On Colouring Point Visibility Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Applied Mathematics, 2017
In this paper we show that it can be decided in polynomial time whether or not the visibility graph of a given point set is 4-colourable, and such a 4-colouring, if it exists, can also be constructed in polynomial time. We show that the problem of deciding whether the visibility graph of a point set is 5-colourable, is NP-complete.

A reconfigurations analogue of Brooks’ theorem. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Let G be a simple undirected graph on n vertices with maximum degree Δ. Brooks’ Theorem states that G has a Δ-colouring unless G is a complete graph, or a cycle with an odd number of vertices. To recolour G is to obtain a new proper colouring by changing

On J-Colouring of Chithra Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesNational Academy Science Letters, 2020
The family of Chithra graphs is a wide ranging family of graphs which includes any graph of size at least one. Chithra graphs serve as a graph theoretical model for genetic engineering techniques or for modelling natural mutation within various biological networks found in living systems.

Complexity of colouring problems restricted to unichord-free and \{square,unichord\}-free graphs

open access: yes, 2013
A \emph{unichord} in a graph is an edge that is the unique chord of a cycle. A \emph{square} is an induced cycle on four vertices. A graph is \emph{unichord-free} if none of its edges is a unichord.

Certain Chromatic Sums of Some Cycle Related Graph Classes

open access: yes, 2016
Let $\mathcal{C} = \{c_1,c_2, c_3, \ldots,c_k\}$ be a certain type of proper $k$-colouring of a given graph $G$ and $\theta(c_i)$ denote the number of times a particular colour $c_i$ is assigned to the vertices of $G$.

Progress on the adjacent vertex distinguishing edge colouring conjecture

open access: yes, 2020
A proper edge colouring of a graph is adjacent vertex distinguishing if no two adjacent vertices see the same set of colours. Using a clever application of the Local Lemma, Hatami (2005) proved that every graph with maximum degree $\Delta$ and no ...

Ordered colourings of graphs

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 1982
An ordered colouring of a graph with k colours is a vertex colouring with colours {1, 2,…,k} such that each vertex coloured j is joined to at least one vertex-of colour i for each i less than j. Examples of ordered colourings are those produced by the greedy colouring algorithm.

Greedy Graph Colouring is a Misleading Heuristic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
State of the art maximum clique algorithms use a greedy graph colouring as a bound. We show that greedy graph colouring can be misleading, which has implications for parallel branch and ...
