Abstract

This paper describes a novel representation and ordering model, that is aided by an evolutionary algorithm, is used in solving the graph k-coloring. A comparison is made between the new representation and an improved version of the traditional graph coloring technique DSATUR on an extensive list of graph k-coloring problem instances with different properties. The results show that our model outperforms the improved DSATUR on most of the problem instances.
