Graph Colouring

Graph Coloring Procedure

Objective To color all vertices in a graph such that no two adjacent vertices share the same color, using a sequential coloring approach.

Steps to Follow

  1. Initial Arrangement

    • Arrange the vertices of the graph in some order.
  2. First Color Assignment

    • Choose the first vertex and color it with the first color.
  3. Sequential Vertex Coloring

    • Choose the next vertex
    • Color it with the lowest numbered color that has not been colored on any vertices adjacent to it
    • If all the adjacent vertices are colored with this color, assign a new color to it
    • Repeat this step until all the vertices are colored
