Graph reconfiguration and colouring problems investigate the transition between feasible solutions of a graph colouring instance. The central challenge is to determine a series of elementary vertex ...

The graph colouring problem, a classic NP-hard challenge, is central to many practical applications such as scheduling, resource allocation and network management. Recent advances have seen the ...

Have you ever tried to do the brainteaser below, where you have to connect the dots to make the outline of a house in one continuous stroke without going back over your lines? Or perhaps you've ...

A theorem for coloring a large class of “perfect” mathematical networks could ease the way for a long-sought general coloring proof. Four years ago, the mathematician Maria Chudnovsky faced an all-too ...

A puzzle that has long flummoxed computers and the scientists who program them has suddenly become far more manageable. A new algorithm efficiently solves the graph isomorphism problem, computer ...

If true, the following conjecture of Thomassen [Th81] is a planarity criterion for a special class of graphs that involves only K 5. Recall that a planar graph on n vertices contains at most 3n-6 ...
