چکیده

An edge-coloring of a graph G with colors 1, . . . , t is an interval t-coloring if all colors are used, and the colors of edges incident to each vertex of G are distinct and form an interval of integers. A graph G is interval colorable if it has an interval t-coloring for some positive integer t. The problem of deciding whether a bipartite graph is interval colorable is NP-complete. The smallest known examples of interval non-colorable bipartite graphs have 19 vertices. On the other hand it is known that the bipartite graphs on at most 14 vertices are interval colorable. In this work we observe that several classes of bipartite graphs of small order have an interval coloring. In particular, we show that all bipartite graphs on 15 vertices are interval colorable.

On Interval Edge Colorings of Biregular Bipartite Graphs With Small Vertex Degrees

A proper edge coloring of a graph with colors 1, 2, 3, . . . is called an interval coloring if the colors on the edges incident to each vertex form an interval of integers. A bipartite graph is (a, b)-biregular if every vertex in one part has degree a and every vertex in the other part has degree b. It has been conjectured that all such graphs have interval colorings. We prove that all (3, 6)-b...

An Enumeration Algorithm for the Edge Coloring Problem on Bipartite Graphs

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for nding all the edge colorings in bipartite graphs. Our algorithm requires O(m log + Kminfn 2 +m;m log g) time and O(m ) space, where n denotes the number of vertices, m denotes the number of edges, denotes the number of maximum degree, and K denotes the number of edge colorings.
