A graph coloring is an assignment of one of k colors to a graph G so that the endpoints of each edge have different colors, for some number k. Any coloring corresponds to a homomorphism from G to a complete graph K < sub > k </ sub >: the vertices of K < sub > k </ sub > correspond to the colors of G, and f maps each vertex of G with color c to the vertex of K < sub > k </ sub > that corresponds to c. This is a valid homomorphism because the endpoints of each edge of G are mapped to distinct vertices of K < sub > k </ sub >, and every two distinct vertices of K < sub > k </ sub > are connected by an edge, so every edge in G is mapped to an adjacent pair of vertices in K < sub > k </ sub >.

Many other decision problems, such as graph coloring problems, planning problems, and scheduling problems, can be easily encoded into SAT.
Much research in graph theory was motivated by attempts to prove that all maps, like this one, could be graph coloring | colored with four color theorem | only four colors.
If this triangulated graph is colorable using four colors or less, so is the original graph since the same coloring is valid if edges are removed.
For example, the case described in degree 4 vertex situation is the configuration consisting of a single vertex labelled as having degree 4 in G. As above, it suffices to demonstrate that if the configuration is removed and the remaining graph four-colored, then the coloring can be modified in such a way that when the configuration is re-added, the four-coloring can be extended to it as well.
In general, the surrounding graph must be systematically recolored to turn the ring's coloring into a good one, as was done in the case above where there were 4 neighbors ; for a general configuration with a larger ring, this requires more complex techniques.
More precisely, he showed that a random graph on vertices, formed by choosing independently whether to include each edge with probability has, with probability tending to 1 as goes to infinity, at most cycles of length or less, but has no independent set of size Therefore, removing one vertex from each short cycle leaves a smaller graph with girth greater than in which each color class of a coloring must be small and which therefore requires at least colors in any coloring.

# REDIRECT graph coloring
The two sets and may be thought of as a coloring of the graph with two colors: if one colors all nodes in blue, and all nodes in green, each edge has endpoints of differing colors, as is required in the graph coloring problem.
In contrast, such a coloring is impossible in the case of a non-bipartite graph, such as a triangle: after one node is colored blue and another green, the third vertex of the triangle is connected to vertices of both colors, preventing it from being assigned either color.
Perfection of the complements of line graphs of perfect graphs is yet another restatement of König's theorem, and perfection of the line graphs themselves is a restatement of an earlier theorem of König, that every bipartite graph has an edge coloring using a number of colors equal to its maximum degree.
However, if the algorithm terminates without detecting an odd cycle of this type, then every edge must be properly colored, and the algorithm returns the coloring together with the result that the graph is bipartite.
If the algorithm terminates without finding an odd cycle in this way, then it must have found a proper coloring, and can safely conclude that the graph is bipartite.
Tutte developed an extensive theory of nowhere-zero k-flows that is in some ways dual to that of graph coloring.

It is impossible for the graph of a function to intersect a vertical asymptote ( or a vertical line in general ) in more than one point.
While the numerical difference between the decimal and binary interpretations is relatively small for the prefixes kilo and mega, it grows to over 20 % for prefix yotta, illustrated in the linear-log graph ( at right ) of difference versus storage size.
Binary relations are used in many branches of mathematics to model concepts like " is greater than ", " is equal to ", and " divides " in arithmetic, " is congruent to " in geometry, " is adjacent to " in graph theory, " is orthogonal to " in linear algebra and many more.
The sets X and Y are called the domain ( or the set of departure ) and codomain ( or the set of destination ), respectively, of the relation, and G is called its graph.
Some mathematicians, especially in set theory, do not consider the sets and to be part of the relation, and therefore define a binary relation as being a subset of x, that is, just the graph.
* A Gaussian function, a specific kind of function whose graph is a bell-shaped curve
graph and assignment
IonMonkey is a more traditional compiler: it translates SpiderMonkey bytecode into a control flow graph, using static single assignment form ( SSA ) for the intermediate representation.
However there are many other kinds of directed acyclic graph that are not formed by orienting the edges of an undirected acyclic graph, and every undirected graph has an acyclic orientation, an assignment of a direction for its edges that makes it into a directed acyclic graph.
( Graph labeling usually refers to the assignment of labels ( usually natural numbers, usually distinct ) to the edges and vertices of a graph, subject to certain rules depending on the situation.
An Eulerian orientation of an undirected graph G is an assignment of a direction to each edge of G such that, at each vertex v, the indegree of v equals the outdegree of v. Such an orientation exists for any undirected graph in which every vertex has even degree, and may be found by constructing an Euler tour in each connected component of G and then orienting the edges according to the tour.
* Orientation ( graph theory ), an assignment of a direction to each edge of an undirected graph
In graph theory, graph coloring is a special case of graph labeling ; it is an assignment of labels traditionally called " colors " to elements of a graph subject to certain constraints.
In the tree on the left, the value of the function can be determined for a given variable assignment by following a path down the graph to a terminal.
Many problems in NP, including many NP-complete problems, ask whether a particular object exists, such as a satisfying assignment, a graph coloring, or a clique of a certain size.

In graph theory, a cocoloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the vertices such that each color class forms an independent set in G or in the complement of G. The cochromatic number z ( G ) of G is the least number of colors needed in any cocolorings of G. The graphs with cochromatic number 2 are exactly the bipartite graphs, complements of bipartite graphs, and split graphs.
