Question 1

What is vertex colouring?

  • Assigning colors to edges in a graph
  • The process of assigning colors to vertices in a graph
  • The number of colors in a graph

💡 Hint: Think about where colors are assigned.

Question 2

True or False: The vertex chromatic number is always equal to the number of vertices in the graph.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider when you might need fewer colors.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a graph with 12 vertices and a maximum degree of 6, create a set of vertex color assignments that achieves optimal colouring for a scheduling scenario.

💡 Hint: Start from the highest degree vertices down.

Question 2

Demonstrate a scenario in which the greedy coloring algorithm fails to produce an optimal number of colors. Construct a small graph example for clarity.

💡 Hint: Think about conflicting edges.
