Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a graph represented with a triangular layout of vertices where each vertex is connected to every other vertex (a complete graph). How many colors are needed to color this graph according to the graph coloring principles?
💡 Hint: Think about the maximum adjacency possible between vertices.
Given a complex planar graph with multiple connections and vertices representing cities in a scheduling problem, devise a coloring strategy to assign no more than four colors under the rule that connected cities must have different colors. Explain your solution.
💡 Hint: Visualize the graph and plan a step-wise approach.
