The Interval Constrained 3-Coloring Problem
In this paper, we settle the open complexity status of interval constrained coloring with a fixed number of colors. We prove that the problem is already NP-complete if the number of different colors is 3. Previously, it has only been known that it is NP-complete, if the number of colors is part of the input and that the problem is solvable in polynomial time, if the number of colors is at most ...
متن کاملApproximating the Interval Constrained Coloring Problem
We consider the interval constrained coloring problem, which appears in the interpretation of experimental data in biochemistry. Monitoring hydrogen-deuterium exchange rates via mass spectroscopy experiments is a method used in that field to obtain information about protein tertiary structure. The output of these experiments provides data about the exchange rate of residues in overlapping fragm...
متن کاملOn the approximability of the maximum interval constrained coloring problem
In the Maximum Interval Constrained Coloring problem, we are given a set of intervals on a line and a k-dimensional requirement vector for each interval, specifying how many vertices of each of k colors should appear in the interval. The objective is to color the vertices of the line with k colors so as to maximize the total weight of intervals for which the requirement is satisfied. This NP-ha...
متن کاملA A Polynomial Delay Algorithm for Enumerating Approximate Solutions to the Interval Constrained Coloring Problem
We study the interval constrained coloring problem, a combinatorial problem arising in the interpretation of data on protein structure emanating from experiments based on hydrogen/deuterium exchange and mass spectrometry. The problem captures the challenging task of increasing the spatial resolution of experimental data in order to get a better picture of the protein structure. Since solutions ...
متن کاملDeconstructing intractability - A multivariate complexity analysis of interval constrained coloring
The NP-hard Interval Constrained Coloring (ICC) problem appears in the interpretation of experimental data in biochemistry dealing with protein fragments. Given a set of m integer intervals in the range 1 to n and a set of m associated multisets of colors (specifying for each interval the colors to be used for its elements), one asks whether there is a “consistent” coloring for all integer poin...
