Graph Colouring Problems and Their Applications in Scheduling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graph colouring and its generalizations are useful tools in modelling a wide variety of scheduling and assignment problems. In this paper we review several variants of graph colouring, such as precolouring extension, list colouring, multicolouring, minimum sum colouring, and discuss their applications in scheduling.

Chromatic Scheduling
Variations and extensions of the basic vertex-colouring and edge-colouring models have been developed to deal with increasingly complex scheduling problems. We present and illustrate them in specific situations where additional requirements are imposed. We include list-colouring, mixed graph colouring, co-colouring, colouring with preferences, bandwidth colouring, and present applications of ed...
متن کاملEquitable colourings in the Witt designs
There is a vast literature already in existence on colourings in graphs and designs. We refer the interested reader to [2, 7, 8, 11, 12]. A major application of such colourings is to sampling and scheduling problems. For an excellent consideration of designs for statistical purposes, see [13]; in [8], examples of graph colouring applications in scheduling are described. Let P be a point set and...
متن کاملSelf-Organizing Approach to Graph Vertex Colouring in the Applications of Ad Hoc Networks
In this paper we propose a self-organizing method for the graph colouring problem. The proposed self-organizing method for the graph colouring extends the chemical casting model and makes it possible to find the number of colours needed to colour the graph. The self-organizing approach is needed to solve scheduling tasks in the applications of ad hoc networks. Nodes in ad hoc networks are usual...
متن کاملOn the application of graph colouring techniques in round-robin sports scheduling
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it explores the issue of producing valid, compact round-robin sports schedules by considering the problem as one of graph colouring. Using this model, which can also be extended to incorporate additional constraints, the difficulty of such problems is then gauged by considering the performance of a number of different graph colouring algorithms. Seco...
متن کاملA supernodal formulation of vertex colouring with applications in course timetabling
For many problems in Scheduling and Timetabling the choice of a mathematical programming formulation is determined by the formulation of the graph colouring component. This paper briefly surveys seven known integer programming formulations of vertex colouring and introduces a new formulation using “supernodes”. In the definition of George and McIntyre [SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 15 (1978), no. 1, 90–...
