The notion of a split coloring of a complete graph was introduced by Erdős and Gyárfás [7] as a generalization of split graphs. In this paper, we offer an alternate interpretation by comparing such a coloring to the classical Ramsey coloring problem via a two-round game played against an adversary. We show that the techniques used and bounds obtained on the extremal (r,m)-split coloring problem...

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...

The Graph Coloring Problem (GCP) is one of the most interesting, studied, and difficult combinatorial optimization problems. That is why several approaches were developed for solving this problem, including exact approaches, heuristic approaches, metaheuristics, and hybrid approaches. This paper tries to solve the graph coloring problem using a discrete binary version of cuckoo search algorithm...

The problem of reducing interference in wireless networks is becoming increasingly important with the continuous deployment of larger and more sophisticated wireless networks. In this report we analyze the interference problem from a graph theoretical viewpoint. The interference reduction problem is modeled as a graph coloring problem. However, additional constraints to graph coloring scenarios...

The split-coloring problem is a generalized vertex coloring problem where we partition the vertices into a minimum number of split graphs. In this paper, we study some notions which are extensively studied for the usual vertex coloring and the cocoloring problem from the point of view of split-coloring, such as criticality and the uniqueness of the minimum split-coloring. We discuss some proper...
