propose to jointly use coloring for routing purposes. We introduce CHRA a coloring based hierarchical routing approach. Coloring is exploited to avoid interferences and also to schedule nodes transmissions to sink. We provid...

The list coloring problem is a variant of vertex coloring where a vertex may be colored only a color from a prescribed set. Several applications of vertex coloring are more appropriately modelled as instances of list coloring and thus we argue that it is an important problem to consider. Regardless of the importance of list coloring, few published algorithms exist for it. In this paper we revie...

This specification describes how DNS SRV records, DNS TXT records, and well-known URIs can be used together or separately to locate CalDAV (Calendaring Extensions to Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)) or CardDAV (vCard Extensions to WebDAV) services. Information about the current status of this document, any errata, and how to provide feedback on it may be obtained at in effect ...

Batch scheduling of conflicting jobs is modeled by batch coloring of a graph. Given an undirected graph and the number of colors required by each vertex, we need to find a proper batch coloring of the graph, i.e., partition the vertices to batches which are independent sets, and to assign to each batch a contiguous set of colors, whose size equals to the maximum color requirement of any vertex ...

In this paper, we study the conflict-free coloring of graphs induced by neighborhoods. A coloring of a graph is conflict-free if every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its neighborhood. The conflict-free coloring problem is to color the vertices of a graph using the minimum number of colors such that the coloring is conflict-free. We consider both closed neighborhoods, where the neighbor...

Efficiently coloring an arbitrary graph is a fundamental and notoriously difficult algorithmic problem. This talk focuses on the restricted problem of determining the complexity of coloring graphs which do not contain a certain induced subgraph. Combining results of Kamiński and Lozin, and Hoyler, it follows that this problem remains NP-complete unless the excluded induced subgraph is a disjoin...

The graph coloring problem is a notoriously hard problem, for which we do not have efficient algorithms. A coloring of a graph is an assignment of colors to its vertices such that the end points of every edge have different colors. A k-coloring is a coloring that uses at most k distinct colors. The graph coloring problem is to find a coloring that uses the minimum number of colors. Given a 3-co...
