Coloring Number Graph Theory. Chromatic Number is the minimum number of colors required to properly color any graph. I also define the chromatic number of a graph and discuss a good procedure for.
If a graph is not connected, each connected component can be colored independently; except where otherwise noted, we assume graphs are connected.
The greedy algorithm will not always color a graph with the smallest possible number of colors.
A graph that has a k-coloring is said to be k-colorable. Graph coloring problem is to assign colors to certain elements of a graph subject to certain constraints. The conjecture stated that four is the maximum number of colors required to color any map where bordering regions are colored differently.
