Abstract | This paper describes a novel representation and ordering model that aided by an evolutionary algorithm, is used in solving the graph \emph{k}-colouring problem. Its strength lies in reducing the search space by breaking symmetry. An empirical comparison is made with two other algorithms on a standard suit of problem instances and on a suit of instances in the phase transition where it shows promising results. |
