Guide to Graph Colouring Algorithms and Applications

This unique textbook treats graph colouring as an algorithmic problem, with a strong emphasis on practical applications. The work describes and analyses some of the best-known algorithms for colouring graphs, focusing on: whether these heuristics can provide optimal solutions in some cases; how they...
