Graph Colouring and Variations (Annals of Discrete Mathematics)
July 24, 2018

Graph coloring has been a field of attraction for many years; a wide collection of papers has been dedicated to the study of chromatic properties of graphs. Initially such problems were just a kind of game for pure mathematicians; it was in particular the case of the famous four color problem. However, as people were getting used to applying the tools of graph theory for solving real-life organizational problems, chromatic models appeared as a quite natural way of tackling many situations. Among these are timetabling problems, or more generally scheduling with disjunctive constraints (pairwise incompatibility be- tween jobs), clustering in statistics, automatic classification, group technology in production (partitioning a collection of parts into families of parts which are as similar as possible in their production process), VLSI design, etc.
