چکیده

We study the weighted improper coloring problem, a generalization of defective coloring. We present some hardness results and in particular we show that weighted improper coloring is not fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by pathwidth. We generalize bounds for defective coloring to weighted improper coloring and give a bound for weighted improper coloring in terms of the sum of edge weights. Finally we give fixed-parameter algorithms for weighted improper coloring both when parameterized by treewidth and maximum degree and when parameterized by treewidth and precision of edge weights. In particular, we obtain a linear-time algorithm for weighted improper coloring of interval graphs of bounded degree.

Weighted Improper Colouring

In this paper, we study a colouring problem motivated by a practical frequency assignment problem and up to our best knowledge new. In wireless networks, a node interferes with the other nodes the level of interference depending on numerous parameters: distance between the nodes, geographical topography, obstacles, etc. We model this with a weighted graph G where the weights on the edges repres...

Cross-Composition: A New Technique for Kernelization Lower Bounds

We introduce a new technique for proving kernelization lower bounds, called cross-composition. A classical problem L cross-composes into a parameterized problem Q if an instance of Q with polynomially bounded parameter value can express the logical OR of a sequence of instances of L. Building on work by Bodlaender et al. (ICALP 2008) and using a result by Fortnow and Santhanam (STOC 2008) we sh...

Improper Coloring of Weighted Grid and Hexagonal Graphs

We study a weighted improper colouring problem motivated by a frequency allocation problem. It consists of associating to each vertex a set of p(v) (weight) distinct colours (frequencies), such that the set of vertices having a given colour induces a graph of degree at most k (the case k = 0 corresponds to a proper coloring). The objective is to minimize the number of colors. We propose approxi...

Constructive algorithms for the partial directed weighted improper coloring problem

Given a complete directed graph G with weights on the vertices and on the arcs, a θ-improper k-coloring is an assignment of at most k different colors to the vertices of G such that the weight of every vertex v is greater, by a given factor 1 θ , than the sum of the weights on the arcs (u, v) entering v with the tail u of the same color as v. For a given real number θ and an integer k, the Part...
