Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Graph coloring is a notoriously challenging problem, especially when considering the online setting where each arriving vertex must be colored immediately and irreversibly. Even on trees, which are trivially two-colorable, achieving anything better than a logarithmic competitive ratio becomes impossible if the order of arrival is adversarially determined. We investigate tree coloring in a slightly relaxed model where vertices arrive online but in random order, focusing specifically on algorithms with predictions of varying reliability. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to all two-colorable graphs and provide matching lower bounds for both cases. (c) 2025 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.
