Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph where vertex degrees vary, design a strategy for colour assignment that minimizes overlaps, and analyze its effectiveness.

💡 Hint: Consider how high-degree vertices limit your colour options.

Question 2

Suppose you have a complete graph with ten vertices. How many colours must you use, and why? Can you relate this to chromatic number?

💡 Hint: Recall how complete graphs are structured.
