16 GRAPH COLORING

Graph coloring is a conceptually simple but computationally complex problem with a range of real-world applications. At its core, it consists of assigning a color to each node in an undirected graph such that no pair of nodes sharing an edge have the same color. Variations of this problem include minimizing the number of colors used or finding an assignment using only a fixed number of colors.

We can easily visualize the importance of the graph-coloring problem in terms of a map of Europe. We need to assign each country a color such that no two adjacent countries have the same color. If we use green for both France and ...
