Abstract

Given a graph G, we construct an auxiliary graph G@? with m@? vertices such that the set of all stable sets of G@? is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of all colorings of G. Then, we show that the Max-Coloring problem in G reduces to the Maximum Weighted Stable set problem in G@?.
