Abstract

En 中文
We present some patterns based on the basic cycles of a graph for determining proper 3-colorings of graphs. Such patterns are codified by models of a two conjunctive form. Thus, the problem of searching for proper 3-colorings of a graph G is reduced to determining the satisfiability of a two conjunctive form F-G (problem denoted as 2-SAT), and where any model of F-G codifies a way of 3-coloring G. The number of clauses, denoted as the size of F-G, depends on the number of basic cycles in G. And as 2-SAT is solvable in polynomial time on the size of FG then our algorithm determines some 3-colorings of G in polynomial time on the number of basic cycles of the input graph.
