/* COLOR, Graph Coloring Problem */ /* Written in GNU MathProg by Andrew Makhorin */ /* Given an undirected loopless graph G = (V, E), where V is a set of nodes, E <= V x V is a set of arcs, the Graph Coloring Problem is to find a mapping (coloring) F: V -> C, where C = {1, 2, ... } is a set of colors whose cardinality is as small as possible, such that F(i) != F(j) for every arc (i,j) in E, that is adjacent nodes must be assigned different colors. */ param n, integer, >= 2; /* number of nodes */ set V := {1..n}; /* set of nodes */ set E, within V cross V; /* set of arcs */ check{(i,j) in E}: i != j; /* there must be no loops */ /* We need to estimate an upper bound of the number of colors |C|. The number of nodes |V| can be used, however, for sparse graphs such bound is not very good. To obtain a more suitable estimation we use an easy "greedy" heuristic. Let nodes 1, ..., i-1 are already assigned some colors. To assign a color to node i we see if there is an existing color not used for coloring nodes adjacent to node i. If so, we use this color, otherwise we introduce a new color. */ set EE := setof{(i,j) in E} (i,j) union setof{(i,j) in E} (j,i); /* symmetrisized set of arcs */ param z{i in V, case in 0..1} := /* z[i,0] = color index assigned to node i z[i,1] = maximal color index used for nodes 1, 2, ..., i-1 which are adjacent to node i */ ( if case = 0 then ( /* compute z[i,0] */ min{c in 1..z[i,1]} ( if not exists{j in V: j < i and (i,j) in EE} z[j,0] = c then c else z[i,1] + 1 ) ) else ( /* compute z[i,1] */ if not exists{j in V: j < i} (i,j) in EE then 1 else max{j in V: j < i and (i,j) in EE} z[j,0] ) ); check{(i,j) in E}: z[i,0] != z[j,0]; /* check that all adjacent nodes are assigned distinct colors */ param nc := max{i in V} z[i,0]; /* number of colors used by the heuristic; obviously, it is an upper bound of the optimal solution */ display nc; var x{i in V, c in 1..nc}, binary; /* x[i,c] = 1 means that node i is assigned color c */ var u{c in 1..nc}, binary; /* u[c] = 1 means that color c is used, i.e. assigned to some node */ s.t. map{i in V}: sum{c in 1..nc} x[i,c] = 1; /* each node must be assigned exactly one color */ s.t. arc{(i,j) in E, c in 1..nc}: x[i,c] + x[j,c] <= u[c]; /* adjacent nodes cannot be assigned the same color */ minimize obj: sum{c in 1..nc} u[c]; /* objective is to minimize the number of colors used */ data; /* These data correspond to the instance myciel3.col from: http://mat.gsia.cmu.edu/COLOR/instances.html */ /* The optimal solution is 4 */ param n := 11; set E := 1 2 1 4 1 7 1 9 2 3 2 6 2 8 3 5 3 7 3 10 4 5 4 6 4 10 5 8 5 9 6 11 7 11 8 11 9 11 10 11 ; end;
