Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

For a graph consisting of 8 nodes with varying degrees, demonstrate the edge colouring process while illustrating the chromatic number.

💡 Hint: Keep track of which colours you've assigned.

Question 2

Design a scheduling algorithm for a tournament with 10 teams, ensuring no two matches occur on the same day for any team. Calculate the edge chromatic number.

💡 Hint: Draw the graph and assign colours carefully, counting distinct colours used.
