Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a complex graph with multiple vertices and edges, use the greedy algorithm to determine the chromatic number. Discuss whether the result is optimal.

💡 Hint: Draw the graph and apply the algorithm step-by-step.

Question 2

Design a simple graph and explain how you would schedule a round-robin tournament using edge colouring. Calculate the edge chromatic number using the Gupta-Vizing theorem.

💡 Hint: Visualize the tournament as a complete graph.
