The Robust Coloring Problem (RCP) is a generalization of the well-known Graph Coloring Problem where we seek for a solution that remains valid when extra edges are added. The RCP is used in scheduling of events with possible last-minute changes and study frequency assignments of the electromagnetic spectrum. This problem has been proved as NP-hard and in instances larger than 30 vertices, meta-...

A graph is (k, d)-colorable if one can color the vertices with k colors such that no vertex is adjacent to more than d vertices of its same color. In this paper we investigate the existence of such colorings in surfaces and the complexity of coloring problems. It is shown that a toroidal graph is (3, 2)and (5, 1)-colorable, and that a graph of genus γ is (χγ/(d + 1) + 4, d)-colorable, where χγ ...

An r-edge-coloring of a graph is an assignment of r colors to the edges of the graph. An exactly r-edge-coloring of a graph is an r-edge-coloring of the graph that uses all r colors. A matching of an edge-colored graph is called rainbow matching, if no two edges have the same color in the matching. In this paper, we prove that an exactly r-edge-colored complete graph of order n has a rainbow ma...

The list coloring of a graph G = G(V, E) is to color each vertex v ∈ V (G) from its set L(v). If any two adjacent vertices have different colors, then properly colored. aim this paper study the some operations

An acyclic edge-coloring of a graph G is a proper edge-coloring of G such that the subgraph induced by any two color classes is acyclic. The acyclic chromatic index, χa(G), is the smallest number of colors allowing an acyclic edge-coloring of G. Clearly χa(G) ≥ ∆(G) for every graph G. Cohen, Havet, and Müller conjectured that there exists a constant M such that every planar graph with ∆(G) ≥M h...

The broadcast scheduling problem asks how a multihop network of broadcast transceivers operating on a shared medium may share the medium in such a way that communication over the entire network is possible. This can be naturally modeled as a graph coloring problem via distance-2 coloring (L(1, 1)-labeling, strict scheduling). This coloring is difficult to compute and may require a number of col...
